Stand up for Kumquats!

I have to wholeheartedly disagree with Hoye's unnecessarily negative rant against kumquats.

I like dried kumquats.

To me they taste like a happy combination of the flavours of tamarind and christmas spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice).

Maybe they are something you have to learn to like as a teenager, like durian.

So all I can say is: keep your mind (and your mouth!) open, and you might find you like dried kumquats too.
