It's a teeny tiny itty bitty citrus party with an episode dedicated to a cheery fruit that, in Cantonese, means "golden orange": the kumquat!
The kumquat is a fruit brilliant in color, slightly egg shaped and - in my mind - just like inside out baby oranges: sweet on the outside and fiercely tart on the inside.
We've got some kumquat 101 knowledge to drop with great recipes (both vintage and modern) and a couple of SUPER weird kumquat-related tidbits for you. There's nothing like a good ingredient spotlight to fill your ears with - the saucy NSFW twist at the end is just the cherry on top.
That's all here on Recipe Listen.

Aunt Jenny's Sexist Pie Recipes
Should delicious pie be gender-specific? Does the patriarchy thrive beneath layers of berries and lattice crust? Well, if you're a faux mid-century food influencer named Aunt Jenny, the answer might be a resounding yes.
In this episode, we're serving up relaxing pie recipe reads with a little side of quirky food history brought to us through a cookbook found in the public domain entitled "12 Pies Husbands Like Best". Let's buck the system and kick back together with some soothing recipe reads from a slice of culinary ephemera and the knowledge that no matter who you are—husband or not—you deserve the biggest piece of pie ever.
