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.
