Do you like an after dinner mint and coffee or liqueur and coffee after dinner .... or all three?

I always want a Middle-Eastern pastry or a candied kumquat or something comforting like that. I also like Indian supari - that stuff is great, and so is an Indian sweet paan.





Q #2: Do you like having an aperitif before dinner. I do - sort of - especially a Dubonnet Rouge, but I am afraid of having too much alcohol, and prefer to settle for a Turkish coffee.








And you? Have you any favorite drinks and little snacks for before and after dinner?

i like an Irish Coffee after a meal out xxx
Reply:A black coffee with 50ml of De Kuyper creme de menthe and a bendicks mint choc followed by another black coffee with 50ml of Marie Brizzard triple sec and a terrys chocolate orange followed by another black coffee with 50ml of frangelico and a ferreo rocher. Then start drinking. Before dinner 100ml of amontillado sherry with mini papadums.

Does the word cumquat bother you as much as it bothers me?

kumquats or cumquats are a group of small fruit-bearing trees in the subgenus Fortunella of the genus Citrus in the flowering plant family Rutaceae, often segregated as a separate genus Fortunella. The edible fruit (which is also called kumquat) closely resembles that of other Citrus but is smaller.

Can anyone help me identify a fruit tree growing in my yard?

Looks kind of like a kumquat, but skin is smooth (not like that of an orange), and the "pit" or "seed" almost takes up the entire inside, very little flesh for eating and the seed's skin is smooth, brown, shiny...kind of like what a buckeye looks like. I have been told it is type of Japanese plum, but from my research, it's too small. Pictures of cross cuts of a kumquat also doesn't fit. Anyone in florida with this type of tree....if you know what it is, please help.

Can anyone help me identify a fruit tree growing in my yard?
please check www.thefruitbook.com





go to album and look the picture. If it has one seed may be kind of plum. Orange and small means i can think of loquat


but it has multiple seeds. or may be longan (FLESH LOOK LIKE JELLY SIMILAR TO LITCHI AND GROW IN CLUSTERS)


Still worth to check www.thefruitbook.com and check for album.

I need help choosing paint colors for my living room? Would you please help me?

My living room is too bright right now. This past summer I decided to paint it white with a little hint of blue. ICK! My husband and I both agree that we are not happy with the outcome. It's just not warm and inviting like we had hoped. It's weird but I totally understand how color can affect your mood. We are just not happy when we are in this room. We are installing new wood floors in a few weeks and we would like to repaint before we put our new floors down. The floor color is called Tigerwood or Tiger wood if you would like to google it for an image. I really like Behr paint so I would like to use that brand. I like the color "Pumkin Butter" and I kind of like "Kumquat" but Kumquat may be too bright. I really love fall colors. We have a chair rail around the room so I can use one color on the top and a different one on the bottom. Our trim, light fixtures, picture frames and mantel are white. Our ceiling is long and white but only 8ft tall. It can be painted too. Any ideas????????

I need help choosing paint colors for my living room? Would you please help me?
I *love* the colors that you mentioned! And the two of them together look gorgeous. If you're worried about the kumquat being too bright, then put it below the chair rail.





I was playing with the Behr "explore color" tool, and it suggested a couple of complimentary colors that would work with the other two shades, if you want to check them out:





"Vanilla Delight" you could use on the ceiling. It's more of a creamy color, so it should help warm up the space.





Also, "wild grass" (an olive green), "sweet apricot," "sandpoint" or "chili pepper" would look great with either/both colors.





Good luck!
Reply:That icy blue/white can make you feel like your living in a glacier!


I love the Behr selection too, have used Behr colors in several jobs. I think with your choice of flooring, the color "Tiny Fawn" would look great. its warm and has just a hint of orange in it. check it out its # 240F-4
Reply:I attended a mini class about decorating and the designer made an interesting point. Consider the natural light in your room. Natural light changes thtoughout the day and affects the color as it changes.


Are the windows facing north, south, east or west?


Eastern light will make the room bright in the morning.


Western light makes it bright in the afternoon.


Painting either of these rooms with a bright color results in the room glowing when the sunlight is intense.


Northern and southern lighting are pretty much consistent throughout the day. Northern light tends to be alittle more gray so you might want a warmer color.





