Probably not the same-- but a couple years ago we could get [in NY] a
rather ugly orange. The color was green/orange, the skin was kind of
smooth, and they were smaller than most oranges, with lots of
blemishes. I figured any orange that be *that* handicapped in the
appearance department had to be pretty tasty to make its way to a NY
market.

I was right. Seems like there was 'honey' in the name, and these
guys were sweet as honey. Only saw them for one season, though.
Can't be everyone saw them the same way I did.
