Ugli

That's not a typo...

Scout and I saw these interesting fruits at the grocery...

...and since we rarely see anything very interesting in our grocery store - and then once we saw the name of the poor thing - we decided that we had to spend the $2.29 to obtain a poor little UGLI fruit (actually it's pronounced hoo-glee in Jamaica)...

...it's a cross between a grapefruit and a tangerine and when you open it up - the fruit sits loosely in what appears to be a skin too big for it...

...it was very sweet and juicy - the segments were a little tough and papery 'though - but still it was very good and I'd definitely try it again...

  2. I love discovering new produce. Unfortunately I have a pretty strong aversion to citrus right this moment. So, I will have to live vicariously through you for now.

  3. A good example of, it’s the beauty within that counts. I like that you felt sorry for the fruit and had to buy it. :)
