The papayas were a bit too ripe for this recipe. I think they would have been better if they were a little firmer.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for me. I think I'll use less sugar next time.

The stuffing was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs, and it was much better.

I followed the recipe exactly and the papayas came out a bit undercooked. I think I'll add a few more minutes to the baking time next time.
