yeah.. that was really delicious.

not sure if it is prog or not.... but then again...  I don't even know if Genesis is prog or not LOL According to 99% of the musical world they are a pop group and should be in Prog-Related like every band that did prog albums yet is KNOWN as something other than a prog band.  Like Judas Priest haha.

When you get a good a batch, they're a wonderful blend of sweet and sour and few seeds if any, very tender flesh.

"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 9 - 9½ inches in circumference. The peel color when mature, results in a bright reddish-orange color. The peel is relatively thin, so the fruit peels easily. It is quite juicy. 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." Wkki

By the way, the smaller ones are usually the best.

I wonder what would happen if The Utility Muffin Research Kitchen joined forces with The United States Department of Agriculture Horticultural Research Station in Orlando? Tongue




What a coincidenceWink! I just ate one for breakfast.... They're deliciousClap! I have to say I had never heard of them before I moved here, but yesterday got a bag at the grocery store, and now I am a fan.


I like them as well. I bought a net of them last week. My wife and kid don't join me on eating them, and they don't know what they are missing. They are tasty and very juicy, and not so difficult to dismantle as oranges.

That's what I wanted to say as well, though I wouldn't have said it as well  as jampa

The Tomato is surely the proggiest of the prog foods!
Like prog fans, it is often mistaken for a vegetable!

A good home grown tomato is the fruit of the gods, the ones you typically get at the store are usually awful. LOL
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

All too true, even in Italy nowadays. Beefsteak tomatoes can be particularly tasteless, even in summer. I generally go for plum tomatoes, which are usually tastier.

Subscribing to the Tomato - a berry masquerading as a vegetable (genetically it's closest relation is the potato apparently).

Tomatoes turn out to be fruit and peanuts turn out to be beans.

Nothing is what it seems, which is also prog - like.

Whatever the case, TORMATO will never be the proggiest fruit . It gets rather bashed on this site and even squashed on album covers LOL

Maybe grapes are the most progressive fruits, because the different flavours in a good wine are very prog - like.

The pineapple - geometrically complex, and surprisingly versatile - if that's not prog I don't know what is.

Spectacular answers! Despite what the polls may say I think I'm stuck on Pineapple or Tomato.I am also surprised that the Apricot hasn't received a vote yet!
