The Museum of Food Anomalies presents:
Scandalous Lemon
The scariest lemon ever… in the history of citrus… and of the world… forever… and for all time. I am scarred (most likely, for life). { SCANDAL: It turns out that this is an “ordinary” version of a Buddha’s Hand Citron. Details Here. That being said… yikes. }
holy shiitake mushrooms…WHAT IS ORDINARY ABOUT THAT?!!! i’m scared.
i will NEVER eat a lemon again…
It is his noodliness, the pastafarians were right he is coming.
That is exactly why i don’t eat fruit anymore
Drusky, look out for scurvey!
We got some of these donated at a soup kitchen yesterday. We all thought they were squash until someone broke off one of the fingers on a particularly offensive one while joking around. (ok it was me) I had some other aromatics: basil, fennel bulb, etc… So I chopped it all up, cooked it down a little, and added it to some salmon and rice. It was very good… Not quite a lemon but very lemon like.
I saw one of these in Whole Foods today- the lady behind me in line had one. I asked her where she found the Cthulhu Fruit- and she was somewhat offended. She said it was related to lemons- it was called “Buddha’s Hand”- and that she used it as a source of zest for lemon meringue pie because it had so much more than a regular lemon.
