have you ever seen one of these?

i haven’t.

when i saw it in fairway this evening
my skin got all crawly for just a
moment. it looks a little scary,
doesn’t it?

like it should be gobbled up by
big giant beasts who turn into
scary things at night.

or like it should transform into
a tiny monster with very
poisonous venom.

it’s called a fingered citron.
i’m not sure how you eat it
or what it tastes like, and i
will never know because it
costs $8.99

way to be brave and bold
fairway, i’m sure the new
trader joe’s won’t be selling
“fruit” like this.
