Jackfruit
The conversation went a little something like this:
Me: Oh, you should try it! It's good!
Him: No.
Me: Mmm. It's so tasty!
Him: No.

Him: They're good!

Must be a duppy or a gunman
I've been thinking of Jamaican supernatural recently (I have a plot bunny going for free....) and this song came right to mind:
