How do you eat fruit?

Marianne72

I have rituals with eating different types of fruit - do share yours! I put prepared fruit in a small bowl before eating:

1. bananas - remove skin, including the little pit and 'strings', cut into 2" chunks

2. apples - cut into four, slice off cores, then cut each into 2

3. grapes - take a small bunch and remove stems

4. mango - slice into 2, slice out the pit, eat rest with spoon

Pears are a special case, being notoriously unpredictable. They go from hard to mush in an indeterminate time. This fruit appears to be sentient, so the best approach is to saunter past the bowl nonchalently, careful not to 'eyeball' it [in the manner of David Attenborough and the gorillas]. On the return journey, casually stroke the skin and take a little prod [that way this naughty fruit is less aware of your interest]. Do the same every day - eave it a day and it's bound to be too late! On what seems an appropriate encounter, grab said fruit, quickly prepare and pop into your mouth to savour. Voila!

  • When I want to eat an apple; I put the apple on a chopping board and I use a manual Apple Slicer Corer utensil (Stainless Steel, 12 Wedges).

    This is what it looks like:

    There are ones which look similar, which produce only 8 wedges, however, I found they required an uncomfortable amount of manual pressure to cut through the apple.

    (There are slightly cheaper 12 wedges ones available with colourful pp plastic handles - which might better suit those needing some grip assistance).

    The only waste: the cylindrical core (which I add to my homemade composting bin).
