I also think it is carambola (star fruit)

I'm afraid not - perhaps its the only one in the world..perhaps its more of a green roun pod than a fruit as there isnt much flesh its about the size of a tennis ball

Ok, lets try again, how about this? It is round (and green before it has ripened), and the inside is star shaped and there are all sorts of red seeds in it.

Re rulos

For a tasty treat a la Elvis Presley type cuisine (I'm thinking of fried Mars bars!!!), take a rulo still in its skin, turn it on the convex side (so it's curved up at th ends like a boat, slide it down th emiddle but not through the skin at the bottom, fill gap with marshmallows and then top with chocolate or chocolate sauce (real good quality chocolate is better, which of course mans that American pseudo-chocolate will not do at all). Finally, wrap the whole thing up in kitchen foil and place on the barbecue or in fire embers fora while. 3 rum punches should do it.

Oh, I almost forgot - then you eat it.

I learnt this while living in Barbados - and I'm still alive.

lol...no when it falls off of the tree the pod splits open ,peels back and lands on the floor like a starfish with a bright red centre
