How Do You Eat Your Fruit

Is there any better way to trigger off childhood memories than by making a banana sandwich, with the banana lavishly sprinkled with brown sugar?

Is there a quicker way to make your throat close than to spot a toddler fishing out from his glass of coke the obligatory slice of lemon, shaking it dry and then sucking it!

The only fruits I really love and could eat every day are strawberries,raspberries and cherries,unfortunately these are usually more expensive than other fruits.

I make myself eat apples and bananas every day because they are good for me and add to my 5 a day,but I can't say I enjoy them that much.I like stewed apple,preferably with custard,but not raw apples.

We start off the day with fruit smoothies, which is the only way I can get lots of fruit into my eldest. I throw in anything I can find, but always include blueberries. I keep lots of frozen soft fruits in the freezer. I sieve as the littleuns don't like the seeds. Delicious! :T

Just when you mention blueberries, I gave some to dd when she was very small; she ate the inside and spat the skin out Same with grapes!

We both love fruit and eat it either as it comes (depending on the fruit, pineapple, etc gets peeled!), or chopped up into a fruit salad.

I do love watermelon with feta cheese though

Watermelon would be OK if it wasn't for those seeds.....I like ordinary melons but they make my breathing go all wheezey

I usually make my DS a little fruit platter for their supper. It generally consists of a selection of what comes in my fruit box delivery, with some yoghurt and/or honey to dip it into. I have lots of little themed bento foodpicks to spike them with (the fruit not the kids!!)

I quite often include any fruit that has been leftover in their lunch boxes to get it used up.

Apples are generally sliced into rings and soaked in a vit C tab to stop them going brown.

ooh banana split just popped into my head thinking about fruit ... I'm off to make one now. I can't resist a nice big banana!

I just eat them usually, good quality fruit doesn't need much doing to it though.

One thing that's really nice though is to slice a banana lengthwide then sprinkle sugar on top, run a blowtorch over it to caramelise the sugar. Delicious with a little vanilla ice cream on the side.

strawberries are quite nice dipped in balsamic vinegar of all things!

LOL @ how fussy some of you peeps are about fruit. Can I join the gang too? I only ever eat fruit once it has been cut up into bite size pieces which I then eat from a plate with a fruit fork. The MATHLETTS taunt me something chronic about it but then they find my need for a Napkin (never a serviette:eek::D) just to eat a biscuit weird too.LOL
