das feel when I just got an orange catalog in the mail but can't really afford any this year

Ugh. All the stores ran out of oranges during black friday. You're lucky to even find them.

>tfw living in FL and oranges are free

lol I remember going on vacation to my grandmas place in florida and would pick a grapefruit and orange on my way back from the pool every morning for breakfast

saw some fucking apples for literally tree fiddy/lb at sop and stop today.

wft?

They don't have any oranges for sale in Germany?

Man, the local farmer's market (sadly they ended last month) had one farming family that specialized in the best honey crisp apples. Only about two dollars a pound for "day old's," but holy cow.

I'm glad I like mandarins and tangerines because otherwise I'd be paying about three fifty per pound for even crap apples at the local grocer. Grapes are also pretty nice.

Question for the foodanons: am I the only guy that eats the entire apple, core, seeds, and all, or am I some demented freak?

Are you really fucking German? And what the actual fuck is an orange catalog? pleaase tell me you don't get your produce in the mail.......

>>4028196
the core and seeds are poisonous

Man, it being Clementine season is so nice. Nothing quite like having a bag at your side for quick snacks.

>>4028227
The seeds contain a small amount of cyanide but you can't get poisoned from eating them whole since the outsides are indigestible

there is a thriving mail order industry where people can get the finest foods, through the mail. I know this absolutely boggles the minds of poorfucks on 4chan, but it's the way of the real world.

>>4028236
You use mail order catalogs just to get fresh oranges?

>>4028227
i do as well. waste not, want not i say.

>>4028239
I don't, I have orange trees in the backyard and live in orange growing country so it's dirt cheap here, but I'm saying there's nothing wrong with it if you live somewhere that oranges aren't so plentiful.

Hell, most of the oranges in supermarkets around the nation have to be shipped in from hundreds or thousands of miles away, it's not so different buying a crate of oranges from a catalog.

>Are you really fucking German?
no
>And what the actual fuck is an orange catalog?
areas that produce the best of the best of ANYTHING sell their products through internet/catalog orders
>pleaase tell me you don't get your produce in the mail.......
the shit you get in the mail is just as fresh as the stuff that crosses the country on a truck

>>4028239
the oranges you get through the mail aren't like regular oranges that they might sell year round at your grocery store

>>4028266
these are the kind I order

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tangelo

>>4028230
And to think that I crush up the seeds to make them easier to swallow. And have been doing this for about five years. Eh, I've had a good run.

>>4028228
Totally agree with the clementines. I could go through a three pound bag of those in a day...

My mom gets all of her veggies delivered to her in a crate once a week from a vegetable distributor with no retail outlet.

I don't see why oranges in a catalog is so strange.

>>4028272
Dude, they sell fucking tangelos at my local WalMart, calm the fuck down. You act like you've discovered the damn lost scrolls or something. Although tangelos do taste pretty good, I'll give you that.

florida doesn't make good oranges, proof of this is how much florida orange juice sucks

What about your shit-tier oranges?

texas orange is best orange.

>>4028436
My fave are Valencia, which come from Spain.

>>4028436
Those look heinous man.....do they really taste good?

>>4028196

I rear whole apples too. love the taste of the seeds. nutty.

>>4029770
proved to be the best oranges in the world

I like to eat clementine skins.

I like apples, but they are a pain to cut and prep.

>eating the core

Fucking animals. Oranges are a pain to prep too. Both are worth it though.
