You say pomelo, I say oversized tennis ball...

From wikipedia.org:

The pomelo (or pummelo, pommelo, jabong, or shaddock), Citrus maxima (also Citrus grandis), is a citrus fruit, usually a pale green to yellow when ripe, larger than a grapefruit, with sweet flesh and thick spongy rind.

Cheers Heavy and Rosey decided to purchase one of these from Dierberg's last night. They were curious about its large size and rumored bright red innards. We had a fondue dinner at Britt and Rod's, and they patiently waited well into the night to cut open the pomelo.

When the time finally came, Rosey sang a ceremonial song to the tune of "Good Vibrations" by Marky Mark.

Come on, come on
Peel it, peel it
Peel the pomelo!

Turns out, it didn't taste that great. Jeff Bradley, commented on the large amount of "membrane." Some call it the rind. The fruit's flesh was actually pale pink, not blood red.

We didn't let our disappointment ruin the rest of the night.
