| 1. | pumelo | ||
|
A large fruit of the genus Citrus
(Citrus Grandis, to be exact). Pumelos are sacred to the Cult of the Deekoo, and used in several of their unspeakable rites. Pumelos are reminiscent of grapefruits in flavour, but sweeter, larger, and with thicker rinds. Some pumelos are green, others yellow. Rumour has it that other colours of pumelo exist. The pumelo is the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge in the Bible (see Jack Chick's publication, "El verdadero camino", available in English translation from deekoo.net shortly), and can be found near the Mountain. "In the dim, sputtering greenish glow,
she knelt and placed the pumelo upon the altar." |
