This morning I made a glass of orange juice.
I love having a special machine to make it
Perhaps people have them in the UK too but I never saw one – here there seems to be one in every house.
It makes sense – the oranges have a label saying España and it still gives me a kick to think ‘that’s where I am!’ (I know I’m in Catalunya but….you know what I mean!)
It is orange season and we have loads in the kitchen – you buy some for eating and huge bags for juicing
The colour orange was named after the fruit, not the other way round.
The word orange comes from Sanskrit naranga meaning fragrant.
In Catalan it is taronja and in Castellano naranja.

People have these machines here in the Netherlands too and there are 2 types of oranges in the shops – ‘hand’ oranges for eating and ‘pers’ oranges for squeezing.
