Trying honey pomelo 🫢

Elsie LMC

Hi everyone! 💗 So after my last post where I tried raw fish, prawns and bok choy for the very first time I figured I was on a roll and would try something else, enter the room: honey pomelo 🤣. This was a mistake purchase that I didn’t check my facts before buying as I got it for my mum but I thought to Google in the car on the way home and saw that she couldn’t actually have it (its not good for kidney problems) so it was down to the rest of us….and then no one else wanted any so I had to go it alone 🥲 but I’m a brave soldier! 🤣

They were from the asian shop in Dublin that I visited in this post and it took me a good few weeks to get round to trying it as I kept forgetting until it was bedtime and by then I didn’t want to be eating it but I got there in the end and this blog post was born! 🥚 Here’s what the honey pomelo looks like inside:

It doesnt look like there’s a lot of flesh…okay thats a disgusting word, I sound like a zombie 🤣. One things for sure tho, they smell delicious. Like a very strong orange with a hint of sugary sweetness. I was intrigued to take a bite and……..

It tasted like the wine gum sweets that always get left behind 🙈🤣. I had such high hopes for honey pomelos as I’d originally seen youtubers buy them which was why I’d jumped on the chance to get them for my mum as we watch cooking channels together but I was disappointed 💔…okay that emoji is dramatic but thats the vibe I’m going for so roll with it…and commence….I was REALLY disappointed 🤣.

Nah, it was no biggy but a shame as we have 3 leftover now. Maybe I’ll try cook them into something, like a pomelo crumble? 🤔 Yeah, I think I’ll go through some recipes and see what I can come up with. You never know, maybe it’ll change my perception of them and I could share a post here one day saying they’re my favourite…..okay, let’s not get ahead of ourselves here 😅 kiwis for the win 🤣🥝.

Have you tried honey pomelos before? What’s your favourite fruit? Questions, questions, questions 🤣.

I’ve gotta go now but I hope this post made you feel some kinda way! Like maybe a laugh or two?….please? 🫣🤣 I’ll see you again next week but until then, I hope you have a great day/night and remember: when life gives you honey pomelos, make a wicked dessert out of them!! 😁 Stay safe, take care and buh-bye!

      6. I like Drink Me Chai’s vanilla powder, its delicious when hot or cold (I tend to make cold as is faster tho 🤣). Ooh you have loads of options, is that in America? Here in Ireland you can only buy plain in a cafe unless you purchase the powder and make yourself but I’ve learnt what places have the nicest powders so was very trial and error to begin with but would 100% recommend giving a go. Your life will be forever changed! ✨️🤣

  2. I don’t remember trying honey pomelo, unless it’s the same as honey melon. If it is, I do not like it. My favorite fruit is clementines, small mandarines and other names for those small orange citrus fruits.

  4. I’ve tried honey pomelos and like them although I wouldn’t say they’re my favourite. My favourite fruit is always oranges, I don’t like a lot of fruits but I could eat oranges daily 🍊
