Naturally, I supposed that these &#8220;kumquats&#8221; were some horrid-tasting vegetable whose flavor hovered somewhere between rancid squash (<i><b>yuck!!</b></i>) and boiled beets (<i><b>eeeeeeeeewww!!!!!</b></i>).</p><p>Today, I discovered that kumquats are, in fact, a relative of citrus fruits. They have a pleasantly bitter-tart-sweet flavor and an oval shape. And they very well may be my absolute favorite fruit of all.</p> Tue, 17 Jun 2008 23:30:59 GMT http://www.allconsuming.net/entry/view/60849 nobody@allconsuming.net (Johan B.)
