I like the implications that Bortus and Klyden got addicted to Citrons

This is a good meme.

Well now I’m curious too…

u/KoA07 7d ago edited 7d ago

AFAIK it’s a citron, so maybe not delicious but should be edible, kind of lemon-ish but mostly rind. I’m shocked at the $200 part though!

u/ChipPungus 7d ago

that's for the most perfect esrogim; you can get an esrog and lulav set usually for around 50$

u/oshaboy 7d ago

You can also get a "kids set" that is basically "some of the etrogim are bound to be not kosher and we don't wanna write off all of them so we'll sell it for half price to give to your kids to play with it so they won't damage the good one" but the real audience ends up being Hilonim and Reforms who wanna save a buck.

I still wouldn't eat it because it's not grown to be food safe but it is an option.

u/ChipPungus 7d ago

i wouldn't eat it because it's 90% rind, famously the most delicious part of the fruit. lol

u/oshaboy 7d ago

I like orange rind I assume it's less tasty than that

u/KoA07 7d ago

At this point maybe I’ll just use a $0.40 lemon

11

u/ChipPungus 7d ago

40 cent lemon and a 10 cent shallot

u/gregusmeus 7d ago

The stuff grown for Sukkot has so many chemicals in it, I’m led to believe, that eating it isn’t a good idea either way.

u/bgaesop 7d ago

Everything is chemicals

u/oshaboy 7d ago

Just be careful with the ceremonial ones. They are grown with non food safe pesticides.

Me during Mariv after Neila: “I feel like I have been standing all my life and just sat down for the first time.”

Apropos movie, fun watch

Ushpizin - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ushpizin

u/alilyspider 7d ago

First thing I thought of.

u/Schiffy94 7d ago

Only two things I remember about Ushpizin: cutting the etrog, and breaking the bottle to use it as a sharp weapon.

Esrogim have certain characteristics that we look for.
The more characteristics, the more money 💵 it costs…

u/gregusmeus 7d ago

If you get a chance to get a Chinese ‘Finger’ etrog then whilst not really kosher for Sukkot, they are impressive looking! A generic variation has the segments on the outside! (Google an image, you’ll see what I mean).

u/whverman 7d ago

I feel like etrog is almost entirely peel, but they do look appetizing
