I heart Loquats

Yeah, so I was in Tampa for the past week on a mission to find Loquats. Because of my spelling you may be asking yourself what they are. Or even if I managed to spell that right you still may be clueless. Well they are a fabulous fruit, relative of the Cumquat. They are a small, sweet fruit that I haven't had in four years and I missed them. So since I was there I thought what the hell, I will drive an hour or two, visit Bok Towers and find my forbidden fruit. Apparently there is a "tiny" gas shortage in good ole Florida. I couldn't find a gas station with gas until I drove to the next town and even then struggled. And when I finally get to fabulous Mountain Lake and hit five different grocery stores, I discover that Loquats are out of season. I wanted to cry. My mission for fruit-happiness failed. I wanted to steal a Loquat tree to bring back with me and plant here, but I didn't think the airport would appreciate that too much. Oh and if you're curious, I know the Loquat shouldn't technically be capitalized, but since God is and they are the God of fruit...I figured it worked.

Looking for Loquat luxury,

Seriously has anyone else even heard of this fruit? I promise I am not making it up.
