I've eaten a little, and my technique was to bite a hole in the tough 
spiny skin, and suck out the pulp.  I thought it was an interesting 
fruit, but not one I liked very much.  Bland, slightly exotic, with a 
sort of unpleasant texture.  But then, I'm not wild about the flavor of 
banana, either.
