Giant Brainlike Fruit that Smells Like an Orange Discovered in Wilmore!

Osage Orange A fruit shaped like a brain that smells like an orange.  What could it be?
In walking a property yesterday that I hope to list soon I discovered a very unusual fruit?  I immediately came home and started doing some research on the internet.

This fruit is not like any other.  It is adorning my kitchen table while I wait to introduce it to my grandchildren.

A found a bunch of good web pages that explain the history of this fruit. This one seems the most scientific.

This "brainlike fruit" seems so baffling.  Why is it so huge?  Why does it seem useless as a food?  

I discovered that the largest Osage Orange Tree in the United States is located right here in Harrodsburg on the Fort Harrods grounds.  It is not officially the largest because it has a split tree trunk.  Betsy from Tennessee has this awesome blog post.  The pictures you see of "my" Osage Orange will testify to the size of this intriguing fruit.  

I am not sure if this is a "food" but it must be edible for some purpose?  This discovery of one of nature's treasures is once again a confirmation of the The Creator's power and majesty.
