Apples or Oranges?
Because you just can't compare the two.

If it was apples vs. citrus, citrus would kick apple's sorry ass, no contest. I love grapefruits, I eat raw lemons on a semi-regular basis, and I cook many meals with lemon and lime (the fruit or the juice). But orange is probably my least favorite of the citrus fruits and it just doesn't hold up to a good Fuji apple.
I should note that one of my favorite flavor combinations on the entire planet, however, is orange + chocolate.

Okay, what the fuck.
Apples are better than oranges (especially the Red Delicious kind), but tangerines are better than them both.

It's a cultural thing. Believe it or not, people the world over used to eat lemons. Crazy, I know.

My only beef with oranges is the skin isn't particularly palatable. Apples, if you're starved you can even down the core, but oranges have too much cellulose (I presume?) to be an all-in-one meal.

I like apples a lot more than oranges, because they're more versatile. When's the last time you had orange pie, or orange cider, or orange butter? I'm sure these exist, but they're nowhere near the quality as their apple counterparts.
(Also, I'm with Talon in that I eat raw lemons occasionally.)

Tangarines/Mandarin Oranges win out hands down. Mango and papaya are second, with pineapple and Pomegranate very close behind.
But generally apples are better than general oranges, not as much work required to eat them. >.< And no yucky pulp in apples either. Oranges are good though, and I love orange juice (with pulp! strangely enough) better then apple juice. Orange Chocolate is also very good. |

This is tough. Oranges taste way better than apples, but they're cursed with a skin that is ridiculously tedius to peel and enjoy. Orange Juice is the drink of the gods, but applesauce and caramel apples and apples with peanut butter all exist...
This is a matter of quality vs. convinience. Oranges taste 50x better in every way, but apples are 50x more convenient and versatile... It's a tough one. I think I'll go with Oranges, simply because the juice is so magical. |

also, Oranges simply taste better- I mean, the funny thing is that you see red apples all of the time, but they are quite possibly the shittiest fruit on earth, meanwhile, Oranges that are advertised usually taste excellently. Not to mention that Oranges are more convenient to move around and such. When it comes to cooking however (not soda, juice, ect.) Apples are the superior actual dining dish, but otherwise, Oranges are far better. |

Citrus fruits > Apples
Why is this even a question? |

Culturally, oranges represent prosperity while apples can be grim (because apparently apple trees are oddly common at cemeteries), but as something I eat, I'd take apples.

Just putting it out there, I really do not like apples. Only apple pie.
And Applejack. |

Oranges are great when they're really tart (tangerines basically), but apples are also great when they're a nice balance of tart and sweet.
I mostly prefer apples, since they're more filling, and the fact that the apple pie I make is delicious. |

She doesn't taste like apples either.
Unless... *thinks* Anyway, apples are better. oranges have a tendency to raise sores on my tongue. Allergic reaction maybe? |

The only time I've ever eaten lemon peel is:
