Ok, I may actually, finally be losing it!
Last week, my Master Gardener class had a field trip to Magnolia Gardens. While we were touring the gardens, we passed a Flying Dragon that was probably 10 feet tall, full of fruit. I asked the head horticulturist if he minded if I snagged a couple of fruit to plant the seeds for rootstock. He said "No Problem" I got four nice fruits and ended up with 132 seeds.
Now the weird part. While I was slicing them open, I was waiting for the wicked smell. Nothing, actually smelled Lemony. I was remembering the REALLY nasty taste, but figured, what the heck. Yes, I tasted them! Waiting for the gag reflex to hit
, again nothing. Hmmmm, not bad. I wouldn't want to drink a gallon of it, but I think with a good bit of sugar, it would pass in an emergency. Might even work in a cookie recipe. Am I nuts? Have I finally burned out my taste buds eating all those Habanero and Scotch Bonnett peppers?
Anybody else ever find a passible FD? I am hoping the seeds produce something even better.
Keeping the fingers crossed.
