Ok, so my mom was the only one to guess at all right, but yes it is called Soursop. I'm not entirely sure what they call it here.
I am so sad to say this... but I did not enjoy this fruit :( I really really wanted to like it but it had a very sour and off-tasting flavor. I am willing to give it a second try though because this other expat told me she really liked it so maybe I just got a bad one. Also, in South America and other tropical areas it is often used for ice cream and jams so maybe it just needs a good dose of sugar to be revamped into a tasty treat.
It is also known as a graviola and guanabana and is touted to be a potent cancer killer. I'll let you all know if I try it again and like it!