Those factors considered, here's my little trick for picking paint colors. Forget those teeny tiny paint chips at the Behr counter. Check to see if they have a sample jar of the color you like or buy a quart of it if they don't. Get some posterboard. Paint the posterboard with the paint. If you have more than one color chosen, paint each color on a separate sheet of posterboard. Now, tape these nice large color swatches to your walls with painter's tape. Look at the colors in different light. You can move the swatches to darker parts of the room to see how it looks. You can compare the swatches to your sofa, rugs, drapes, etc by holding them up against the textiles. It's a more true representation of the color than the chips. Once you've picked your color you can buy it and know that you won't be in tears once it's in the room :) ( been there! )
Reply:I'd check out marthstewartliving.com
Reply:Try out the various color visualizers on the web. You will find a few listed here: http://www.paintinganddecoratingconcours...


Pick a room that is similar to yours and do a virtual painting of the room first before doing the real painting.
Reply:You can order samples of paint from the Behr site or purchase them from your hardware store. That way you can test them on the walls to see how they will look. Remember paint finish and room light will also affect how your paint will look in the room when finally dry.

Which type of citrus is this? Small, very sweet, slightly oblong or pear shaped, creamy inside?

Its smaller than an egg, nice orange rind, very thin. I didnt try to eat the rind, but it didnt seem to smell bitter. The inside is pale orange and very sweet tasting with creamy flesh. I didnt notice any of the normal sacs of pulp that you normally get in oranges and lemons, it just seemed creamy to me.





We had one come in at our nursery with no tag, luckily it had some ripe fruit and man it was delicious!!!! Just trying to figure out what it could be.





My best guess is Meiwa Kumquat. I guess those are supposed to be sweet kumquats, but Ive never had one so I dont know. Someone else mentioned calamondins, but I thought those were sour.





Your best guess?????????

Which type of citrus is this? Small, very sweet, slightly oblong or pear shaped, creamy inside?
You are probably correct. But eat the skin! That is the best part. I have 3 of the sweet kumquat trees. They are slow growers compared w/ lemons. They also bloom a little later then lemons.





I think that calamndins are sour.
Reply:Sounds exactly like a komquat. That's my guess
Reply:Did it have seeds? Or a pit? What did the leaves look like? I have never heard of a creamy citrus fruit!! :) Could it be a loquat? Look at this http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/plant/Loqu...


Creamy middle, orange skin, about the size of a kumquat, but those look more like oranges inside.....hmmmm.the quandry...

Atheists: Can you construct a logical proof that kumquats exist?

Why or why not?

Atheists: Can you construct a logical proof that kumquats exist?
Doubtful. Only in mathematics can you prove anything.
Reply:The existence of kumquats is an empirical question, thus, empirical proof is relevant. I ignored the phrase "logical proof" as it was ambiguous: if you meant "proof using only logic" then your question was absurd, if you meant "logically strong proof" then the word 'logical' was unnecessary. Report It

Reply:Still wondering what your point was. Report It

Reply:No. Objects are not what we tend to think they are. Our perceptions are fallible. Some things are subject to logic, like God can't be omniscient and surprised.
Reply:They are tactile, unlike God, therefore easily proved through empirical data. Further, they can be percieved by olfactory sences, tasted by the tastebuds, and digested.

K=1
Reply:I have eaten a kumquat. Ergo, a kumquat exists.
Reply:I don't have to because I don't care whether you believe in them or not! ( I have no need, benefit or mandate to convert you!)
Reply:O. K. so there is empirical proof that a kumquat exists.





What else do you need to prove the kumquats existence?





Why do you need logical proof if there is empirical proof?





It is established that kumquats exist.





There is no evidence that god(s) exist. You can talk yourself into anything existing. Just because it exists in you mind, does not make it a fact in reality.





At least give us something that's not detectable by the five senses. You know, like god(s).





Now your turn, what's your empirical or logical evidence for god(s)?





You might find the following interesting...





Did the complexity of life arise spontaneously, or did it require a creator?





Christians believe that a creator is essential. Scientists believe that the idea of a "creator" is pure mythology, and that the complexity arose through natural processes like evolution. Who is right?





You can actually answer this question yourself with a little logic. Here are the two options:





1. The complexity of life and the universe did arise completely spontaneously and without any intelligence. Nature created all the complexity we see today.





2. An intelligent creator created all of the complexity that we see today because complexity requires intelligence to create it.





The advantage of the first option is that it is self-contained. The complexity arose spontaneously. No other explanation is required.





