If you feel sad, eat an orange 🍊
Ah lol. What about the peel? The zest is delicious but the white part is awful. You normally gotta be careful if you’re using a shredder or microplane when zesting because if you go too deep it tastes pretty bitter. Though the texture is also not very appealing, though I do wonder how much of that is from the flavour.
Oh, wow, I had no idea. I don’t use zest too often, but I’ll have to keep that in mind next time! I could probably end up making something that I think tastes amazing while being completely off-putting to others if I’m not careful 😅
