Now you need to go on the hunt for paw-paw, which is native to your neck of the woods. I've never tried it or seen it in markets, but I'm told the fruit looks like a mango and tastes like banana with a soft custard-like texture.
Funny you should mention that, I've heard of paw-paws and searched hard a few weeks ago. I managed to find some trees, but no sign of the actual fruit. I might have to go down to Ohio, where they are having a resurgence in the last few years.
