I got a quart sized container of Clementines at the store. I plan on putting them in the stockings.

I love clementines.  Just wish I could buy half crates - a whole crate is just too many.

I bought one of the baby crates for $5.  I've eaten like 6 since then.  (Yesterday)

You don't know clementines?  They're super delicious little tangerine-like oranges.  From somewhere where they speak spanish.  Or portuguese.  I can't remember.

I grew up next to an orange and grapefruit grove, and Arizona wouldn't let outside citrus to be shipped in.  We were sheltered.

Never heard of them.  Except maybe in chat one day.

Matt, is that picture from a movie?  Was it a good movie?  Can you tell me a little about it?  Maybe we should start a thread.

They never used to be available in the US - until some sort of drought or flood or other traumatic crop situation and there were no oranges for the Americans - so they started shipping them in to fill the void.

Jessie has a good idea.  That picture looks like it should have a thread or 10 all its own.

i can't eat the whole crate of them either, but i buy them, and then eat as many clementines as i can stand, and then juice the rest and have an enormously decadent breakfast drink. i mean - clementine juice is the deal.

They are good.  Someone at work picked up 2 crates when they were on sale at Kroger.

I'm almost through the crate we bought on Friday.  I'll have to get another today.

I love me some Clementines. Except when I eat too many, and they give me the shits.

One case down.  Yum.

I got a fondue pot from my parents for Christmas.  It's shaped like a Hershey kiss- so I'm going to put chocolate in it.  Then I'm going to dip clementine sections into the chocolate.

YUM.

if someone had just said it's a seedless mandarin, this would have been much easier.

I just bought three pounds of the tiny ones.  I can eat them in two bites.

I ate two.

I'm going to have more.
