Papaya With Port Wine
"I read about this appetizer in African Cooking. The author described that when he was in Luanda, the capital of Angola, he would being his dinners with large, deep-orange papayas. He would eat them with the juice of an Angolan lime, sweetened by a few drops of port. Make sure to use very ripe papayas."

Well, who would have thought that this combination would work so well? I have a hard time imagining port in Luanda, but it really worked nicely with the papaya and lime. A simple way to dress up a quick dessert.
