Buddha's hand citron

"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." -- William Shakespeare

This seems to apply to the grocery store as well.

I had thought I was well read, experienced, maybe even jaded. I thought the produce section had no real surprises left for me. Then I found a fruit that reminded me of nightmares I've had.

The Buddha's Hand Citron aka: Buddha's Hand, Fingered Citron. Like nothing I've even seen in real 3D space. Smells and feels a lot like a lemon, looks like Cthulhu. It's something I'd consider trying but didn't feel like spending $7 for one piece of fruit though.

This world is getting stranger...
