After you peel it, then you can attempt to bite off a chunk of the fiberous interior which is basically pure liquid sugar. If you don't bite it off quickly the juice runs down your face and everywhere, like in this picture(it's an outdoor food, kind of like watermelon). After chewing it and sucking all the juice out you spit out the fiberous left-overs. When I eat it I feel like a cross between a gorilla chomping complacently on a stick of bamboo and a kid sucking on a lolly pop. It is delicious and a perfect treat on a hot sunny day. As an added benefit your teeth feel squeeky clean after eating it, like you've brushed your teeth and flossed. Miriam doesn't believe that it is good for your teeth because it has so much sugar, but as for me I believe.
