Papaya with Lime

I don't usually like papaya because it tends to have the smell and slight flavor of over-ripe or rotting fruit (to me at least). I've recently had it served with a wedge of lime. The lime helps to add a freshness to the cut papaya and masks the unpleasant odor and flavor. I have actually developed a liking for fresh papaya served with lime. The lime also makes the papaya seem juicier and sweeter.
