Clementines
Anyone try them? I picked up a 5lb bag at Sam's today. $5.88. They don't do much for me.
Of course I'm suppose to be smarter than going to Sam's this time of year. Just had to have mini egg rolls, smoked salmon, broccoli, coonass stuffed chicken breast, and grape tomatoes. And a bunch of other shit. Sad part was getting home and making room in fridge and freezer. But Mike and I eat at a Taco bell. :smack: |
I am not terribly keen on clementines. Always struck me as a less tasty, harder to peel version of a satsuma.
|
Like all fruit, they can vary wildly in taste. A good clementine is quite tasty, but they can also be tasteless bags of mostly water.
|
They're irritatingly hard to unwrap:P
|
If it's hard to peel, there's a good chance (in my experience) that it won't taste as good. The peel should be loose.
|
My experience of clementines is not of the sweet variety then :P
|
We must have a different clementine supplier than you guys... Ours are exceedingly easy to peel, and much sweeter than normal (naval) oranges. They're only available at the store a couple of times a year. I absolutely love them.
|
My kids love them - and they're $3something for 5lbs at our market right now.
|
I freaking love them. Except when you forget about them and you end up with a case of blue green squishy drippy fuzz.
|
Are you talking about mandarines?
|
I love 'em...local brand name: "Cuties" . . . I've been eating several a day.

Ahhh...ok thanks Clod.
We get several different kinds of mandarines here. Some with loose skin and others with tight skin. They all taste pretty good if you eat them when they're ready to be eaten. |
Busterb, you should make it down to southern California sometime, and eat from a mom-and-pop taqueria (a taco joint, that is) what Taco Bell is in imitation of. It can come as firey or as gentle as you want!
|
I'm in fine agreement with you this time UG. Taco Bell is as representative of Mexican food as a turtle is of transportation.
|
Mike came up with Taco bell. Only my 2nd time. I ask if he didn't watch the news? I had Quiznos in mind because of add for Smokehouse Beef Brisket.
But it was across town. |
aka Tangerines
Mineolas are the shizz, btw. |
No no no! Tangerines are similar in appearance but taste completely different. More specifically, they taste like ass, whereas mandarin oranges do not.

There's a joint in Oxnard right next to the train and bus station at the end of Fourth Avenue that can make up a good-sized burrito all the way from mild (and usually a little greasy -- this part of town doesn't do low-fat) to steam-jets-from-both-ears-even-if-you're-Mexican, named La Gloria. It's a multifaceted agglomeration of businesses that's mostly (by area) a grocery, but the second largest bit is a sort of buffet area with the back wall a panaderia with the traditional glass cases, trays and tongs with which you grab your choices of rolls and pastries. The flan there is good, too; only one or two other places in town can beat it. |
UG. Around Oxnard, is there a fruit stand beside one of the Hwys. that looks like a giant Artichoke?
|
Personally I would stay away from Taco Bell for an entirely different reason
|
I love mandarin oranges / clementines.
But they're usually too expensive for me, so I usually go without until my mother visits and buys a box. Thanks mom! |
I like the boxes that Clemintines come in - that's about it. I'd rather eat an orange. The best kind of oranges are Cara Cara Oranges. I had them once and they were so good.
