Harringay online

Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Clementines have apparently disappeared from the Sainsbury product line.

In their place is some South African mongrel cross-breed called the Nadorcott.

This interloper is branded as an 'easy peeler' ....as though the good folk of Harringay longer differentiated their citrus goods.

Some superficial research has confirmed that these sour and compacted little balls of disappointment are, in fact, tangerines.

Yes, the sickly ginger step-child of the citrus family.

What is going on Sainsbury's?

Bloody Labour council has let us down again.

Hi Stan

This might explain...

1) Clementine season is November - Jan. Late south hemisphere Clems come in around August. So for clementines, it's the dry season

2) US has got into importing Clementines a lot over the last couple of years following problems with orange crops http://www.producenews.com/index.php/markets-and-trends/8197-season...

btw - the clementine is also a cross-breed (sweet orange and mandarin). The nadorcott is from Morocco too. It's supposed to taste quite nice.

hope this helps

 

You "ad contort" estate agents can hardly complain, Stan.

'Nadorcott' is of course an anagram of 'cat trod on' - which may suggest revenge by local cat lovers.

ha ha good one Alan

ANd on the fish front - what is "river cobbler"? It appeared in Waitrose recently.

A river cobbler is a fish that mends wading boots, surely?

Easy peeler, eh?! I'm surprised Sainsburys doesn't just sell all fruit ready-peeled etc, ready to eat, given how pathetically incompetent most of its customers are at doing anything related to food preparation. I'm sure most of them don't know how to open a can. Pah! In the old days, we did it with a bayonet.
