supreme
v.— «Supreme the orange: Slice off the top and bottom 1/2″ of each orange, revealing the flesh. Cutting in sloping strips, use a sharp knife to remove the rest of the orange’s skin. Now cut the individual wedges apart into the bowl, leaving behind all pith. You’re left with just beautiful pieces of orange flesh.» —“Fall Fennel Salad” The Munching Muse Nov. 13, 2003.
