I only ever heard the verb “to fillet” used in reference to fish (or also meat). I’m pretty sure you can’t fillet an orange. I think this is because a Fillet is a piece of meat or fish and the verb derives from this…
How would you call the process then where you slice the “meaty” parts of the orange away from the skin like separating walls?
perhaps within the world of kitchens there is a proper word for it – although i worked in kitchens a bit when i was younger I was mainly KP-ing (being a kitchen porter) so I was doing basic stuff and i don’t know the words for more fancy processes
I’d just say something like “taking the pith and skin off the oranges segments”
so yeah if there is a handy verb i have no idea…
ok so it seems the every day word for citrus fruits is “to segment” or the more fancy word is “to supreme”. Never heard this before but if you google citrus supreme you’ll get videos showing you how to do it…
Just came here to read about “Mühe”, but you can definitely fillet citrus fruits. “Section” is more common, but dict.cc doesn’t even mention that option.
So I can “section the orange” and “fillet” it, right?
Yeah, exactly. Grapefruit too.
