Clementines - 'Born in Oran, Algeria'

[Sminette]

Thanks for this Al-Khiyal. I didn't know that.

I remember as a child when we used to pass by Annaba port, there were
Boats full of beautiful, big, fresh and sparkling yellow lemons going for export.

Same thing for oranges but lemons caught my eye more as a child. Mountains and mountains of them.. it was very impressive!

i have a small crate right now in my kitchen . i used the half of the older crate in Juice . they were cheaper at my grocer and i love clementines , i cant resist buying them .

I remember as a 12 years old my Gran's sister (whom i adored ) brought a kilo of clementines home and by dinner I had finished ALL of them (without realising ) so after dinner when mom wanted to eat clementine she realised . She was not happy and called me greedy . My gran's sister came back again the next day and brought 3 kgs , One was just for me .
I still love them . Mine right now are made in morocco .

Talking about a product made in so and so country...
I've stopped believing in this since the day I watched a documentary either on Arte or TV5 , can't remember..
Dates were exported from Algeria to another country ( I'm not going to name it ), then that country would relabel them and export them back to Europe as their own..
Same thing for Coffee in Latin American countries etc..
