So, these ripe, juicy fruit, they seem to want to be peeled and eaten. They would be unfulfilled if they were not peeled and eaten: peeled, undressed, divested, and rendered open and vulnerable and ready to gush forth juice. Consider also the act of peeling an orange - penetrating the peel with thumbs and fingers, peeling it back and in that process enjoying the contact between hand-flesh and fruit-flesh, forcing hand-flesh against peel and fruit-flesh to strip away the peel and reveal the naked and ready inner flesh. Then the orange is eaten, bitten, sucked and the juice of its flesh tasted and savoured, then the fingers licked and sucked so as not to waste any pleasure.
