Mine are oval and they are very sour but do have a sweet skin. When I was a kid I use to eat the peel and leave the fruit. I have such fond memories of them that I bought one a few years ago and put it in a small orange pot. I now just go out and pop them in my mouth when they are ripe, and do eat the whole fruit not just the skin.

I've never eaten kumquats. They are sold in tiny little punnets here and are outrageously expensive. I've just looked them up on wikipedia and am intrigued. Do you get the round ones or the oval ones, and are they sweet skinned with a sour middle?
