Satsuma overdose...

[snags]

I can't stop eating them. How do you peel yours?

I make a small bite in the skin to start. From there I peel a strip around the circumference of the fruit before removing the top and bottom 'caps'. End up with the removed skin in one piece... looks a little like an elephant (two ears and a trunk) which is nice...

i peel them same way, but only ever saw the shape as an "elephant" til i hit my 20s lol

dont eat too many, fresh orange is a good way of clearing the passages, so to speak

[mccfluff]

you are a freaking weirdo

ok dig nail in near the top then attempt to remove in one go - award yourself 10 points if you manage it, then i have to get as much of the pith of as possible before seperating into segments and removing any stray pith that's left

kinda why i havent bothered eating any for a while :-)

[gingejbee]

Oh, you peel them?
Actually, let OH peel mine, and the grapes!

[snags]

fluffs... best you stick to Terrys chocolate orange from now on...

[mccfluff]

far more civilised

"I need to see this elephant effect"


well turn your trouser pockets inside out...............

I knew this would be you before I even clicked on it...

I like to remove the skin all in one go using the more civilised nail to skin method rather than biting it.... I don't really do the elephant thing.

Just tried that red... didn't work... think I've been sold Clems on the sly...

Too many oranges can make the palms of your hands go orange..... I've seen it, I used to work with the girl who ate three oranges every day.

I prefer clementines, satsumas are one step away from knawing on a lemon

[snags]

You need to switch your fruit provider... these Sats are sweeeet.

The skin doesn't come away as easily on Clems does it...

[cazzz1975]

my clems have a skin thats too big for the fruit, I like to juggle with 3 clems for approx 4 minutes before I eat them.

then its a short but shocking trip to the toilet :)

[snags]

CD is learning to juggle... with Sats. I get her to soften them up for a few minutes before I grab them off her. Dropping them on the floor half a dozen times also seems to help.

[funnygirl]

I have to pick all the bits off before I can eat mine.
So my segments are neatly peeled and all lined up ready to pop into my mouth.

Just eaten my way through a whole punnet of cherries - THEN I saw the price (about 10p a cherry). That's two bob in real money.

[boxtops]

LOL lardy, I did that the other day, I realised that the special offer price of a loaf of bread was fifteen shillings!

[Lardhelmet_2]

lol boxy! My daughter falls about when I talk about stuff in real money - a Mars Bar now costs the equivalent of about 13 shilings! It used to cost half a crown ( a weeks pocket money!)

[boxtops]

Ahem.... (sorry snags) I've still got a pair of shoes for which I paid twenty-nine and elevenpence in 1971.....
