Ugli Fruit

I was around my local Superquinn lately when I saw what looked like a huge big pile of seriously out of date oranges....looked rank :eek: ....anyway, turns out it was actually Ugli Fruit, which apparently is a Jamacian fruit which tastes something like a cross between an orange and a grapefruit! news to me, anybody know…

I am tempted to go buy some out of curiousity....

Well then do! It's ages since I had an Ugli Fruit. The warty-looking skin is quite thick but the inside is the same segmented citrus style as an orange or grapefruit. It's quite tasty as long as it's ripe.
