I don't understand. I go to store to ask for kumquat and they all laugh at me. Why kumquat so funny?

Making a lovely recipe of carmelized kumquat with balsamic sauce over ice cream. But teenagers at store laugh and don't help.

Because the teenagers are not smart.





Kumquats are tiny citrus fruits, so ask the people working in the produce area. Or a store manager.
Reply:Think about it,it is a funny word.They could laugh and then wait on you though.
Reply:It is an odd word I guess. They are found in the produce department by the citrus fruits. They look like tiny oranges - about an inch or so across. They are very tart and you eat the whole thing - peel and all.

Reply:You are probably shopping at the wrong store. Go to a larger fruit market or a higher end grocery store such as Whole Foods Market (if you have one near you).





If you don't want to ask for fear of laughter, usually Kumquats are kept with other citrus fruits or in an exotic fruit section of the produce area.





Good Luck!
