My company cafeteria often has displays of food lying around that aren't
really there to be eaten, just to look at. This week they had an
ornamental basket of a citrus fruit i've never seen, and I wonder if the
smart people here can identify it.

It was about the size of a mandarine, or a little smaller, orange, and
roughly tear-drop shaped, or maybe a little pear shaped. At any rate, it
had a plump round and and a narrower pointy end, and was considerably
longer than it was round. Otherwise, the shape was regular and the skin
seemed smooth. I didn't try to buy one (although in retrospect, I wonder
if I could have) so I don't now how it tastes or how seedy it is.