The problem with the second option is that it immediately creates an impossibility. If complexity cannot arise without intelligence, then we immediately must ask, "Who created the intelligent creator?" The creator could not spring into existence if complexity requires intelligence. Therefore, God is impossible.





In other words, by applying logic, we can prove that God is imaginary.

Go to the supermarket. Find the little green fruit with the label "kumquat". Buy it, eat it, proven.
Reply:Yes. I have eaten one.
Reply:who tha hell is that
Reply:Partially from another's argument for the existence of something:





Kumquats exist because I exist and because I have a kumquat sitting in front of me that I can perceive and differentiate from other objects that are dissimilar from the kumquat.





This is based on the assumption that I exist. If you want to debate that, we have to go into the definition of existence. Because we define existence based on ourselves and our own perception, then I have to say that I exist.
Reply:YES ITS CALLED BIOLOGY ...scientists all agree to classify anything that shares certain characteristics a certain way... if a plant has those particular characteristics it is a kumquat. I can hold one .I can eat one. I can feel it. I can smell it to verify it actually exists. Gods,angels,demons, unicorns,aliens,ghosts etc also have a set of criteria to classify them ...however i have been unable to actually touch,smell,taste,run dna...etc to verify that they exist
Reply:Embrace the love of the kumquat, have faith in the kumquat's existence, and the kumquat will reveal itself to you in the fullness of time.





I love saying "kumquat."
Reply:One doesn't really need a logical proof to prove that kumquats exist. You need only visit the produce section of a local grocery store; you can touch it, taste it, smell it, see it and through reason come to the conclusion that it exists.
Reply:I see them, I touch them, I smell them, I taste them and that is all the proof I need. Why would someone who believes in god, who you can't see, need proof in something you can see?
Reply:if you are to not believe that something in front of you exists then how are you to believe that a being outside of this plane of existance is real.
Reply:YES!
Reply:What kind of logical proof would you like? If you subscribe to the Rene Descartes school of thought, then the answer is no, and beyond that in that school of thought I can't prove that you exist either. I can only know that I exist. However, logically, if you can pick it up, eat it, give it to someone else, etc... it exists. If you are an Existentialist, your line of thought might be something like this, did I will myself to pick up the kumquat, or did the kumquat will me to pick it up. As it is a physical object they would not argue its existence. If you read alot of Wittgenstein, you may want to gather all of your friends and see if they agree that the kumquat exists, as reality bends to the consensus of those observing it. I hope that helps.
Reply:Does someone doubt the existence of kumquats? If so, I would find one, or a photo of one and explain that that's what it is. If the person doubted that 'kumquat' was a word, I would show them a dictionary.





Your point would be.......?
Reply:I am not an atheist, but there is no proof, it is simply a fact. Any efforts to prove it are a waste of time and in fact diminish the fact of a kumquats existence.

Fortunella margarita ( like all Citrus-plants ), if propagated from seeds without grafting needs 8-10, sometimes up to 15 years to flower and fruit.


It prefers loose soil with pH 6,1 to 6,5, needs soft water ( rain water ), hates over-watering or to stand in water, needs sun in summer and winter ( not less than 700 Lux ), but not more than about 4 to 8 degrees Celsius in winter.


It doesn`t tolerate draft.


Might be the best, to ask the people in that garden centre, how to graft them and if there is a special fertilizer available, which brings them to flower.


Or to have patience some years longer.


Hope, you understand my bad English and wish you good luck!

Who thinks singer Michael Jackson needs a testicle lynching or his kumquats stepped on?

You can bet he is molesting over there. I wonder if that is what caused the fallout between the Prince of Bahrain and him.





I am more concerned for MJ's oldest son who is about the age now that Michael likes to start molesting. How better to get away with it than to molest your own? By the time his oldest loses his appeal to Michael, the other boy will be old enough to pick up the slack. Should keep MJ out of trouble for a total of 12 years (ages 8 to 14 for each son).

Kumquats are a type of small citrus fruit and should only be offered ocasionally as with all citrus fruit.


Sweet citrus like clementines and tangerines are also great for them but never lemons or limes.

Let this Brain Teaser Tease your brain?

Frankies Fruit Market is having an unusual sale. He is allowing fruit retailers to come in and buy his fruit with their own.


