What Is This?!


Walking down the street yesterday I came across a strange fruit! It's about the size of a kumquat, but it's round like a satsuma! It's the tartest fruit I've ever put in my mouth (in a good way)! It has seven very defined segments--and two seeds. The skin is thin and easy to peel, but it's not as edible as the kumquat skins I'm familiar with... any ideas? 

Maybe it's just a weird variety of kumquat.

A friend in Hawaii suggested it may be a calamansi. But this would be an over ripe one, as it's already orange. He also said that calamansis aren't tart...
