Duhat?
While walking on the Camino, I ran into a tree that was screaming with abundant fruit, one that I had not yet seen before on the Camino. As I looked further, they looked a lot like DUHAT, which is a fruit I used to eat a lot of when I was a young kid growing up in the Philippines. I had to try it to see and confirm. But there was no one around to ask if it was okay and edible. I waited and hesitated but in the end, I grabbed a handful, rinsed it and ate it. It was delicious! It totally tasted like duhat and sweeter.... until a local burst my bubble.
As I kept on walking, a lady saw me eating it and told me that I should not eat it because it's not edible! She also gave me a nervous laugh. She said I should go to the doctor if I started feeling sick. Obviously, this ruined my appetite and the moment for me. So I had to throw away my duhat to my dismay.
In the end, I was fine. I drank water and I didn't get sick. Ahhhh, life of a pilgrim.
