    Never heard of them.
    So I found a photo:

    How on earth do you eat that? If it's just the pips part in the middle, there's so little it's not worth battling to get to it.

    Or do you eat the whole thing? Is the outside like a peach (soft/eat), or like an orange (hard/don't eat)?

    You cut in half the other way from that picture, and scrape it put with a spoon. You eat the pips. You do not eat the skin which is hard but very thin. A bit like saran wrap.

    You can eat citrus skin, jus not the pith!

    I've never had funny, foreign, fruits.... loads on this page I've never had and even some not heard of before.

    I'd be up for trying a fruit, if I knew what I was doing (which bits to eat, which not, how) - and if somebody were passing me just a slice to try. There's no way I'd buy something new in a shop to try.... I'd never know if I was doing it right or if it was a good one.

    That's the one.:D
    cling film sounds a bit ruder, more intimate though, don't you think?.

    Absolutely:D. Saran wrap just doesn't do it justice. Unless of course a Saran is something equally saucy.

    And one for George Bush:
    Comment ca veut dir en anglaise "entrepreneur"?

    Apologies to francophiles, I can't do accents no matter how many times I'm shown.

    Unless we've got the verbal abilities of Stephen Fry though I think we all struggle for the right word sometimes. Come si dice in italiano "trading estate"?

    Trust me, you're not turning into George Bush!!! Sorry if I inferred that. I can't stand George Bush jr. His dad was ok, but whenever I see Jr he always seems a bit, how can I put it, trigger happy. Like he's riding his adrenaline. Does that make sense? He has the mannerisms of someone who's got too much going through his head (which is bizarre really).

    Ok, so far tonight I've rubbished Nicki Minaj, Madonna and George Bush. Perhaps I should go to bed now before I get on to anyone else famous.
