Description: Two forms of citron: the Etrog is used as part of the Jewish holiday Sukkot. The Buddha's hand is a pulpless kind, and while Dr. Wright said they are not eaten, I've since seen (and heard from both Artusi bar twitter.com/ArtusiBar/status/295327984565497856 and Seattle's Bon Vivant twitter.com/bonnevivante/status/295399064927883264) that there are some culinary uses. Artusi says "Shaved paper thin in composed salads, over fish, steamed w clams" and Myra says "use the grated zest in marinades and drinks and dry in salt."
