Kumquat. I've been urged, no, ordered to try a kumquat. After my moment of indecision a few days ago. So today I plucked some from the produce section and when safely at home I washed and then bit into one. Well..... underwhelming. Tastes like a tiny mandarin orange, perhaps a shade more bitter. I've done it though, busted through my kumquat virginity. And guess what? I also bought a quince. So this week I will have de-virginized myself with two fruits. If you add on the lychee that I tried at Gavin's house, that will be three new fruits for 2003. And who says my life isn't exciting.


Kumquat. I like starfruit better.
