The Florida Style of Eating Oranges

There are many ways of eating oranges, but the Floridian has probably the most common-sense way of disposing of the fruit. He uses a sharp knife, and pares the orange much the same as one would peel an apple, taking care not to cut through the white rind that protects the pulp. Then, holding the orange at the poles and cutting through the center, the seed pods are removed. The rest is easy. As a colored boy in Jacksonville said: “Put yoah face in it and eat till you come to the rind.” —New York Sunbeam. Bee S. Oppenheimer & Ca’* butcher adv.
