Strange Thing II

The Answer...

Well personally, I thought they looked like squid eggs...

But, what is pink or yellow, sweet, juicy and enormous...

Kind of scary looking when viewed up close...

With skin thick and protective of its treasures...

Pomelos are something I only discovered after I moved here. They are pretty amazing creatures, like grapefruits on steroids, but without the bitterness.

On a different note,

I would like to apologize for being offline for most of last week,

I was in Jerusalem for a couple of days and simultaneously, my Internet connection went wonky - a burnt out connection plug outside somewhere and router problems and... It is in temporary fix mode right now, but hopefully it will get fixed properly tomorrow... I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

wow...I wouldn't have guessed but I don't think I'll be eating one of them soon (that one pic looks like decomposing fingers!) It was fun to guess, tho.

Hey Catherine,
Glad you liked it. If you've never tried a pomello it is like a grapefruit, but way sweeter without the bitterness, just make sure you only eat the insides - the jellyfish looking bits, very, very yummy... 8^)
