I am not a fan of kumquats, so I think you’re very brave for trying them!

OOHHH kumquats …. squezze a lil bit into cold sprakling mineral water + drop in some stevia (optional) >> enjoy … it’s really good that way. I think kumquats are not good to be eaten as a whole fruit – i think its best to treat it as lemons

I’ve always been curious about kumquats, but now at least I have some idea what they taste like! Sour isn’t my particular favorite either, so I’ll probably avoid them. Kiwis, however, ARE to die for. Have you ever tried starfruit?

ooooh kumquats! lovely start to the challenge indeedy – my family and i always eat ONLY the skin and use the fruit as one would use lemon juice (it’s certainly equally sour!) the skin is so lovely and citrusy and tart, and a symbol of good luck for the chinese. can’t wait for more!

Oh dear! Sorry about the sourness! My Mum goes mad over Kumquat Jam, maybe you could make something like that with them?

heck, what I wanted to say was… maybe the kumquats hadn’t reached their height of ripeness yet ? Because what I meant to tell you was, though I recall sourness, they were really well-balanced sweet and sour little buggers, the kummies, fruity perfection… as was the kiwi my teacher forced me to eat .
I am forever grateful to Frau Espe for being so persistent!
