I need a serious answer this time; about oranges but not quite.

What is the English name for that piece of fruit that looks like an orange, but is smaller and has a peelable skin?

 

Tangerine?

 

necterine?

 

Uhhh....a nectarine is like a peach....just nut fuzzy.

 

Yellow submarine!

 

Of course!! *lol*

 

Tangerine is a possibility, but it is certainly not a nectarine.

 

It's a mandarin. Exactly like an orange but smaller and you can peel the skin.

tangerines are something different.

 

You might be thinking of a tangelo.

 

BINGO!

I assumed it would be a different name, but now I am 100% positive it is a mandarin.

 

Ooooo colours.... bird... this is getting exciting.

 

Yes it truly is.
Can I offer you a mandarin?

 

is that what they're calling it these days?

 

Well, a tangerine IS a type of mandarine orange and they're grown in the US.

 

Sometimes a person needs to change his/her fruit to keep things exciting.

 

I'm a fan of grapes.

 

Oh man, I hurled grapes one time whilst drunk.......ugggg.....just the thought of 'em makes my stomach churn. More than ya needed to know I'm sure

 

Melon ......

 

mandarin? tangarine? lemon? grapefruit? lime? orange tomatoe?
