  • Grapes/kiwis in the fridge when bought normally in season and everything else in the fruit-bowl.

  • Most of our fruit goes in the fruit bowl. But apples,grapes,strawberries etc go in the fridge. The bananas go under the cupboard they seem to keep better there. HTH.

  • Bananas keep best when hanging and not in contact with anything and Morrisons now actually sell a purpose made free-standing hook for bananas in their utensils section.

    When I lived in Spain the bananas kept for at least 2 weeks in a bowl, here you're lucky if they last more than two days before wilting and turning black.

    MSP I was just about to point that out about bananas apparently they give off a "toxin" that makes other fruit die quicker, I keep all fruit in the bowl except strawberries,which I take out an hour before I plan to eat them I hate really cold fruit, don't think its as tasty.

    I like a nowl too. I'm with you, Iwanttosave, I hate cold fruit. Room temperature, or straight from the plant in a warm strawberry patch.

    I always put my babies in the strawberry patch when we pick, and they spend a cheerful hour stuffing their faces, adorable.

    I hang my nanas in my porch, cos it's cool. They keep extremly well.
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.
