Grapefruit is vile!

I LOVE grapefruit!! I love to peel it like an orange and eat the slices. It's an aquired taste, I guess.

I LOVE pink and red grapefruit.

what color did you have? I have never tried white

I've never heard of eating it without sugar on top. Way to sour without
the sugar. I don't eat it that often. I like oranges better.

Put me in the "I hate Grapefruit" camp. Taste lilke penicillin to me....bleech!

I love grapefruit!!!

If you really dislike it, juice it together with oranges.

I would say three oranges to one grapefruit, so you can't really taste it as much!

As a Floridian I've eaten many grapefruits (we used to have a grapefruit tree in our backyard along with oranges - now we only have a lemon tree.) YUMMY with sugar on them!

I miss having grapefruit. Sliced in half with a little sugar sprinkled on it - yummy! Of course, now I am allergic to grapefruit, so that's no longer possible. But I do gaze longingly at them as I walk by them in the supermarket!

Medusa, maybe you got a bad one, and others might be better?

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.

Grapefruit - Breakfast of Grandparents!



Grammy bought Grapefruits by the bushel basket - or so it seemed.

By age 5 - I could dig into an un-sectioned 1/2 Grapefruit without assistance -
and usually without dumping the darn thing in my lap.

There was not such thing as Breakfast at Grammy & Boppa's without the manditory
1/2 Grapefruit in a Bowl as the first course.

If Boppa *made faces* after digging out his first section, it was OK to ask for sugar on top -
BUT, if HE liked it *plain* - that's the way everyone was supposed to eat it!
He never bought the idea some of us had a "tart one". "They all came off the same tree!"

You KNEW what was being served for breakfast IF the distinctive
Grapefruit Spoon >>>

Was on the dining room table!

And Grammy had the Grapefruit KNIFE, too - to help the less-skilled in loosening the
fruit section from the grip of the rind and membrane. >>>

This almost (ALMOST) makes me wanna dash out and buy a Grapefruit.
