Can someone please tell me any tips for gettin all of the white stuff off an orange??

I bought some tangerines tonight at Tesco and i've been at them for over an hour and i've only managed to eat 3 cos o the pith - it's stuck fast to the fruit!!! Its bitter and I don't like it.

Help?

I can only think that they're not really ripe.

Maybe do as you would for a fruit salad...sharp knife, top'n'tail then slice down and around taking the skin plus the pith away. You're going to need a spoon or plenty of kitchen paper or even a bib to eat it though

That sounds like a good plan.

However, i've now nearly finished the bag, with the help of a wee sharp knife, a pack of wet wipes and a fairly sticky laptop due to orange spurts. Whoops.

You should eat the pith, it's good for you! Nothing like a bit of roughage to sort you out...
