What *are* they?

There is a fruit that is sold in Israel called Pamella. You'll

understand why in just a moment.

 

It is a citrus fruit, somewhat larger than a grapefruit (nudge,

nudge, hint, hint). It has a bright green pitted skin underneath

which is quite a bit of pith.

 

After peeling that away, we're left with a fruit that looks just like

a grapefruit (there are white and red varieties) but is much sweeter

and milder in flavor, if a bit less juicy.

 

Any one know what the Pamella is called in English?

 

There is another fruit that I've been trying to find the English name

for. It's the most incredible fruit I've ever seen.

 

The largest ones get almost grapefruit-sized, but I've seen them

about the size of baseballs. It has a hot pink smooth skin with

brilliant, acid-green leaf-like extensions on it (no I didn't take

any " acid " in order to be able to see this thing). The skin peels

away easily and completely to reveal an almost tasteless, but juicy

white-fleshed fruit studded with small, edible, black seeds.
