Chinese New Year and the Pomello

Pomellos are yellow, They are giant and I mean giant, did I mention giant to the max sort of like grapefruit. They start to appear in the Asian Markets in January. I am no sure if anyone eats them but they are spectacular. They look like grapefruit but are as sweet as an orange. They are fragrant and beautiful. They have very very thick skin and lots of that white soft padding stuff that comes in some citrus. They are worth the effort at least one time a year. I regret not taking a picture before I ripped it all apart.

It is the year of the tiger. I am not sure if that is good or bad but it just is. I wonder of tigers eat pomellos or just bat them around.
