Meet the Ugli Fruit, a Jamaican cross between a tangerine and a pomelo. I discovered this on my most recent visit to California for the 2008 TIBCO User Conference. A resourceful event organizer somehwere arranged for these to be included in the catered fruit bowls.
As the name suggests, the fruit really is ugly; the photo above is a flattering “studio shot”.
I was hesitant at first, but as usual my curiosity got the better of me. The Ugli Fruit tastes delicious: peels easily, sweet like a tangerine, low acidity, and most importantly, seedless. 
The first was followed quickly by a few others, and then I started surrepitously collecting yet more to form a small stockpile for later consumption.
Sadly, the caterers no longer had Ugli Fruit by the next day – no, it wasn’t all due to me!
