ugli fruit

wikipedia says this is a natural hybrid someone found growing in jamaica, but given the name and the very effusive website for the grower, i'm not sure i buy it. though it doesn't really matter, because it tastes good. the fruit i got was the size of a big grapefruit, with blotchy orange green yellow skin and tendencies toward floppiness.

the inside looked like a grapefruit made of orange flesh, and tasted like a very very juicy (like, running down your arms) orange with some extra acidity and zing. all four testers appeared to like it. one said it wasn't as good as an orange, but i and possibly one other liked it better.
