Grapefruit
« on: April 07, 2016, 08:03:05 am »
I love grapefruit!
How do you eat your grapefruit?

I peel mine like an orange and eat it that way.

When I was a kid, mom cut the grapefruit in half and we had special "grapefruit" sppon that had serrated edges to use to scoop out the sections.

I still eat grapefruit like your mother served it, cut in half using the serrated spoon...with a little sugar sprinkled on top.  I have four of those spoons if you want borrow one. Ha!

I use to not like them because they were bitter but I grew up getting use to the flavor and really like them now.

I would still cut it in half and use the little "grapefruit" spoons but I haven't eaten in a long time because supposedly it was a problem with one of my medicines which recently changed to a different one.  I should check with the pharmacy to see if I can eat now because I love pink grapefruit.

I don't mind grapefruit in drinks if it's mixed with other juices. I never could get past the taste of it. It's a little too tart for me.

I eat it like your mom did with a 'special' spoon. I put a teaspoon of sugar on it.  I also like pink grapefruit.

I haven't had a grapefruit in a very long time...   but normally halved with brown sugar on top, eaten with that special serrated spoon.

I love Grapefruit,,,  regular  or pink.  I guess I like the sourness  of it.

I haven't had grapefruit since last summer. Thanks for reminding me how delicious it is. I'll have to pick up some soon.  :)
I usually eat it in small peeled sections or with a spoon.

I only like the pink grapefruit and I eat it with a spoon or cut it and squeeze it like a lemon and put the juice in a glass and drink up.

I haven't had grapefruit in so long but I normally would cut it in half, get a spoon with a little sugar and eat it that way.

I don't really care for it.  It is too tart and sour.  And if you add enough sugar to make it sweet then it defeats the purpose of eating fruit.
