The mandarin orange, I believe, comes from China. Mandarin is the
standard vernacular language of China, which is based on the principal
dialect spoken in and around Beijing.

But I've never seen cans of Mandarin Oranges marked "imported from
China." Where to Geisha and 3 Diamonds get them from? And why
haven't I ever seen Mandarin Oranges in the supermarket--fresh ones
I mean?

| Mandarin oranges (at least the ones packaged by Geisha and 3 Diamonds)
come from Spain.
No, mandarin oranges are oranges; they are not tangerines.
Why aren't they sold fresh? I don't know.

| In the colloquial Arabic of NW Africa, oranges are called "cheena".

| You can get fresh mandarin oranges sometimes at Idylwild Farms in
Acton, Mass. They're quite good!

| Thanks for all the good info on mandarin oranges. I feel like an
expert! 8-)
Any ideas on a recipe? 8-(

P.S. Idlylwild, here I come. I can't begin to imagine what a real
mandarin orange is like--must be real tiny!

| 1176.8 | tangerines are mandarins! | CAMLOT::DUGDALE | | Thu Jun 02 1988 15:24 | 5 |
| There was an article on mandarin oranges in Good Food earlier this
year. Tangeringes are one variety of mandarins. I'll see if I
can dig the article out for the rest of the information.

| 1176.9 | get a mini mandarine tree | TRILGY::WILDE | Grand Poobah's first assistant and Jr. Wizard | Thu Jun 02 1988 18:01 | 9 |
| You can get minature mandarine orange trees from some nurseries in the
West. They grow to approx. 6 feet in height (maybe 7 at most) and
ripen a crop out at about Christmas time. One crop a year seems the
norm (I used to have one - but it was in-ground and I moved). They
are probably mostly available canned as they don't grow too well in
the U.S.

| 1176.10 | Availability of Mandarins | HOONOO::PESENTI | JP | Fri Jun 03 1988 08:04 | 7 |
| They do get then in at Idylwilde Farms, but only when they are in season. I
have also seen canned sliced Mandarins (in juice? water?) that are supposed to
be for making Marmalade. Places like Williams-Sonoma often advertise tins (if
it was for making jelly, it would come in cans, but...) in their catalog.

Mandarin marmalade???!!!! Sounds awful! Good marmalade is made from
Seville oranges, which, I believe, are only grown in Spain. I have
only seen them in cans for making marmalade or already made into
marmalade. They are supposed to be extremely bitter and completely
inedible in their natural state. Judging from the taste of good
marmalade, I can believe it.

| I really like these things, but I've always chuckled at eating them,
ever since somebody in my past (I can't for the life of me remember
who) referred to them as Rat's Lungs.
Chow down.
