    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.
    my opinion has changed on the Olives and Grapefruit.
    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!

    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!

    I am completely jealous, as I am now highly allergic to them. Enjoy one for me, okay? I sniff them when I pass them in the market ... but that's all I can do. Nowhere near as satisfying as biting into a spoonful of grapefruit, feeling the little juice-pockets that comprise them burst in your mouth ....

    Oh Karen, stop! My mouth just watered and not because I want a grapefruit! LOL I had no idea what a stir I would cause w/this thread.

    I tried grapefruit once,and to be 100% honest i think i would rather go grab a handful of dirt outside and eat that.

    My mother eats them for every meal..I dont know how,But i think that is the way it is when you don't like something,You dont know why or how someone could eat something like that.

    I have only tried the one kind,Im open to trying anything different,But grapefruit is never on my grocery list.
