Title: Bergamot
Post by: Old Daffodil on December 22, 2009, 13:31:02 PM

We were buying fruit in Koycegiz today and there were Bergamot on the stall. I have never seen one before, it looks like a very large bumpy skinned grapefruit, more elongated in shape though. Anyone know what you do with a Bergamot? :)

Bergamot flavoured black tea is very nice.

I wonder what Bergamot marmalade tastes like. I drink Earl Grey which has it in and enjoy that. It is a strange looking fruit.
