What does that mean? What is "fruit prepared"?

Cut up for me, core removed. Peeled if appropriate :o

Edit...goole image, not dh's offerings to me!

Peeled, cut up into small chunks, seeds / cores / etc removed. Depends on the fruit.

I actually love my fruit prepared:o.

DH often does me a 'fruit plate' for breakfast or a meal when I'm not eating what I've cooked. Its quite a loving act, that small consideration.:o

I can't justify this logically, but that seems to me far less weird than 12 girls sitting either side of a long table all using fruit knives, pointlessly.

Yep. Exactly.

If I serve fruit as breakfast, I serve a fruit platter, a fruit soup, or a fruit ' salad' or fruit. I suppose I expect people to 'eat like monkeys, but I prep apples. I rarely eat oranges mainly because I hate peeling them . And just for me doesn't seem worth it. DH peels them for me. I wouldn't expect him to do it with a knife and segment them.

I've never had fruit prepared for me then. Nor would I bother doing that for myself. By the time you've faffed with it, you could have eaten it.

Same with most veg we cook, no? Just eat crudite!

It just 'feels' nicer.

I don't suppose its as good for the jaw or something though

Didn't know there were such things.... off for another google....

It's like a normal table / dinner knife, but smaller and a bit curved at the end (only a little bit).

You get fruit forks, too - they are quite a lot smaller than normal forks, and have 2 tines rather than more.

Does he peel your grapes?

I hate being old, I stood and twisted from sitting this morning and pinched a nerve in my back so I am now as stiff as a board and in quite a lot of pain each time I move...then again I first strained my back and had it stiffen up like this when I was 16 so I guess maybe the old bit is not the only cause. I'm going to put the dinner on and cut the grass in the hope that moving will help matters.

Lol, NO! Although we have peeled each others on occasion.

DW cores and slices two apples for me *every* day. That way she knows that I will eat at least two portions a day of fruit and veg. That's very loving of her. And practical. She puts them in a plastic bag. I guess I'm a lucky bunny.
