Oranges are not the lonely fruit

I have to admit, I wasn't brimming with excitement at the prospect of reading an article about how to peel an orange. (Times 2, Wednesday 4th June). It rather seemed something more suited to a Delia book - ready to be followed up by tips on where to pay more for ones with the peel already taken off.

But recalling the many articles I'd attempted to type on a gummed-up sticky keyboard and remembering the tell-tale smell which my friends unfailingly remarked upon when entering my room at university I thought I could do worse than to read on. I was becoming sick of buying the comparatively tasteless satsumas on offer in Sainsbury's. 

Amazing. 9am the next morning I am confidently peeling an orange in one piece in an office lift. No mess. No smell. Delicious. I am converted back to the original orange and hope many readers will now be able to enjoy the fruit without alienating the rest of the office.
