Once I tried a dragonfruit from the nursery I mentioned below, I was in love. It was a white flesh variety with a hint of coconut and/or cantaloupe.

I usually put them in the refridgerator for a few hours, then cut them in half and spoon the flesh out. It's like eating one of those italian icey thingys.
the best white variety is David Bowie. my favorite is American Beauty, tought to beat. be careful of unnamed varieties they may never fruit.
