Fun with citrofortunella

SARASOTA, Fla. — On a dare, Marnie ate a calamondin orange, which is a hybrid of a tangerine and a kumquat. I believe she found it to be a tad sour.

Couldn't be worse than the durian, which is supposed to smell quite foul.

But yes, that does not look like a pleasant experience.

(ok maybe cherimoya is close)---but
