To think that oranges..

[TartanDr3ams]

..are so tedious to peel? Kinda cba with it by the time im done faffing 😂😂

Just a light heartrd post for this miserable Tuesday morning.

What food preperarions do you hate?

I hate peeling oranges, peeling potatoes + grating cheese!!

I see your list and add preparing cauliflower with the de-leafing and breaking it up. And it tastes horrific

kind of begs the question why I bother really.

The whole process of making mashed potato. Pain in the arse. I now say if my family want it they have to make it themselves. I will of course eat it once made.

I love oranges but can't often be arsed to peel them. I have a nifty little peeling gadget which is a bit too blunt now, really must find another online.

I can't think of any food prep that I actually enjoy.

Satsumas are easy to peel, but big oranges I’d just cut into 8ths and chew outside the inside...

Orange nails

I love roast squash but it omg it's such a pain in the arse! The peel gets up your finger nails, chopping it is like hacking firewood and then the seeds, the seeds!!

Taking husks out of strawberries....I used to have a nifty wee thing to do it but it’s gone AWOL

MadisonAvenue A bic pen with the cap on makes a tedious and fiddly emergency orange peeling tool, if you dont actually own a knife for some reason.

I hate oranges. Loved them when I had my second baby, haven't been able to stand them since.

I also hate peeling potatoes, no idea why but it makes the skin on my hands really sore.

Peeling potatoes kills my soul.

...are not the only fruit

Grating cheese. But I don't like ready grated, it's powdery and wrong...

Peeling and chopping onions and garlic is actually worse. Pity you cant buy frozen ready peeled oranges.

Wiping mushrooms. Grating carrots. Peeling, chopping and mashing potatoes.

Also turnip. Hence why my DC have never tasted it.

Peeling a butternut squash is the worst by far.

Psychedelic you beat me to it! 😂

I love potatoes but preparing them for any form is so annoying.

Also I totally agree with you about oranges.

Mook, if you're roasting squash you don't need to peel, just cut into wedges and the skin falls off once cooked!

I don't mind peeling potatoes but do hate cutting them up for chips, so fiddly!

Una this is life changing! I use loads of squash and it is a pain in the arse.
Also I avoid big oranges (although like satsumas) I don't overly mind potato prep though

I use a straw for removing the middle of strawberries

I'm never really sure how to wipe a mushroom. I know I'm supposed to do it but I just sort of improvise. As long as there's no real live mud on them I feel like they're OK.

Oh, and OP, yes, oranges are the devil's fruit. The juice gets everywhere even if you just chop and suck, it's horrid. My friend gets around this by eating them skin and all, like an apple

A couple of nights ago a friend looked confusedly at my fruit bowl with navel oranges in, and said "you don't actually peel and eat those, do you!?"

I quickly reassured her that they were used exclusively for garnishing negronis
