I got a addicted to eating oranges with the peel. Obviously you need to get those not treated, "bio", or peel labeled for consumption. Some don't like the texture, but the automatic intensity and bitter-sweet contrast is so fucking awesome.

Try eating a whole chilled orange in the warm shower like an animal. Just make sure your bite gets pulp and peel both.

How fascinating. I would really have to let go of a lot of preconceptions to try that.

Honestly I haven't done that since I was a kid - I would "invent" food. My peanut butter and jelly variants included PB& banana, PB&raisins, PB&pickles - nope :( PB&grapes - would roll on the floor, etc...

If you haven't had watermelon rind juice, you totally should.

It's impossible to get unwrapping an orange right. I've tried for a lifetime.

Skin it then pull the pieces apart. Easier to figure out with a tangerine.

This is one of the most "draw a circle, then draw the rest of the owl" comments I've read. :) Skinning it is the tough part.

Sorry. Not trying to be unhelpful. I guess for that the tricks actually breaking the skin for the first time. Then kind of exploiting the tear from there. Sometimes I can use the pith (white flesh) to help separate the skin. Maybe it’s an angle thing? Having some nails or the edge of a butter knife seems to help too.

You can also just rip them in half. Then run your finger down the exposed sides between flesh/skin. Or bend the skin back from the meat.

Yeah it’s tough.

I think tangerines have thinner skin, maybe that helps?

For me tangerines usually have more space ie less connection between skin and meat. Might help as a trainer.

what's annoying is that some oranges... boom - they come apart perfectly into nice clean orange wedges. Then the next orange from the same bag will either have a bunch of peel left, or shred into pieces of mush.
