Do you eat the skin of satsumas? Everyone at work thinks I'm weird, but they're like kumquats, the skin is tasty. I also eat the skin of mangoes. Mmm, fiber.

No. Though I do like eating dried orange peel.

Oh, man, a Taiwanese co-worker gave me some of that. Soooo... terrible...

The peel of some cirtus fruits have toxins in them that's not exactly good for your digestive system.

I do eat the skin on kumquats, although I haven't seen them in 10 years.

I also eat kiwi skins which everybody else thinks is weird.

Kiwi skins have a really funky texture so I don't eat them unless I'm lazy. They don't change the flavor though, which is nice. They just give you a mouthful of hairy skin :|

No. I love this time of year when the satsumas are in season. I've been eating a bunch everyday. Luckily I pass Becnel's fruitstand twice a day.:D
Everytime I buy some I wonder if I should buy a few trees and grow my own.

I am totally lost here.

I haven't eaten anything besides dry pasta in a box for the last 3 years.

No, don't eat the skin.

Man I miss satsumas. My grandfather had 2 trees in his backyard, he'd give us 2 or 3 paper grocery bags filled to the top with them every year (almost up until he passed away 2 years ago).

The clementines here just don't compare.

kumquat has to be the weirdest name for a fruit, I always think of W C Fields whenever it is mentioned.
