    Going to be honest, I'm into proper food but I can't really abide bones - so chicken breast or boned thighs not wings or drumsticks. No ribs. I really don't like gnawing things.

    It's not silly, it's a preference, just as some people don't like tomatoes or beans or anything else.
    I understand your dislike of bones is a preference. I like meat on the bone as the flavour is better. I just cut the meat away from the bone (yes, even chicken wings) with my ordinary table knife. My mother was
    very much against gnawing of bones, as she always said “you’ve got a knife, so there’s no need to eat like a dog”.
     
    @singhini interesting that you eat banana and kiwi skins: do you cook them? and if so, how do you prepare them? Do you just rinse them first, or scrub them as one would an apple?
    I went through a phase of eating kiwi skins for the fibre- I just ate the whole thing (apart from the hard end) like an apple. I did choose the less hairy ones when I did this and a lot of people stared if I ate them like this in public. I've not eaten banana skins, though I think they can be cooked.

    There's a Nigella recipe using banana skins in a curry!  Not tried it but who knows it might be good!

    Kiwi - just eat the kiwi with the skin on (i cut off the tiny head and tail bit and give them a wipe with my hands but thats it).

    Banana skin - again cut the head and tail out and you can just eat them (they can be a little tough if the banana is not over ripe). If the banana is ripe or very ripe i blend the skin and fruit in a food processor and either add it to my oats or put it into a basic cake mix and bake as a cake (flour/butter/sugar/egg mix)
