I had an interesting experience the other day while shopping for groceries: I discovered a new fruit. I’m not talking about some mild variation on apples (golden honey crisp granny smith…), rather something mind-blowing that I’d never seen before – the Buddha’s Hand citron. The thing looks like a yellow octopus; here’s a shot of Wendy pretending to eat it:
I thought I new just about every interesting fruit out there, but this one was a pleasant suprise – until we tried eating it. The darn thing tasted like a pithy lemon with little flavour. I’m going to put it in the same category as Dragon Fruit: stunning until bitten into.
