Comparison

Just for the record: I would be hard pressed to choose a favorite. It really depends on my mood and the weather. Apples are easier to eat on the go since they don't have to be peeled, but you've still got the core to dispose of (which isn't too hard). You can simply eat the whole thing, of course. I've done that a couple times, minus the stem. But if I'm going to eat the core I usually prefer just the part in the middle, with the seeds. Some apple seeds are actually pretty good, and taste very...apple-y. I assume there's some additional nutrition in there. Some cores are a little husky though. While oranges do have to be peeled, you can't deny their packaging is also a plus. You don't have to wash the fruit itself, and it is kept safe while rolling around the floor of your car or across the ground or, in rare cases, dropped into a goat's pen. It's fun to eat the sections of an orange or tangerine. Navel oranges also come with a bonus baby orange on one end. Can apples do that? I don't think so. Then again, you can't make very good pie with an orange. Or cobbler.

...I better stop now.
