Mystery solved
May. 17th, 2007 10:36 amI finally found out what I picked from my parents' garden... I went wandering through the fruit trees last time I went home, and filled a bag with Mystery Fruit(tm).
Apparently, they're from a lemonade tree. Yellow fruit, thick skin like a lemon, pale orange flesh, and a high sugar content.
That part of their garden has always been full of surprises: peacherines (smooth-skinned peaches), plumcots (green-skinned apricots that taste like plums), grafted apple trees with five different sorts of fruit...
...I'm just not sure if they live in some kind of Enid Blyton storybook, or on the Island of Doctor Moreau...
