Probably 25 years ago I was sitting at a picnic table eating my lunch
and having a lot of trouble with the skin of my navel orange which
was resisting my best efforts to peel it cleanly off.

I heard a voice from near by pipe up asking.........

"Why don't you roll your orange" ?

It was a young girl about 14.

I asked her what she meant and told her to show me
as I had two oranges.

She promptly took my 2nd orange and proceeded to roll it firmly
around the hard surface of the picnic table for a half minute or so
with the heel of her hand and then handed it back.

To my utter surprise, I was now able to peel the orange rind
off of the orange in one complete piece leaving next to none
of the spongy white residue which often accompanies a difficult
to peel orange.

This may or may not be common knowledge, but I thought I would share
it with the trapperman brain trust if the Quarantine finds you struggling
with your orange peel.

Try it and you may be amazed if you didn't already know.

Carry on.

Thanks, I'll have to try that!

I'll try it too. How do you peel a banana? I just was taught to hold the stem and peel it from the other end. It's easier then staring to peel from the stem end. Only took more than sixty years to learn. Lol

I've recently seen that, just seems goofy to me. It works though.

Don't try rolling the banana.

Yes "learned" these also along with rolling a hard boiled egg just reinforces my theory that I've come up with very little on my own

I don’t eat fruit but my wife and kids love it, and the wife taught me to peel oranges for the kids that way.
She also does her boiled eggs the same way

Somebody needs to educate that young lady about approaching strangers at picnic tables.

(This word is unacceptable on Trapperman), too late.

All good advice. Great to see others sharing it too. After all, none of us are born knowing.

I thought that was common knowledge, thanks for sharing.

i thought he'd got some"dank" stuff to fight off corona.

I learned that trick when I was about 12 yrs old. Been doing it ever since. Actually I did it last night.

Be careful peeling all your bananas, you may be forced to wear it as a mask.
