What fruit is this?

[Emancipated]

What are these called in English? It's very good if you eat them with a little salt and chili pepper paste. Yummy!

A genus of the Guava family?

[angieec]

i believe that's a "quince"...

Wikipedia:
The Quince (Cydonia oblonga) is the sole member of the genus Cydonia and native to warm-temperate southwest Asia in the Caucasus region. It is a small deciduous tree, growing 5-8 m tall and 4-6 m wide, related to apples and pears, and like them has a pome fruit, which is bright golden yellow when mature, pear-shaped, 7-12 cm long and 6-9 cm broad.

May be it's the fact that I get this fruit solely from China Town that's why it always look the same. The referenced sources show different types of this fruit. Some are very pear like, others are more Granny Smith apple like.

Thanks for the quelling my curiosity. I've wondered about it for the longest time.

Guava is my first guess.

BTW, we dont eat the seeds

I love it best with crushed salted/sugar prunes meat.

That apple looks rotten. You should probably throw it out.

it looks kinda like thai eggplant to me...

Looks like an unripe guava to me. A quince has its pips in the middle like an apple, not around the flesh. A quince smells and tastes like a bland sourish apple with a denser consistency. A guava smells perfumy and sweet and has hard seeds scattered around

Why not? The seed part is the sweetest part of the fruit. The outside is pretty bland.
