robyn you live in canada - track some of those down - wikipedia says you can find them in chinatowns
theyre like a cross between a clementine and a cloud - with a purple cardboard peel

what do they taste like????
― elmo argonaut, Monday, 26 November 2007 19:54 (sixteen years ago) link
the flavor and texture is just the most delicate tender version of citrus imaginable. clementines are brutish in comparison.
― jhøshea, Monday, 26 November 2007 19:59 (sixteen years ago) link
anyway i just ate 2 more clementines so: 6

For the period since 2006 to present, private small volume orders from fruits grown on Puerto Rico are being filled for American gourmet restaurants who serve the aril pieces as a delicacy dessert. [12] Beginning in 2007 for the first time, fresh mangosteens are also being sold for as high as $45 per pound from specialty produce stores in New York City

two. satsumas
― jergïns, Monday, 26 November 2007 20:03 (sixteen years ago) link
The clementine is not always distinguished from other varieties of mandarin: in German, it is generally referred to as "Mandarine" and in Japanese, mikan. However, it should not be confused with similar fruit such as the satsuma, another popular variety.

in the NW, we call em SATSUMAS. They come wrapped in COPYRIGHT NOTICE.
Clementines != satsumas. Satsumas are the king of fruits. I have eaten 0 clementines in 2008. I have comfortably eaten 500+ satsumas. Daily intake increases further in the run-up to Christmas.
― caek, Monday, 26 November 2007 22:14 (sixteen years ago) link
How to recognize
satusma: smooth, baggy skin, tastes like a million virgins are showering you with lotus blossoms
clementine: dimpled, tight skin, tastes like cheap cologne and fried chicken
― caek, Monday, 26 November 2007 22:16 (sixteen years ago) link
500+ future eaten satsumas whoa

Shit, what has happened to the clementines? I bought a box yesterday and they're tasteless with a weird texture.

Mine have all been very maleable. Recently I bought a box with a bunch that were partially rotten. It's been a bummer. When did California have that cold snap?
