The other day I started thinking about what foods come in the color orange. Here’s what came to mind:
1. carrots
2. apricots
3. pumpkin pie
4. sweet potatoes
5. acorn squash
6. marmalade
7. oranges (makes you wonder why that wasn’t first; doesn’t it?)
8. orange juice
9. tangerines
10. peaches
11. Colby cheese
12. cheese puffs
13. egg yolks
This proved tougher than I thought, though I doubtless missed some obvious ones. Writing them as they popped into my head, I found it interesting how my mind clung to fruit when I got desperate. And technically, peach is its own color but it's my list. So there.
Not to mention Fanta and orange Jell-o.
ReplyDeleteVery fun, Darla. Happy New Year!
And let's not forget my personal favorite: clementines.
ReplyDeleteAlso, orange soda and fuzzy navels... do drinks count?
The color we call peach isn't really the color of peaches anyway, so I would say it belongs on the list. Not that you were taking a vote or anything. Now you have me thinking of papaya, persimmon, various melons that are orange inside... I'm getting hungry. Gotta go check the fridge.

I appreciate the kind words! Now I'm hungry and thirsty. :)
