What is tje difference between clementines, satsumas and tangerines?

[nungate]

I think the clementine is a hybrid of some sort Daisy. Why do we not see any mandarin oranges in the fruit aisles? They only seem to be in tins these days..........

You really are a pip!

(sorry for the deviation, Daisy!)

According to the Times the other day, satsumas are called clementines if you are middle class :)

[starone]

I thought it was the number of pips in each type (and don't ask me which type because I don't know)

Oh dear, does that mean that the box of satsumas I bought in Marks the other day should now be redesignated as clementines?
