Grapefruits.



just peal 'em and eat 'em. You'll thank me. They are really quite tasty.

That Grapefruit is from Texas.

Do they brand everything down there?

meh.


Fruit I dig:

Limes
Lemons
Oranges
Bananas

and my favorite:

Avocado (or is it a vegetable?)

Avacado is a fruit; it has a stone.

I'm not a big fruit fan though. I do like apples and bananas and limes though.

yeah, avacadoes are good as well, but nothing tops a perfect grapefruit. Let us not forget the glory of the clementine either.

Should I call you "oldster" or wait for one of the young ones to do it?

Now you're talking.

No thanks.

kinda shocked that I never got a single soul to agree with me on the merits of grapefruits. just a wonderful burst of flavor in every bite. I highly recommend you grab yourself a delicious grapefruit today.

I've been having these every week now. Last week I had the best one of my life and almost started a thread about it. It was that good.



I've been waiting with great patience for this to become a reality but it looks like the sticker lobby has more clout that we imagined.

this thread is like 3 years old.

Mitchell is gonna be pissed guys.

I thought this thread was about me. 3 fucking years ago? Who remembers a thread about grapefruit they created three fucking years ago?????

didn't you guys hear? today's necro thread day.

When I can find them, I get the big tub o' grapefruit sections @ Costco. Saves you from all that tedious peeling, and it's just pure grapefruit.

grapefruits are terrible.

your taste sucks

Citrus at its worst.

I'm not a big fan of grapefruits, but I freaking love Izze grapefruit soda:

Grapefruit: Citrus for real men. None of this sissy-boy "Oooo it isn't sweet enough!" nonsense here. Either you dig that heavy, acidic flavor bath that, when accidentally rinsed down with milk produces the vilest flavor known to man, or you just can't take it.

This is like the 5th thread that he's bumped from forever ago. WTF?

I have a whole one everyday for lunch. No sugar or whatnot. Just eat it like an orange.

I love grapefruit, but hate getting to it. Luckily, those Fruit Naturals cups are available. You can get a box of 8 at Sam's for around $8. They are about 120-140 calories and sectioned for you already, yet taste like they just were cut this morning. Otherwise, I'd never spend my time trying to eat one (or oranges, for that matter).

The plural of grapefruit is grapefruit, ftr.

Hunter Thompson ate at least one grapefruit for breakfast pretty much every day. There is no higher endorsement.

I had one of these last week that turned out really bad. All stringy and gross. At every store I've gone to they cost more than a whole grapefruit and I don't know if you're getting more than half of one in the cup. Besides, I've grown to enjoy the ritual of cutting and sectioning a whole grapefruit while I'm still waking up in the morning.

Probably good as a healthy snack on the go but I don't see myself buying any more of these.

Well, that's the only way I eat them. I don't have time to cut one up, and I usually eat my fruit at work, so there's no way I could massacre a grapefruit in my suit and come out not needing to head directly to the dry cleaners. I rarely have a bad FN cup, though. Sorry you had a bad experience. They are far more expensive, but having it pre-sectioned is worth it for me.

When they are peeled, depithed, deseeded & the outer membranes removed they are called "Supremes" (pronounced like you're a Brit, not like you're talking about Diana Ross).

Mmmmm, that looks good. As do you, Freddie.

holy shit, onions and grapefruit? i couldn't dream a more vile concoction. what no milk for dipping?

That actually makes a really good salad: The astringency of the onions makes a nice counterpoint to the acidity of the grapefruit. Mom always used walnuts and not avacado, but I bet the creaminess of the latter gives interesting texture.

Shit, now I'm hungry.
