Orange
Orange was a citrus fruit that grew on orange trees. They were eaten raw or squeezed to create orange juice.
The First Doctor was given Spanish oranges by Miguel de Cervantes. In 1400, while acting as the Lord of Misrule at Sonning Palace's Epiphany feast, he appeared to pull one from behind the ear of a bishop. A model fish on the table burst open to reveal more oranges. (AUDIO: The Doctor's Tale)
Oranges grew in the warm Mediterranean climate of the Duchy of San Martino in 15th century Italy. Sarah Jane Smith was picking and eating oranges when she was captured by members of the Cult of Demnos. (TV: The Masque of Mandragora)
