I sliced off the stem and halved it.
The skin is tough and bad-tasting, so we scooped out the flesh with a spoon. It had the texture of a tomato: firmer flesh on the outside, with seed-containing jelly on the inside. The seeds are tough. Its flavor was also similar to a tomato, and the jelly was quite sweet, reminding me a little of a passionfruit.
Didn't strike me as dessert-like, particularly, but it was certainly pleasant. I found recipes for nice jams and puddings, if I should ever have the urge to experiment further.

It looks a lot like a plum or Italian paste tomato. I wonder what the foliage is like? $1.00 for a tamarillo, $.10 for a yellow kiwi....Hmmm. I think I'd go for the kiwis!
How fun to explore the new fruits and then share the sensations in picures and words with us! Thanks! you know, Allie, when this blog is done, it will be a book! Ha! ;o)
