I took this fine photo at my desk yesterday. Care to guess what the food is and what its back story is?

A rotten clementine
Posted by: Tarra | December 4, 2008 10:17 AM
It's a dried out clementine or tangerine.

A fuzzy navel? And I think it has been in someone's desk during their vacation:)
Posted by: Christine the Lioness | December 4, 2008 10:22 AM
I was going to say dried out orange. I've found them like this in my fridge before.

A pecan with a belly-button stud?

A walnut with a navel stud?
Posted by: Flipkid | December 4, 2008 10:39 AM
A Tangiers orange.
I'm guessing the photo was taken by a Canon PowerShot SD1000.
I'm guessing it was found under or behind something like a vending machine or cyclotron.

Looks like an orange that's gone south.
Posted by: Eve | December 4, 2008 10:49 AM
it is clearly a pumpkin, left over from smurf halloween 3 years ago

A fig?
Posted by: Zevonista | December 4, 2008 11:18 AM
dried mango?
Posted by: Kiki | December 4, 2008 11:24 AM
OK, then...my guess is that it was from a fruit-of-the-month subscription (circa 2003) and got lost in the postal delivery process. It finally was delivered yesterday.
How's that?

An attempt to fabricate "dried tangerine peel" for flavoring Chinese sauces. Somehow step 1 of the directions ("remove the peel from the tangerine") was lost or ignored.
