Tangerine

I love fruit, but I think tangerines may be one of the dumbest fruits ever. And as much as Idespise them, I continue to buy them--dumb I know . You are probably thinking I don't like the taste, which is completely false. I love them, I could probably eat one every day.

Instead, I hate the fact that it has seeds. Most fruit has seeds that are either edible (think kiwi, strawberry...) or ones that are easy to eat around (apple). No... a tangerine's seeds effect my eating. There is no way to eat around the seed and when you bite it (which happens to me often because those pesky seeds like to hide) it is crunchy and gross.. basically non-edible in my opinion. There is no easy way.

So as I sit with my tangerine this morning, I am reminded of why they suck. My hands are sticky from the juice because I have to squeeze out the seeds before I can eat it. And of course, I think I have them all and then I bite down and it feels like a cracked tooth...oh no. Just another seed. I guess maybe I should stick to oranges.
