Those are kumquats: kumquat - Google Search
I tried to eat it whole, but it was not tasty at all. Then I peeled and tried the inside, and it was even worse. Maybe I just had a bad batch ( I bought only 3! just to try)
But if you guys say it taste good, I guess, I will try it again
Yeah.... I eat skin of apples, pears, plums, peaches, nectarines, grapes ( anyone peeling grapes??? ), kiwi, the hard core of pineapple (not the prickly skin), I add grated raw citrus peel to salads, or just throw the whole, unpeeled fruit into a juicer, I never peel squashes or English cucumber, etc. I even eat skin of ... strawberries ( OK, just joking about the strawberries )
I eat a whole pear including the seeds ( they are really soft), same with grapes, pomegranate, even tangerines/mandarins.
But I will not eat apple with seeds, or swallow cherry stones ( well, it happen, but accidentally)
I buy my fruit organic, so the skin is safe to eat, and its not so thick and waxy.
Only when I feel exotic (old joke - "I feel exotic ...peel me a grape").
We eat grape skins! That's where the flavor is. I swallow most fruit seeds, eat most peels except citrus rinds, watermelon rinds, etc. LOVE pomegranates, don't care about the seeds, but obviously don't eat the skin.
My Siberian husky used to eat whole lemons (yes, lemons) that fell off the tree in our yard. And, oranges, rind and all. Once my husband started peeling the oranges for her, she stopped eating the whole thing. Crazy doggie.

We had a kumquat tree in our back yard in California. None of us kids liked to eat them, but it sure was fun hitting them over the house with our badminton rackets.

I think you had a bad batch. I have a kumquat tree and the fruit is great. They taste like sour tangerines.
Then again I've never had any from the store. Fruit from the store is hit or miss, and usually miss.
