Rio Star Grapefruit, from South Texas, are absolutely amazing. They are extraordinarily sweet and no part of the fruit is bitter. Basically with fruit, if it smells good, it tastes good…

I like the red/pink grapefruit best, and I use SALT (not sweeteners of any type) as a flavoring aid. Yummy! Like a margarita without the booze might taste

Nick – sorry, I have no idea for Chicago… I’m in L.A. But maybe a Cheap Eats reader will answer?

When and, more importantly, where can I buy loquats in the Chicagoland area?

I have a really cheap grapefruit knife. Ordinarily I don’t like a one-use tool, but it sure does the job. Don’t pay a lot for the knife, just grab one when you see a cheap one sometime. Brown sugar on top makes all the difference. No need to broil- I can’t figure hot grapefruit- the brown sugar will dissolve and look caramelized anyway. Also try brown sugar on top of cooked pudding while it’s still warm – “flan” without effort. Add a drop of almond extract to vanilla pudding mix, top with brown sugar – excellent.

peggasus – that’s very interesting! So basically i had the gene all along, but i was overcoming it by some psychological factor until more recently? I know alton brown said a few times on Good Eats he doesn’t care for it which surprised me. hm… i think that may call for an upcoming post on Cilantro. The othe day my wife saw it on sale at 10 bunches for a dollar at a local mexican market…
