Shameless Plugs Of Products You Enjoy

Eating an actual pomegranate is such a pain in the ass.


Speaking of fruit related things, my favorite citrus, the minneola:


"The tangelo (pronounced /ˈtændʒəloʊ/ TAN-jə-loh) is a citrus fruit that is a hybrid of a tangerine and either a pomelo or a grapefruit. It may have originated in Southeast Asia over 3,500 years ago^{[citation needed]}. The fruits are the size of an adult fist and have a tangerine taste, but are very juicy, to the point of not providing much flesh but producing excellent and plentiful juice. Tangelos generally have loose skin and are easier to peel than oranges.^[1] They are easily distinguished from oranges by a characteristic nipple at the top of the fruit.

The Minneola tangelo is likewise a cross between a Duncan grapefruit and a Dancy tangerine, and was released in 1931 by the United States Department of Agriculture Horticultural Research Station in Orlando. Most Minneola tangelos are characterized by a stem-end neck which tends to make the fruit appear bell-shaped. Because of this it is called the Honeybell in the gift fruit trade where it is one of the most popular varieties, but the proper name is Minneola. The fruit is usually fairly large, typically 3 - 3½ inches in diameter. The peel color is quite good and when mature results in a bright reddish-orange color. The peel is relatively thin so the fruit peels easily. It is quite juicy. It has few seeds and numbers can range from zero up to perhaps as many as twelve seeds per fruit. The Minneola is not strongly self-fruitful and yields will be greater when interplanted with suitable pollenizers such as Temple, Sunburst tangerine or possibly Fallglo tangerine. It tends to bear a good crop every other year.

The fruit matures in the December-February period with January being the peak."

Hah - I'll see your Death Sauce & raise you a bottle of Dragons Blood:



Made using the dread Dorset Naga chilli - this is the undisputed king of serious heat (but a great flavour, too if you're brave enough); every year he makes a 'special' version for the Hertfordshire chilli festival - you can always tell where his stall is from the cries of "That's fantastic!", followed by screams of agony
