So lanzones is langsat. It sure taste a lot better in our native tongue than the english one. I'm sure I'll receive another 'Dad your a genius' remark from my kids, when they bring home their fruity-fruity assignments. I always like the way they say it, but little they know I'm just very resourceful. Thanks for sharing Shiloh.)

"lansones" in Filipino, is "lanzones"in English language.In Thailand, it was "longkok" or duku, and in Malaysia, it was "langsak duku" As of now there is no preference english term for the sweet fruit.Its lansones or lanzones.