Here are his prices:





4 mangoes=3 kumquats


3 persimmons=2 bananas


7 gooseberrries=1 lime


1 persimmon=1 apple


14 gooseberries=1 banana





1. Sam comes to spend 15 kumquats. How ,amy mangoes can he buy?





2. Suppose Sam decides to buy an equal number of apples and persimmons with his 15 kumquats. How many of each can he buy?





3. Sally has 100 gooseberries and wants to buy a combination of at least 3 different fruits. List a possible choice. ( she may have left over gooseberries)





4. Andy has 20 bananas. How many limes can he buy? How many mangoes can he buy?





5. Georgia has 30 kumquats. how many persimmons can she buy?





6. An apple and a persimmon are obviously worth the same. Which fruits are worth more than these two?


Which fruits are worth less than these two?





7. Let p=persimmon, a=apple, m=mango, k=kumquat, b=banana, g=gooseberry, and l=lime. Write a simple algebraic equations to show how many p each of the other fruits equal. For example, you would write 1p=1a. Now write statements for each of the other fruits.

Let this Brain Teaser Tease your brain?
Do I need to show my work??? lol





1) 15/3 = 5 purchase x 4 per purcahse = !!!!20 mangos!!!!





2) He cant, there is no way he can exchange his kumquats for apples or persimmons.





3) 4 bannanas, 3 persimmons, 1 lime, 9 gooseberrises left over





4) 20 x14 = 280/7 = !!!!!40 limes!!!!!!


And he cant buy any mangoes because there is no method of


exchange he can pursue.





5) She cant buy any, because there is no method of


exchange she can use.





6) Worth more; bannanas (3p = 2b)


Worth less; gooseberries (3p = 28gb), and limes (3p = 4L)





7) Cool did this a little in the last one


(n = unknown conversion coefficent)





3p = 2b


3p = 28g


3p = 4L


1p = 1a


1p = Nm


1p = Nk

Throw the moldy ones away and inspect the others. If you find that you have more moldy than fresh, take them back and get a replacement or a refund.
Reply:throw them away.....those not moldy ones if you still want to eat them....waste them really good before eating .....
Reply:Take them back to the store and demand a refund. It's probably safe to eat the non-moldy ones if washed in soap and water, but I'd still make the store absorb that cost, and get a new container w/ them ALL fresh.
Reply:Kumquats are like oranges, except you eat the peel too. I wouldn't risk it - they harbor some bad bacteria, along with penicillium. You should NEVER store kumquats in anything. I am horrified that they were being sold in package. THey need air and space, or they will mold very quickly. Also, do not put in refrigerator. I would return them to the store and find one that knows how to package it's produce.
Reply:It might sound silly but return them to the store...they are required to take them back with your receipt and give you a whole fresh pint! You'll get what you paid for and not risk getting sick!

kumquats, rose hips, unripe cherry tomatoes all come to mind, but I haven't had any luck finding them in stores or on the web.


Any leads would be appreciated thank you.

If there is a really good bakery in your area, one that makes custom cakes, etc. They may be able to make up a batch using marzipan. Hey- maybe you could read up on marzipan and make your own!!





Oh yes- another idea is to use modeling paste/clay like Sculpy. You can get it colors, and even blend colors. A few minutes in moderate oven bakes it.


Try Googling Sculpy.

What would you use kumquats for?

For throwing at the neighbours kids when they're causing trouble!





They taste disgusting!

What would you use kumquats for?
Kumquats are frequently eaten raw. As the rind is sweet and the juicy center is sour, the raw fruit is usually consumed either whole, to savour the contrast, or only the rind is eaten. The fruit is considered ripe when it reaches a yellowish-orange stage, and has just shed the last tint of green. The Hong Kong Kumquat has a rather sweet rind compared to the rinds of other citrus fruits.





Culinary uses include: candying and kumquat preserves, marmalade, and jelly. Kumquats appear more commonly in the modern market as a martini garnish, replacing the classic olive. They can also be sliced and added to salads. A liqueur can also be made by macerating kumquats in vodka or other clear spirit.





The Cantonese often preserve kumquats in salt or sugar. A batch of the fruit is buried in dry salt inside a glass jar. Over time, all the juice from the fruit is extracted through dehydration into the salt. The fruit in the jar becomes shrunken, wrinkled, and dark brown in color, and the salt combines with the juice to become a dark brown brine. A few salted kumquats with a few teaspoons of the brine/juice may be mixed with hot water to make a remedy for sore throats. A jar of such preserved kumquats can last several years and still keep taste.[citation needed]





In Taiwan, kumquats are a popular addition to both hot and iced tea.





