Title: Oranges.
Post by: Tazia of the Omineca on January 21, 2012, 04:59:48 PM
I like oranges, Navel oranges, Pink Navel Oranges to be even more specific.
Oh! And I like Blood Oranges, and some mandarin oranges, or japanese oranges.


So... Who else likes oranges and why?

I like the Tanginess of Navel, and the Tartness of Pink Navel.
The sweetness of Blood Oranges, and I like the mild flavour of mandarin, and japanese oranges.

I like oranges.  I don't know why other than because they taste so yummy.

Mandarin, I suppose would be my favorite; though aside from those, I don't know them [oranges] quite by name.

Awe, too bad, mandarin are pretty good though. I used to dislike them earlier in life but I have recently taken a liking.

Do tangerines count? 'Cause those are my favourite. Though I like most of the other kinds too.

I'm sure a tangerine counts, they are orange and round and have funny skin.

Oranges themselves are pretty good  :)  I like them several different ways, mostly in juice

I stick to navel oranges. I don't like seeds in my food. I know, crazy. Have you ever bent an orange peel near a flame? The "pores" shoot out something flammable and you get a nice little flamethrower! Hugs, Devlyn

I love Mandarin oranges.  I love the sweet oranges where you can peel the orange from the root and it still remains as one dry piece but I'm not sure if they are navel oranges or tangerines.

Orange oil.  It is the same stuff that can kill termites.

I love all of the citrus fruits.

My favorite might be the Satsuma tangerine (mandarin).

Have you ever seen this citrus fruit?

Didn't I see that fruit in the movie "Alien"? Hugs, Devlyn

It is the fo-shou, or Buddha's Hand citron.  If you have even eaten a commercial holiday fruitcake, you probaly have tasted this type of citron.

Kumquats are in season now (at least in California)

I like to slice them in half and add them to sangria.
