Pitaya.
I knew it was from the "Prickly Pear" family. My husband has a book called, "Fruit: A Connoisseur's Guide and Cookbook," by Alan Davidson, and there it was! Although, the picture wasn't quite it, but the description was spot-on.
Excerpt from the book: "The fruit is oval to oblong, up to 4 inches long, and may be bright red, peach-colored or yellow. The pulp inside is sweet, white, and juicy. It contains numerous tiny black seeds. The juice makes a refreshing beverage. The fruit can be cut in half and chilled, then eaten with a spoon."
Although, I must confess, it looks very dramatic and pretty in cross-segment slices and I ate the other half right out of the skin by just flipping it inside out and *slurp* - gone. Delicious.