In Vietnam, kumquat bonsai trees are used as a decoration for the Tết (New Year) holiday.





Variants of the kumquat are grown specially in India

Can youmake wine from kumquats anyone have a recipe?

Kumquat Wine


2-1/2 lbs kumquats


2-1/2 lbs ripe bananas


3-1/3 lbs granulated sugar


1 tsp pectic enzyme


1 tsp yeast nutrient


1/8 tsp tannin


7 qts water


Lalvin AC or 71B-1122 wine yeast


The bananas should be very ripe. Slice the bananas, peels and all, into 1/2-inch slices in a 3-qt pot. Add half the water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove scum from surface and set aside to cool some. Put remaining water in another pot and bring to boil. Stir in sugar until dissolved. Meanwhile, cut kumquats in half crosswise and put in nylon straining bag, removing any seeds cut during halving. Save juice released during cutting and put in primary. Tie bag and squeeze in primary to release as much juice as you can. Leave bag in primary and pour sugar-water over it. Strain bananas through nylon sieve, adding the water to primary. When cool, add pectic enzyme, yeast nutrient and tannin and stir to dissolve. Cover primary and wait 12 hours. Add activated yeast and recover. Squeeze bag twice daily for 5 days. Remove bag and squeeze well, adding drained juice to primary. Recover and set aside 5 additional days. Rack into sterilized secondary and fit airlock. Rack after 60 days, top up and refit airlock. Rack again after additional 60 days, stabilize, sweeten to taste, top up and refit airlock. After 10 days, rack into bottles and allow to age 6-12 months. Will continue mellowing with additional aging.

Reply:Yes so long as the kumquats have to have a high enough sugar content. You should check their sugar content first. If it comes close to the sugar content of cherries or apples, you're set. Then you can fermet them just as you would apples or pears to make a fruit wine.

Reply:Kumquats In Brown Sugar %26amp; Vanilla Bean Syru Directions


By cooking kumquats down with sugar and vanilla, the


bitterness is removed from the rind and they become a


tantalizing garnish or topping for sweet or savory


dishes.





Place the kumquats in a large saucepan and add water


to cover. Bring to a full boil and, when foam begins


to form on the surface, reduce the heat to medium.


Continue to cook for 10 min more. Drain the kumquats


and set aside.





In the same saucepan over a high heat, bring the water


to a gentle boil. Add the sugars, reduce the heat to


medium, and stir constantly until the sugars have


dissolved, about 3 min. Add the kumquats and vanilla


bean and bring to a full boil. Reduce the heat to low


and cook uncovered, stirring occasionally until the


kumquats are transparent and soft, about 1 hour. Many


of the kumquats will have burst and their skins will


appear transparent.





Spoon the kumquats and syrup into a clean jar, let


cool, cover, and refrigerate. They will keep,


refrigerated, for up to 2 weeks.

U must try them for urself though, don't just take my word for it. I know some people who just eat them like they r oranges or mandarines. If u like a sour citrus fruit then u'll like kumquats.

What are kumquats?

Kumquats are small, oval citrus fruits. They are usually between one to two inches long and have leathery orange or yellow skin. The fruit has a sweet outer skin and a tart inner flesh. The fruit can be eaten whole or some people prefer eating only the skin.





Kumquats are similar in appearance to other citrus fruits except kumquats are much smaller. The picture to the left compares kumquats to an orange.

Can anyone give me a logical argument asserting that kumquats exist?

Yeah, just need to know for sure that kumquats exists and how I can know that.

Can anyone give me a logical argument asserting that kumquats exist?
The existence or non-existence of kumquats is identical to the existence or non-existence of anything.





Let's begin with an assumption. Cogito ergo sum. I posit that I exist. I point to something else that I perceive to be separate from me. I touch it. I see it. I smell it. It is perceived by me to exist. Since it is differentiable from other objects, I can name it as a way of recognizing that difference. Somewhere along the line of naming differentiable objects, I choose to call one of them a kumquat.





So, independent of anyone else, I am convinced that kumquats exist because I have seen one and I have named it.





Now, how do I know that what I call a kumquat and what you call a kumquat are the same thing? I don't care. I know that kumquats exist because I exist and because I have a kumquat sitting in front of me that I can perceive and differentiate from other objects that are not kumquats.

