Custard apples

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

I was reading a Spanish magazine and they were explaining how the Malaga area was increasing yields in certain less common fruits such as custard apples. I had not heard of these before and wondered whether or not I should try one, but soon forgot about it. Two hours later I was listening to a BBC podcast comedy chat with Dave Gorman and the subject got onto fruit. Out of nowhere he suddenly said “Have you tried custard apples?”, then went on to describe how delicious they were and the fact that they did actually taste of custard.
