Question of the Day - Monday, October 27th, 2025

Today's question is from @Chickenpoonumber2:

Do you know what a kumquat is? Have you ever eaten one?

I know what one is, but I don't think I've eaten one. I have eaten loquats, though.

 

[tlcmurphy]

Yes, I didn’t care for it.

 

[nuthatched]

Nasty things.

 

[Evadig]

No, I don’t know what that is.

Yup. Godfather was a citrus farmer, and he grew kumquats in his "test grove" along with a number of other odd citrus and fruit. They're small, youeat the whole thing, peel and all. I kinda remember them being OK? It's been a long time since I've had one, though.

My memory of them may be blurred by the nostalgia factor. I loved running those groves as a kid and just exploring all the plants and chasing the peacocks and pheasants.

 

[sourland]

[tripletfeb]

[5Australorpasaures]

Something I want no part of.

Don't know what it is but know enough to know I don't need to know.