What are KUMQUATS and what do they taste like?
it is citrus looks like small orangea or lemons


The actual fruit of the kumquat tastes horrible. It's much too sour to be considered a good snack. However, the skin of the kumquat is just moderately sour, and has a good citrus-y flavor.

Reply:The kumquat or cumquat is a small fruit-bearing tree in the genus Fortunella. Its fruit (which is also called "kumquat") closely resembles those of the related genus Citrus, and, like that genus, it is also classified in the flowering plant family Rutaceae.





It is a slow-growing, evergreen shrub or small tree, from 2.5-4.5 m tall, with dense branches, sometimes bearing small thorns. The leaves are dark glossy green, and the flowers pure white, similar to citrus flowers, borne singly or clustered in the leaf-axils.





Kumquats originated in China (they are noted in literature dating to the 12th century), and have long been cultivated there and in Japan. They were introduced to Europe in 1846 by Robert Fortune, collector for the London Horticultural Society, and shortly thereafter into North America. Originally placed in the genus Citrus, they were transferred to the genus Fortunella in 1915.





There are four species currently accepted, including Hong Kong Wild Kumquat (Fortunella hindsii), Marumi Kumquat (Fortunella japonica), Meiwa Kumquat (Fortunella crassifolia), and Nagami Kumquat (Fortunella margarita).





The kumquat may be crossed with other members of the Rutaceae family, most notably Citrus and trifoliate orange. Some examples of Citrofortunella hybrids are the limequat, orangequat, and calamondin.





In appearance the kumquat fruit (generally called simply "kumquat") resembles a miniature oval or oblong orange, 3-5 cm long and 2-4 cm wide. Depending on variety, peel color ranges from yellow to red. A Nagami kumquat has an oval shape, while a Marumi kumquat is round.





Kumquat fruit is generally in season from late November to February, and can be found in most food markets with other produce.





Kumquats are frequently eaten whole; the skin is sweet and the inner fruit tart. The juicy center is often too sour to eat; in this case it is thrown away after the rind is nibbled off and consumed. The fruit is considered ripe when it reaches a yellowish-orange stage, and has just shed the last tint of green. A variety of kumquat grown in Hong Kong has a rather sweet rind compared to the rinds of other citrus fruits.





Culinary uses include: candying and kumquat preserves, marmalade, and jelly. Kumquats appear more commonly in the modern market as a martini garnish, replacing the classic olive. They add a nice zest to a salad; just slice and toss them in. A liqueur can also be made by macerating kumquats in vodka or other clear spirit.





The Cantonese often preserve kumquats in salt. A batch of the fruit is buried in dry salt inside a glass jar. Over time, all the juice from the fruit is extracted through osmosis into the salt. The fruits in the jar become shrunken, wrinkled, and dark brown in color, and the salt combines with the juice to become a dark brown brine. A few salted kumquats with a few teaspoons of the brine/juice may be mixed with hot water to make a remedy for sore throats. A jar of such preserved kumquats can last several years.

Kumquat





Definition: [KUHM-kwaht] This pigmy of the citrus family looks like a tiny oval or round orange. It's cultivated in China, Japan and the United States. The edible golden orange rind is sweet, while the rather dry flesh is very tart. The entire fruit--skin and flesh--is eaten, and very ripe fruit can be sliced and served raw in salads or as a garnish. The kumquat is more likely to be found cooked, however, either candied or pickled whole or in preserves or marmalades. Fresh kumquats are available from November to March. Look for firm fruit without blemishes. Refrigerate wrapped in a plastic bag for up to a month. Kumquats contain good amounts of potassium and vitamins A and C.

Can anyone give me a logical argument that kumquats exist?
Assuming for the moment that you and I are in agreement about what, exactly, a kumquat is, that leaves only the question of whether any particular apparent manifestion of reality is really there. So let's take this from the top.





There is an objective agreement about kumquats. They are attributed certain qualities. You can personally experience those apparent qualities. That leaves only two options, really:





1) Your experiences and those are others are real.


2) Your experiences are false, and are somehow being manipulated or induced by some outside agency.





Given that we have no substantial evidence of some external kumquat conspiracy, and that a conspiratorial model is more complex that a non-conspiratorial one (the conspiracy requires not only all the complexities of our experiential world but also an extra, unpercieved world too), then Occam's razor would suggest that the simple model is true.





