Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼I am obsessed with this “Fruit in the custard apple family.” I know it as a pawpaw, but in this puzzle, it’s a PAPAW (which I can’t help but pronounce like the French might — paPAW). In the crossword, there have been over 60 PAPAWs for only five PAWPAWS, but both spellings are considered correct. There’s no standardized taste for these fruits because they’ve never been successfully hybridized; I had a spoonful of one once which was indescribably delicious and have been unsuccessfully chasing that taste ever since.
