At least I think it was. The Mexican vendor said it was Mamey, and I was confused if it was Mamey sapote or Mamey apple. The fruit was large, 2-3 lbs. Round in shape, orange-flesh with a single black seed. The single, large black seed makes me think it's a mamey sapote because mamey apples have light brown seeds, but most I've seen are football-shaped, not round.
On to the taste, I found hints of pumpkin/banana bread. It wasn't overpoweringly sweet. The texture was reminiscent of avocado & cooked sweet potato, with a little less fibrous tissue. I enjoyed it. I kept the seed and potted it in a 1 gal. I know they take around 7-10 years to fruit, but I'm hoping to grow rootstock & find someone with wood from a good variety. I think "Patin" is the most common.
