Do you 'skin' your oranges after you peel them?

[bankside]

So, the narrow tube formed where the wedges meet would be a 'carpel tunnel'?

boooooooooooo

 

[freefall]

Usually I eat it, but when I have a sore throat, I peel it off.

It's good for your digestion, y'know.

Now the question: do you swallow the seeds or spit them out?

I usually just stare at my Navels.

In high school I wrote a poem called "Omphaloskepsis."

No need to get all pithy.

I don't care for the skin a.k.a. pulp.

I don't care for the skin a.k.a. pulp.

The pith is the inner white skin that surrounds the segments after you peel the orange. The pulp is the more solid, chewable 'bubbles' inside the orange wedges.

i like oranges, they have appeal...

Hilarious!

Is this thread title some kind of metaphor?

 

[freefall]

I just unhinge my jaw like a snake and swallow the entire orange whole.

Why waste any of the nutritional value?

So you eat the peel, the seeds, and the stalk too?

 

[FPNY]

i like bananas too, guess why....they have appeal....

 

[mbamike]

Some, but not all.

I don't know if it's true or not, but I read on a 'health' forum that all or most of the vitamin C is in the pith and yes, I do 'skin' an orange before I eat it.

 

[Joshua_me]

I usually peel excess pith but I don't go crazy. I usually eat some.

I think my whole life has been *filled* with "excess pith".

...And I have gone crazy.

 

[gsdx]

Then peel off the excess pith, silly.

Try saying that out loud.

Elvin, as my first friend years ago when I came here,

I thought you might want my 12,000th post as a souvenir

of that moment.

Orange you glad you met me

[LilBit]

This topic is really starting to pith me off.
