How to eat an Orange...Nicaraguan-style

Take the orange, and using a mechanical apple peeler, peel the orange until only a thin skin remains. Cut the top 1/4 off the top, eat the flesh from the top section, and suck all the juices out of the rest. Throw it out, wherever you are. This is how some people make their living, by peeling and selling oranges all day long, standing by the side of the road with their basket of oranges, peeler and machete. They think it's hilarious that we actually eat the flesh of an orange!

Sounds like Mexican style without the chile. In Mexico, they peel and eat them like that (on a stick) but cover them with lemon, salt and chile. I usually just stick to the lemon.
