    Peel and rind!

    Key is - the stuff has to be ROOM TEMP. Juice and the fruit is a lot sweeter. Yes, it's still tart - but I like that edge!

    Ok, well, I have some grapefruit left so I'm going to brave up and try some at room temperature and also grilled w/brown sugar. After that, if I still don't like it, I'm done forever w/a clear conscience that I tried one of God's fruits and, as grateful as I am for variety, it's just one fruit that isn't for me. I'll let you know if I like or dislike it.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    It doesn't grow on a vine, doesn't look anything at all like grapes, doesn't taste like grapes....so, WTF?

    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......
