Ackee
You have to marvel at the bravery of whoever was the first to try these strange-looking fruits. The ackee is sometimes called a "vegetable brain" because only the inner, brain-shaped, yellowish arils are edible. Native to tropical West Africa, this fruit has been imported and cultivated in Jamaica, Haiti and Cuba and has been incorporated into some Caribbean cuisine.

A note to the author - It would have been wise to mention that Ackee is poisonous until it is fully ripe.
