creepy cthulhu citrus, originally uploaded by dreamoo.

I caught this at the Whole Foods just a while ago, and while it looks a Lovecraftian alien bent on destroying all that is good and sacred, it’s just a lemon.

How on earth do you eat this thing? I mean, besides the basic logistics of preparing it, how do you put this in your mouth? It looks like it not only has a (possibly wretched, tortured) soul, it looks like it eats souls.

Next update: I will get one of these, try one of those wacky miracle berry tablets and see if I taste the apocalypse in my mouth.

P.S. I really enjoy that the top of the tag says “conventional”. Oh, of course. Just the run-of-the-mill extraterrestrial Avatar-tentacle citrus. No biggie.

    It will be interesting to see what will happen in your miracle berry experiment. I will be looking forward to your post. I’m thinking of buying some to try too.

    ISDGYB: I’m so damned glad you’re back. :)

    re: miracle berry tablets, where are you going to get them and can the food bloggers join in? I know I’d love to! Hell, I’ll even host it, if folks don’t mind coming to the BBY.

    Hi Jessica! Good to be back.

    I’m actually doing this as a small get together with some friends tomorrow night already, but I’d be happy to organize this as a f-blogger event too :) I’ve tried the miracle berry tablets once and they were really wicked kooky. A fun tastebud trippin’ experience, if you ask me.

    If you’re ok with hosting, then let’s do it!
