Llwyncelyn Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Please has anyone seen them on their travels? We live in (50). The season is short so probably over by now and indeed I am not sure of what the French call them or even if they are imported here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayJay Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I think they're oranges amères but have never seen them here. You can make marmalade with any oranges though, I get the net bags, especially when they're on promo & add a lemon & grapefruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vin rouge Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Only place I have ever seen them was in Dieppe. Did not manage to get there in time this year so just used some from the local market, not quite the same but very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessfou Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Oranges am\eres (de Séville) pour la confiture. I've not seen them in any of the Grandes Surfaces but at least one of our local greengrocers had a batch in (a couple of kilos of which combined with some ordinary Glenmorangie and some Lagavullin 16 to make seven pots of each kind of marmalade).

Patf Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 This morning I realised I'd forgotten to buy marmalade so made some with a few shrivelled specimens plus a lemon and some grapefruit juice, like you Jayjay. The result was tasty and the mixture set very quickly. But would probably be better with Seville oranges.Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llwyncelyn Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Last week I was in Villedieu Les Poeles and saw the Sevilles at 1.90 per kilo. I bought three kilos and whilst chatting the lady in the shop said that she regularly gets them in season for around Villedieu there are lots and lots of English.............................I asked her how many Welsh people and she could not answer that.Indeed the French seem to generalise a lot and one friend today did not even understand the concept of England Scotland Ireland and Wales.I thought a little later do I?

Catalpa Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Whereabouts in Villedieu?According to a friend who works for the UN, England as a legal entity no longer exists whereas the other countries do. [:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeanneclaire Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I am not sure but I do think that you have missed them, as it was several weeks ago that MOH came home and said that he had seen them, I actually forgot about it until reading this post.jeanneclaire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patf Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I read in a magazine that they are also called bigarades.There's a fete des bigarades in the village of La Caunette in Herault 34 the weekendof 25th-26th Feb. The 6 main varieties will be on show. So must be some available then. Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
