I forego oranges completely in favor of what is apparently being called a "sumo citrus." Sweet, sour, delicious, enormous, and a breeze to peel thanks to the big ol' knob on one end. I die a little each year when they go out of season.

I love freezing mandarin... segments? seems to be the name according to google and eating them in summer. I will take them out of the freezer a few minutes before eating. It's like a sorbet :)

I just eat them. I like things with orange, I like sliced candied oranges covered in black chocolate (probably the only thing I prefer over a raw orange), and of course dark chocolate with orange is a classic. Not too fond of orange juice tho. But I love any citric ice cream.

When I was a kid (and as a kid I was quite small; short compared to other kids, and thin like a paper sheet, also pale like a paper sheet) I would get three oranges, cut them in half, and eat them all. No oranges? No problem! I would eat six tangerines instead. All I ask to the oranges and tangerines is to not be acid/sour. I can eat them even if they're not specially sweet. But acid/sour? Nope. My fav variety is navel orange. I also peel them now, and eat only one.

Nowadays I don't eat as much fruit as I did before. I'm very picky with many fruits, they have to be in the exact point of maturation I like, or I don't eat. Also with time, some varieties of some fruits have disappeared in favour of others that give more tons per area when harvesting. Here it's hard to find yellow saturn peaches, which are delicious. Instead we have white saturn peaches, which have double the size and half the flavour. So as decades pass, I simply find less and less fruit that I really want to eat. (I still eat two saturn peaches at a time when they're ok). I hope they don't do anything to pomegranate. Out of season pomegranates are also a disgrace.

Oranges are an hybrid of tangerine/mandarin and grapefruit. I don't like grapefruit. But I like sanguine oranges, which have a few slashes of red colour, as if they were stained with blood.

My mum used to make an orange/mandarin tart (sometimes a cheesecake if the Philadelphia was on sale), it was really nice but a bit time consuming. She'd prepare the biscuit base but soak it in a small amount of orange juice overnight so the result was something firm but agreeably moist at the same time. Then depending on what ingredients we had it was either a modified Madeira recipe infused with citrus syrup and pressed with mandarin segments on top, or jellyfied orange and mandarin layers with a lattice top or a mild orange juice infused cheesecake with a zesty lemon cream topping. I tried to get her to see the possibilities of a white chocolate cheesecake mix but sadly it never happened. I still remember it and still can't bring myself to make it again myself.

It was always a balancing act though, our favourite oranges were navel (cheapest in May-sept) but mandarins are really only affordable here (Australia) in the warmer months (Oct-Feb). Don't get me wrong, Valencia's are fine but they're regarded as a juicing orange here rather than an eating orange.

My favorite thing to do with oranges is just eat them! I love them. I just crack them open and eat them as they are.
My grandma had orange trees and she used to make those little upside down orange cakes that were delicious.
It was kinda like a cross between an upside down cake and a tarte tatin. She used orange juice to make a tangy caramel and put it at the bottom of a muffin tin with a big slice of orange and pour a spiced cake batter on top.
I just loved to turn them over when they were ready. All this yummy orange syrup running all over that little cake. Yum.

Today I saw a video of Laibach's rendition of Strange Fruit, the jazz standard about black people being lynched in the American south. This dying planet video may have bummed me out even more.

speaking of the planet. I used to inject this song into my veins. And it used to make me feel at awe, hopeful for the planet, and also at peace with my insignificance.
