When did oranges become larger than grapefruit?
I was at the supermarket the other night, taking a break from looking for fresh coriander in order to stand around in a stupor, when I noticed the oranges: barrels of vicious, knobbly things the size of an infant's head. I have known such oranges before -- their skin is the better part of a centimeter thick, their flesh pale and mostly bitter -- but not in such a freakish size. They were navel oranges, I think, but navel oranges are not always so monstrous. At least, they were not in my youth.
Off to the right sat several crates of yellow grapefruit, smaller than the oranges. I spent a few minutes puzzling over this, but was then overwhelmed with more pressing concerns. Like, who eats all these crates of grapefruit? I ate them when I was little, because my dad ate them, and they made a good breakfast. But I always assumed that eating grapefruit was sort of unusual. Was I wrong? Are we turning into a nation of grapefruit eaters? Or have we always been?