Thus kumquats exist because it requires a lot less explanation that kumquats NOT existing.
Reply:Kumquats do exist. have seen them w/ my own eyes and we have a tree in out neighbor's yard. It's a fruit also with a fuzzy exterior of which taste is so-so. It's a tropical fruit. My sis loves to eat them...me i'll pass just like lychee w/c tastes like onions.


Vidalia onions are good. though.
Reply:It's simple. "Kum" is from the Latin "***," meaning "with." And "quat" is equivalent to the Latin "qua," which means "what."





Therefore, a kumquat is a with-what – it is that which accompanies or adjoins.





No object exists in perfect isolation, so the "with-what" – the accompanying object as such – does and must exist.
Reply:I saw some kumquats last week.


therefore some kumquats exist.





Seeing is factive.


Existence is past/present/future.
Reply:I have a kunquat tree. It has kumquats on it. Kumquats are in season. You can eat a Kumquat, smell it, touch it, taste it. What is a Kunquat? It is that which you now seek to understand but as of yet haven't experienced. So if you eat one does that mean that kumquats exist or that one Kumquat existed? And if it existed do kumquats exist? I have a kumquat tree. It has kumquats on it. Kumquats are in season. You can eat a kumquat. Or not.

Are kumquats supposed to taste super sour?

Yes that is the joy of eating them..but as you chew the swet skin balances it out. Some are more sour than others. I asked a question a while ago about who liked kumquats because I love them. Someone sent me a recipe that boil them down into a syrupy mixture to top ice cream. If you want the recipe let me know I'll add it to my answer.

Not terribly. At least, I've never found them that sour. It also probably depends how ripe they are.

How should one eat kumquats?

I just bought a box of kumquats from trader joes, and I'd like to know if you're supposed to peel them or eat them whole.

How should one eat kumquats?
DELICIOUS!!! i know it is weird but you eat them with the skin on, which is practically whole but there are seeds the funny part is the skin is sweeter and tastes better than the inside

I LOVE THEM! I bite one in half and chew it up, then I sprinkle a tiny dash of salt on the other half sometimes.

I have some kumquat bushes that are sprouting some thorny limbs. Should these limbs be removed and when is the best time?

You can prune citrus anytime, but you may lose some fruit.

How do you prepare kumquats and are they good?

I've never had a kumquat before and I noticed them at the supermarket the other day.

How do you prepare kumquats and are they good?
Here's a couple of sites to look at.
Reply:Wash them because lots of people pick them up out of curiosity. Then, eat a small one. You'll either hate or love them. Or even better, slice into small slices, then try one. I think they're too tart for out-of-hand eating, so I make a simple sugar syrup (about 1 cup of water, 1/2 cup or less sugar), bring to a slow boil, then lower the heat, add the quats, then simmer for about 10-15 minutes. They'll turn translucent. Drain, cool and add to a fruit salad. Or on ice cream. Lotsa luck.
Reply:They are fine to eat skin and all..you can also make preserves with them..sort of like a marmalade..


A little tart..kind of like eating an entire orange in one bite..

Kumquats (Cumquats-British spelling) have been called "the little gold gems of the citrus family". The kumquat has a thin, sweet peel and a zesty, somewhat tart center. The kumquat tastes best if it is gently rolled between the fingers before being eaten, as this releases the essential oils in the rind. Eat kumquats as you would eat grapes (with the peel).





The kumquat's unique flavor lends itself as a pleasant addition to many food dishes, deserts, and salads. The kumquat can be candied or kabobed with other fruits or vegetables with meats, such as poultry, duck, pork or lamb. It is also a favorite for jelly, marmalade and chutney.





When picked with leaves, kumquats make great winter holiday decorations and make a superb garnish for entrees and drinks.

Reply:Kumquat no the word is as replusive as the fruit itself. I don't mind sweet potatoes but I prefer them only on holidays. However "politically" correct or not collard greens are awsome and I splurge sometimes at a local joint. I find it amusing that the idea of "collard greens" is associated with a racially specific stereotype. A news flash those of darker pigment then the "token jesus",of the North have been known to pass on collard greens. It's more a poor man thing then a "african american" thing. It was an inexpensive item in it's day and when a large populace of the south was of darker pigment and poor they cornered the market. This does not however make it a "black mans" field of expertise or preference. I like mine with bacon bits, heavy salt, a side of ribs and a history lesson. I am however " skin pigment challenged" but I do like the authenticity of this place owned by an Asain American and an African American.
