What is a pandanus?

If you live in the Northern Territory you would know what it is. I was walking along in Litchfield National Park and found some odd looking fruit on the ground. Turns out you can eat the fruit which is what I did. First I boiled them

Then I scraped out the flesh. It's a bit of work for not much return

Then I mixed this blob with maple syrup and served it with coconut yoghurt.

Delicious! The only thing I would do differently next time is leave the pandanuses overnight in water to reduce the astringency. Yes, I would make this again.
