Ah OK. I was going to say, they look like lemons to me (the shape vaguely reminded me of them) but I have never seen orange coloured lemons!!!

No, mandarines are round, these seem more elongated.

Just discovered, they are likely to be kumquats.

“Kumquats are small, orange-coloured citrus fruits with a sweet skin and tart flesh. They are also called dwarf oranges or dwarf bitter orange.”
That’s what Google says. But you could be right.

Yes it does. It certainly adds colour to its surroundings. Not sure I have ever tasted a kumquat so I might have to try one, one day.

I had them in a sweet sour sauce with a steak in a restaurant once and they tasted very good. Fruity, a bit bitter, a little bit spicy like pepper…
