A new fruit

I've just tasted my first Minneola. Nay, my first two. The first seemed so good I needed to double check. Apparantly a cross between a tangerine and a grapefruit, (though some say a cross between a tangerine and a pomelo) this is a tad smaller than an orange with skin that is somewhat detached from the fruit and that therefore peels very easily and a shape that is a little ovoid. And it is very very tasty. Fresh like an orange with a sweet lake of juice and a seam of keen acidity threaded straight through the middle. The fruit is brilliant, bright and the flavours crystalline in clarity. This chap has gone straight to the top five. Think i'll have another couple at lunch....
