It's called native pear, ube, African pear, and many others. It has a sourish taste (and I guess that's when they are not yet fully ripened when plucked), but these are some of my favourite fruits in Nigeria. It's a fruit, but it is not eaten raw. First it has to be dipped in hot water for about 10 minutes before it can be eaten with a dash of salt. Hmm, yummy.
