Christmas fruit.
Where are all the tangerines and satsumas?
Growing up, the smell of them was synonymous with Christmas cos we always had them but can I find any?
Clementines, Navel Oranges (wtf??), Clemenvillas (wtf??), Mandarins no problem at all, even things just called "Soft Citrus" but tangerines - none to be had
Did they go extinct or something? Have the EU outlawed them?

We eat loads of oranges and our preferred type are Navels. Always sweet and juicy. I imagine the name comes from the "belly button" underneath.

They do seem to be hard to get this year, though.
