It might be a mandarinquat or orangequat (both are hybrids between a 
mandarin/tangerine and a kumquat. I've seen a 'Nippon' and an 'Indio' 
variety. They're great. The interior of a ripe one tastes like a slightly 
tart but sweet mandarin and the peel is sweet like a kumquat. They look 
exactly like kumquats on steroids.

It looked exactly like a gigantic kumquat, but I think it was too  
large to be one, unless they've gone the strawberry route.  :-)

thanks,
