So, not to sound crass - but - how do we know the money/aid will be getting to the victims of the Haitian quake? Or will this just be another case of the "have a littles" (this is you and me) filling the pockets of the "haves" (those in charge of where funds go) instead of helping the "have nots" (the victims)?

Otherwise they can be very sour! You can either remove the fuzzy skins or eat them -- but make sure you remove the sharp thorn from the inside base or navel. It's very easy to get cut on that! Thanks for posting this and I hope your readers have plenty of other alternatives to suggest (like black currants, which are used widely in Europe).
