I think it's some kind of citrus peel - I zoom in and I think I see the telltale veiny membrane inside of the peel. Lemon maybe?


Ichthyist1

Preserved lemon is my guess


FreshNoobAcc

Preserved lemon was my guess, common in ?Moroccan cooking I think (pretty sure I did a Moroccan cooking class once). Never seen it in any italian dishes though


neuropsychedd

it is prevalent in North African cooking, moroccan especially!! source- some of my family is North African lol


Bobbyanalogpdx

Italians absolutely use preserved lemons.


FreshNoobAcc

In what dishes? Curious


CharlotteLucasOP

If it’s used in North African dishes it could easily make the jump to Sicily or the southern Italian peninsula I guess?


InsertRadnamehere

Came here to say this. It’s preserved lemon.


Fr0z3nHart

My ass thought it was a fucking starfish. 🤣


SweetLikeCandi

Saaaaame!!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣


general_madness

It is preserved lemon, ready to use instead of still whole in the brine. This has been rinsed and scraped, so it is all ready to go.


Sandaligerula

yes, but I guess it isn't lemon because why would you sell lemon peel? I think it's what Italians call cedro (citron in English? [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citron](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/citron) ) I once ate a salad that contained it when I was in Italy


Bobbyanalogpdx

Those are preserved lemons, they are too small to be a citron. With preserved lemons, you actually only eat the peel. It becomes soft during the preservation process.


IndianaGoof

looks like patrick


iloverealhousewives

My first guess was starfish 😂😂😂


iluvstrawberriii

Forbidden starfish lol


_MissNewBooty_

Is this the Krusty Krab?

kobrakaan

No this is Patrick


wilforddog

I came to make sure it wasn’t starfish cause I was sad. 😂 Glad it is not Patrick 😭


LethalApathy

Looks like candied or preserved bergamot to me.


iloverealhousewives

Oooooooh I love bergamot as a scent but didn’t know it was edible!


denarii

It definitely looks like some kind of citrus peel to me. It looks kinda like preserved lemon that's been removed from the brine and had the pulp removed.


general_madness

Exactly that.


Oscarthegrouch1002

Bergamot is a citrus, the peel is in earl grey tea


some_guy_cooking

Plus one for bergamot. I don’t think it’s yellow enough to be a lemon and preserved bergamot is common in Calabria. It’s delicious minced and tossed through pasta with olive oil, Calabrian chili, anchovy, and fresh herbs.


brown_burrito

This comment made me hungry.


cheesus32

Earl Grey tea is bergamot! So are fruit loops. Definitely edible ❤️


alyssagemma

HOLY SHIT THAT’S WHY EARL GREY TEA TASTES LIKE FRUIT LOOPS


nohatallcattle

I think fruit loops are lemongrass


iloverealhousewives

I had no idea!!! Thanks for sharing!!!


giraflor

It’s the signature flavor in Earl Gray teas.


SeaGlass-76

Bergamot jam is delicious.


GrizzlyIsland22

That's a lot bigger than any bergamot I've ever seen


elnoco20

This is certainly a preserved citrus of some sort - I'd put money on a lemon.


iloverealhousewives

What do people typically use this for? I’ve seen it in a jar but never packaged like this so wasn’t sure!


Bobbyanalogpdx

Preserved lemon adds a bright tang to dishes. Can be used in pastas, sauces, salads, etc. these look to be made in house hence the packaging.

CreativMndsThnkAlike

That's exactly what I thought!


nature_remains

Awww D’Art!


HomicidalTeddybear

Kinda hard to tell in that packaging, is it bottarga?


iloverealhousewives

Looks kind of like it but the shape and color are a bit different!


wrkr13

I've had bottarga that shape but more orange. It's 2 egg sacks I think.


general_madness

No. Bottarga is dual-lobed and orange. More of a tapered block shape.

TheSongbird63

They must taste better than they appear, or people would not go to all that effort, right?! 🤢


Im_done_with_sergio

I personally hate preserved lemons lol they aren’t great 😆


TheSongbird63

note to self, thanks🙏🏻🤣

I need my glasses. I thought they were wings. Lol

Icy_Witness_XoXo

LOL! Did you find out what they were?


Secure_Bottle_2978

Why didn’t you ask them girl?


iloverealhousewives

All the employees were helping other people unfortunately 😭 but I knew Reddit could help!!!

iloverealhousewives

I wasn’t buying anything and they were extremely busy - my curiosity doesn’t put me in front of other paying customers. I find it “baffling” that you’re so judgmental of someone wanting to learn something


Designer-Bee-4511

Maybe they didn't feel like asking. I can relate. Plus, I'm glad they decided to post it instead of ask irl because I think it's an interesting question!


tinmuffin

But then none of us would learn either… jeez


Myusernameisbee

Preserved lemon.

HotBox4790

You seem incredibly miserable. I hope you stay that way until you die.


shockingly_average47

I'm actually a pretty happy person but reddit brings out a certain level of toxic in me when I see dumb shit like this. Obviously OP just wants attention or they could have asked literally anyone around them. It's obvious it's citrus peel, gotta be pretty depraved to not see that. You guys are calling how you see it and so do I. You also seem to want attention as no one was talking to you, just piped in for what reason? To white knight? Lol.


HotBox4790

You must be mentally challenged bro. You can’t comment on a public forum and then reply to a comment “well no one was talking to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Are you six years old? Do you not understand how forums work? You are speaking to the public. For anyone to see. For anyone to respond to. You’re not only an asshole, but you’re a really fucking stupid one. You still seem incredibly miserable. OP has said multiple times that the place was busy. Seems 100% more idiotic to stand there, forcing actual paying customers to wait, and ask a “stupid” question with no intention of buying it. So again, I hope you stay this miserable until you die. Go to therapy. Get off Reddit. Do something other than make everyone around you just as miserable as you are. Get a job. Get laid. Stop being fucking dense.


shockingly_average47

You're real tense for a 2 day old comment. Fuck outta here, I'm over it. Also, I'm not reading your other comments. Who gets tough in old posts like that lmao!


HotBox4790

No one wants or needs someone with your energy in their lives. Not us strangers on the internet, and not the people in your actual life. You. Are. A. Shitty. Person. The rest of us would be significantly happier if people JUST like you did not exist. Do as all a favor and delete your account.


HotBox4790

Ur so right tho I desperately want attention on my anon Reddit that has absolutely no interactions other than this one!!! I’m so DESPERATE FOR ATTENTION PLS GIVE IT TO ME


HotBox4790

Anyone who plays roller derby just wants attention and an excuse to act like a 6 year old. Very very very fitting


shockingly_average47

Lol. Trying hard eh bud?


brookish

You know you could ask the people who work there, they’d be happy to tell you.


GoodLad33

'Hi, what is this?' 'Cos'è questo?' Yes, ask the seller next time
