That's just taking the pith
good job.
Like a freshly shorn scrotum. Exquisite.
Succulent, perhaps...?
Like a Chinese me..GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY PENIS!
..never thought I'd reference that video twice in one day in COMPLETELY different contexts, let alone that it would be THAT part both times rather than the vastly superior "are you also awaiting my limp penis?"
This is democracy manifest
its breathtaking, I suggest you try it
I don't get it
I think the idea is that the person would go through the tedious work of removing all the stringy bits from an orange on the other person's behalf.
My pervert brain first saw it as a metaphor for shaving everything.
But for most people that would count as "tedious work" too, so the underlying message would be the same either way.
That’s beautiful
You're not the only one with a pervy brain. I thought it was a metaphor for sex.
I thought someone was going to fuck the orange and was terribly confused.
I suggest a grapefruit
Looks like a tangerine. Still tedious, but much easier than an orange.
Why would someone do that ?
because the stringy bits, like the rind, are bitter, which changes the flavour of the fruit.
For most citrus the pith has no flavor at all, definitely not bitter. Most people object to the texture and blandness/lack of flavor, which I can understand. I have a bunch of citrus trees in my yard, and learned to not mind the pith, mainly due to laziness (I eat a lot of oranges) - and it's a good source of fiber.
That's beautiful
You either don't have kids, or they're not horribly picky eaters like mine.
The stringy bits of an orange are tedious to remove. But if you ask my children, they're also poisonous and taste like death.
They're pretty bitter when you're young, but your taste buds usually become less sensitive to it as you age.
Also comes to mind: grapefruit method
I can still hear her in my mind....
No, I wouldn't even for me.
I'll make 27 trips downstairs to the fridge for you
I'll work double overtime
I'll hold your hair while you're puking
Peeling oranges that well is a layer of hell best left unvisited.
You know that the white part is the most healthy? Just saying, not implying anything
.
Marry me now.
Pith off!
tears in my eyes..
tears in my fucking eyes.
Pectinase'll dissolve the pith if you're a particular kind of weird, lazy nerd
Interesting. I didn't know that's what that breed of dog is for.
I'm the one who does that. Still available.
