For some unknown reason, I had it in my head that I didn't like clementines. This past week they were on sale at my grocery store and I could smell them when I went in. They smelled so delicious, I just had to buy them. They are so yummy and I have no clue why I thought I didn't like them. I have been missing out for 45 years. I have a lot to make up for  Have you ever done that? Convinced yourself that you didn't like a certain thing, but ended up loving it later? |

I'm addicted to them. I eat 3-4 a day.  |

not me, but my boyfriend, and it's the same thing- Clementines! I have a tough time getting him to eat ANY fruit or vegetables, so I am amazed that he just loves those things. (but he's gotten snobbish about it; only the Halo cuties for him-- apparently they're a lot easier to peel than just 'any old' clementine, lol!)
ETA: me- growing up in Illinois, I thought I didn't like avocado or guacamole; for close to 40 years Turns out it was Taco Bell's Mexican food that I really didn't like, lol, because now that we live in AZ, I LOVE (a good) guacamole!

There are certain dinners that I grew up with that I only appreciate as an adult. I found them to weirdtasting as a kid, but my adult palate is loving it. Some of the things I was struggeling with was the combinations of the foods on my dinnerplate. They were fine seperatly, but together I didn't like them. Now I HAVE to have them together And clementines are the BEST! When they are in season here, in the month before and after Christmas, I will almost eat them till I drop. At least they are a healthy snack. BUt eating 9 in one sitting makes you REALLY need the bathroom. Just saying  |

when I was a kid, I couldn't understand how anyone would want to eat a RARE steak, and had mine cooked to 'shoe leather' consistency. (with ketchup on, for good measure!)
Now as an adult, I think the other way about it-- I don't understand how anyone would want to eat a well-done steak, lol! and ketchup wouldn't get anywhere near it!!

I haven't been able to find decent clementines for years. I've tried Cuties and Halos. I think I'll try Darling Clementines again. They're not US grown but I remember them always tasting good.

I love clementines. Years and years ago, when I was still a "tween", I was convinced that I hated Corn Flakes, but when I tried them, I really liked them. |

I love clementines, tangerines, mandarins, satsumas. Any small orangey product really! Even kumquats. I eat far more vegetables as an adult than I ever did as a child or teen. I really didn't like the taste of most vegetables. As I got older, I realised it was basically my mum's cooking of them that was the problem!  |

Love clementines! Send one in my son'a lunch everyday. Teachers have thanked me, because he has always been able to peel them without help.
