What looks like bird shit on the fruit above is actually Papain, a milky sap that is used medicinally to treat digestive disorders, tenderize meats, and remove tapeworms from the body. It also makes a great facial creme. The Thai folks make a mighty fine papaya salad with the unripe fruit but I mainly wait for them to get big and orange and juicy and make some kickin smoothies!
