Pamela and I were at Whole Foods the other day and came across this bizarre specimen called Buddha's Hand. Pamela tells me it's like a lemon, except shaped like a bizarre hand with fifty fingers. It's seriously the strangest fruit I can imagine. It looks like it came from Jupiter. This picture is of the underside of one.
New to me. Strangely, I don't really want to eat one. Food that looks strange but otherwise taste similar to other foods are a lot less interesting to me than food that tastes very strange. Hence, durian.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like just a lot of lemon peel!
ReplyDeleteMaybe there's a little tube of lemon "flesh" inside each finger, so you can make gluten-free sour-spaghetti with it.
