    Count me in as one who likes grapefruit. I don't buy it much because it is a lot of work to section it out. I guess I am just lazy. The last time I had some in the house hubby said "are YOU planning to cut some grapefruit tonight?" Of course he loves it but doesn't want to go to the trouble. My kids were served it early in life and never batted an eye about the tartness. I used to actually make my own grapefruit juice popsicles (using those little plastic popsicle maker thingies). My son would take his outside and eat it right along with the other kids who were eating store bought popsicles and didn't bat an eye. He loved them. In fact he told me just a few nights ago he wished he had a popsicle maker so he could make his own again.

    In Jr High School we had "Home Ec" (home economics) that gurls had to take (boys had "shop", I was jealous) but one of the first things tried was 1/2 grapefruit with brown sugar on top briefly broiled.. I LOVED IT!! But of course I had eaten grapefruit all my life and I'm in the I LOVE IT bandwagon...

    OMG, Laurie, were we in the same class? Could be - I had Home Ec and the boys had shop. Years after we moved to Calif. some people came to visit us from Ohio. I about fainted - it was the "shop" teacher from my high school.

    Grapefruit - gotta tell you - I have always loved it. It is great with some avocado and thousand island dressing............very pretty too.

    Sounds lovely! It is also great mixed with crabmeat, and a slightly spicy dressing.

    Nobody exploded a grapefruit yet?
