ok I can't believe I (me of all people) am going to say this.
But I bought a grapefruit on Sat. I *think* it was just a plain ol' grapefruit not Ruby Red or anything - the insides weren't real pink/red.
I cut it in half and doused both halves with lots of sugar and let it set for awhile - sectioned it and took a tentative bite. And I liked it so much I ate BOTH halves!!!
I was eating it thinking - I can't believe I am doing this. I have had a hate/hate relationship with grapefruit all my life!
Grapefruit IS vile. Totally. That is one food I would only eat if I were starving to death ... maybe.
Grapefruit, olives and onions ... three foods that I can't smell or think about, let alone eat.
Ewwwwww......
onions- yepper - EEWWWWWW most of the time I have to REALLY be in the mood.Quote:

I've come to love black AND green olives in the last 5 years.
I dunno why b/c before I thought they were the devil's appetizer!

Olives and onions? NAAAH....maybe a FEW onions grilled with a steak, or disguised as onion rings...
They don't agree with my tummy, unfortunately...
I like to eat fruit in their natural state w/out a lot of sugar. I try not to eat sugar at all but I do confess to having an Oreo addiction. I love onions and olives, though not black olives. Green olives stuffed w/jalapeno peppers, now that's good eatin'!
medussa you don't know what you're missing - I could live on grapefruit, and I never put sugar on them. Ordinairy or pink I just plain love grapefruits.
I'm with Medusa... grapefruit is vile. And Phred, my grandmother used to eat it with a grapefruit spoon - serrated at the tip, just like the photo in your post. I'm not a fan of citrus fruit in general. I'd rather have a mango, thanks.
Only one person mentioned medication interactions so I thought I'd bring it back up (I'm a nurse). Here is a pretty detailed list.

Not bring it back up, at least not in that context! I thought I'd mention it again.Quote:

So, I've been thinking about grapefruit since this thread started but haven't actually bought any. My mother went to Florida last week and came back with tangerines and a bag of grapefruit. She said that they didn't have oranges at this time of the year. I was scared because I don't like the tang of grapefruit, but I thought I would try part of one with some of the suggestions in this thread. It was pretty good. I actually ate the whole thing. I did put sugar on it but it wasn't tart at all. I don't know what kind they are. I don't think they are ruby red though. I don't like the skins on the slices. Next time I think I may try eating it a different way. But I will eat it again. It was probably a much better evening snack for me than the alternative of ice cream would have been...not in taste, but in nutritional value.
Way to ruin some good sugar.:pQuote:

Because of this thread I'm now addicted to grapefruit! Because of this thread I bought my first grapefruit (didn't care for them as a kid) and I was just FLOORED when I took my first bite of a Texas pink grapefruit. It was the most delicious thing EVER. I buy a bag of graperfruits every time I go grocery shopping now. Quinn loves them, too. She always wants to share grapefruit with mommy, and sometimes she is able to eat an entire grapefruit and I have to cut myself another one. YUMMY!
