Try a strawberry cut in half with a sprinkling of black pepper, it would be better when it is in season though. I like to eat a pear cut up with some stilton cheese. A ripe peach, I would just dig in.

Open mouth, stick fruit in, chew, swallow, Bob's your uncle!!!!

Seriously, I'm such a philistine I eat the entire apple or pear (the core is roughage:D ) I probably prefer most fruit just as it is. I can't think of fruit without thinking of visiting DH's Dad and Stepmum before we were married, she offered me the fruit bowl, I chose a pear. I'd just sunk my teeth into it when she returned with a tea-plate, paper doily and fruit knife!:eek: Gee, was I embarrassed:o

I have strawberries, sliced with a pinch of sugar then topped with Greek yoghourt, banana dipped in yoghourt, kiwi fruit peeled chopped and eaten with a cocktail stick, black cherries just as they are but by the bag full.
I don't eat apples, they make me feel hungry

Fruits ferment in the stomach very quickly and should always be eaten in between meals. We eat ours as a fruit plate mid morning or mid afternoon and it is simply, assorted chopped fruits on a plate. It is delicious and keeps the munchy pangs away. It is quite a full plate and we usually put 3-4 different fruits on there. Yesterday we had blood orange, apple, kiwi and pear. Today will be pineapple, kiwi, apple and orange

Whenever I can, I don't bother peeling (apart from bananas, pineapples, oranges, kiwis, pomegranates). Everything else - apples, pears, peaches/nectarines, apricots, plums, damsons, grapes just go down 'as they come'! I love fruit - but some of it does 'set my teeth off' - not keen on 'sharp/hard apples' like Granny Smiths. It's never in the house long enough to get 'made' into something - apart from if we've overbought on apples and then they just become apple sauce and get frozen for when we have pork.

Tomorrow will be apple, pear, blood orange and kiwi

the Next Day will be pear, blood orange, kiwi and apple

The Following Day will be kiwi, apple, pear, blood orange

Olliebeak you and I have alot in common! (I only ever buy the types of apple I like - Red delicious and Fuji being favourites. Hard but juicy and sweet. It might not sound OS but I know they will be eaten. Uneaten and wasted fruit isn't OS).

I wash and quarter fruits such as apples and pears, but don't peel. Spartan apples from my tree are nice.
Oranges/melon are peeled and then cut into slices and eaten with a fork.
I'm not fond of fresh apricots (though I love them in every other form)
Cherries are my "one indulgence" (quote Candleford!!) at the moment, but only in season.

PS I don't know if it's a local thing but Tesco are selling their frozen fruits half price (99p) at the moment....

Rhubarb, cherries, bramley apple and bramble, tropical fruits and I think blackberries.

me too, I wish I loved it but i do make myself eat it. I quite like melon, mango and bananas. Cant abide fruit with seeds like raspberries and blackberries or sharp fruit.
