Just picked up this delicious-looking specimen at the store. A day old + foreign origin = big discount.
For those of you not impressed by slabs of animal flesh, here's a large lump of juicy plant matter that I intend on eating this week. Feast your eyes upon the almighty Starburst Pomelo - a pomelo-ruby grapefruit hybrid.
Picked up two of these badboys at Costco the other day and I look forward to gorging.
This thing is as big as my freakin' head.
From my days regulating agricultural imports at a port of entry, I often (though not always, of course) observed "big fruit, little people." You bring me back. That's one impressive pomelo. As for the meat, in relation to the fruit - what the hell? That looks like more than one meal!
ReplyDeleteAs a lover of ruby red grapefruits, I must look up this mystical fruit! Or I'll just run over to Japan and pick one up.
ReplyDeleteYou can find them in the US. Um, I forgot to mention that sometimes the peel is very... robust, and the amount of edible fruit unexpectedly less. Paul, you'll have to report back.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll try one tonight and make a report.
ReplyDelete@Shadow - I think these are supposed to be a lot less bitter than grapefruits, but we'll see.
