[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is funny because I grabbed a bag of (what I thought were) clementines and when I gave one to my 4 y/o DD for a snack she took one bite and said "Mom, I don't like mandarins."  I had to check the bag to see what she was talking about.  Like, what?  What kind of little citrus sommelier am I raising?

Anyway, since then I've been looking for clementines and finding the same thing you have, OP - it's all mandarins this year and I'm not sure why.[/quote]

No- your daughter is on to something. The mandarin farmers are trying to trick us clementine lovers into eating them. It's a giant conspiracy and it really pisses me off. It's the same people that sell flavored versions of standard things and put teeny tiny letters at the bottom of the package so you don't notice.[/quote]

I'm kind of shocked to hear that there is a difference! I thought most of the difference between orange/mandarin/clementine/whathaveyou is size and how easily one can peel. Now I have to buy both and eat them side by side to see if I notice a diffrence.[/quote]
