Seasonal: To hate supermarkets labelling everything round and orange an easy peeler

Seriously, what the holy hairy Mary are they? Are they a satsuma? A clementine? A tangerine? Should I expect pips or shouldn't I?

They all taste like water wrapped in a baggy, chewy old sausage skin because they've been on a boat from the Transvaal for months but even so. Do they think we're so stupid we need tactile information to distinguish them from a standard orange?

...and breathe....

catslave I see where you're coming from. So far I've bought small thin-skinned citrus fruits from Tesco, Morrisons and Waitrose. I particularly remember the Tesco ones having Easy Peelers written on them, but they did also have Variety and Country of Origin.

I noticed as I am currently boycotting Israel until they stop invading Palestine.

The Waitrose and Morrisons were also fairly clearly labelled.

I'm pretty serious about the Israeli blockade. Bastards.

Oh I thought this was because they are hardly ever easy to peel. They should call them quite-fiddly-to-peelers. I agree they all taste of sour nothingness.
