Kumquat the question

Before today I had never eaten kumquat, after today I will not be eating them again.

I think it is good to try new things so when I saw these at lunch today I thought I would give them ago. It said on the pack "sweet and sour, can be eaten whole".

After a discussion at work about how really anything about the size of a golf ball or smaller can be eaten whole, which does not actually mean it should be, I tried them out.

Verdict - With or without the skins they are horrible.

I brought them home for the family to try and though they looked nice with all the other orange fruit they now have been thrown in the garden.
