Cashew fruit, from a street vendor. The red fruit above the nut is edible, eaten as is. An acquired taste, I believe... it left an aftertaste that reminded me of other wild fruits, like an unripe persimmon. The nut is fascinating- just one is held in a husk below the red fruit. It is toxic before being roasted- Johnny said even deadly.
