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

What on earth are you doing with them:eek: Maybe you should just try eating them:rotfl:;)

I will happily eat fruit "as is", but sometimes I cut it up for DH's lunch. A couple of times a year I will make a fruit crumble which we'll have with custard, but it's usually virgin fruit for us!

My absolute favorite is raspberries straight off the bush, or strawberries, or blueberries, mmmmm.

The only fruit I don't have any desire to try is durian.

British novelist Anthony Burgess writes that eating durian is "like eating sweet raspberry blancmange in the lavatory." Travel and food writer Richard Sterling says "its odor is best described as pig-sh**, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock".

I love water melon in the summer months when I have been pottering in the garden it's very refreshing on a hot summer day...:D

I have to be very careful eating fruit as I don't have a colon any more. Anything too fibrous can block my ileostomy
I tend to eat tinned fruit these days plus the odd banana as they are very soft. Can't enjoy a lovely crunchy apple any more.

i'm not a massiver fruit eater in the winter months but i eat a lot of veg but my Ds (3yo) eats copious amounts of fruit and will rather happily eat a fruit salad for lunch over everything else his favs are pomegranate, blueberries, mango, melon, banana's but i am finding it really expensive at the moment to feed his fruit addiction as everythings gone up in price.

would stewed apple be a compromise for you annie, or is it the fibre rather than the texture of the apple that causes the problems?

hope you're making a good recovery :kisses3:

I carefully peel my banana, in the same way i would caress a large phallus, then, I nibble at the end of the banana before taking some long bites, making sure each bite deep throats me EVERY time. Then I discard the banana skin!

It's things that don't digest very well that can cause blockages, like fruit peel/potato skins/nuts/dried apricots etc.
I like stewed apple, and would be able to eat that without any problem if it had been peeled. Not the same as a lovely crunchy one htough.

Thanks, i am a lot better now:) can't wait to go back to work

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

Nothing wrong with the fruit bit, not sure about the needing a napkin to eat a biscuit though - you sound very "proper" and well brought-up :rotfl:

It's rather quaint that, table-manners that belong to a bygone age :T

My favourite ever way to eat fruit is to simply slice a kiwi fruit in half, then scoop out the insides with a teaspoon, best snack possible! Sadly I've become alergic to kiwi fruit over the last year or so (my mum became allergic to kiwi in her early 20s after eating it all her life too, how strange is that?!) so I can't do this anymore, despite my cravings. I'd also recommend frozen bananas, just remove them from their skins, wrap in cling film and freeze. Can be eaten like an ice lolly or left to defrost for 20 mins and they're nice and soft like ice cream. I hear they're great with a bit of melted chocolate on them too, combo of hot and cold makes for a great pud!

I try to be inventive with my fruit as it's most of my diet, today breakfast was a big 500g box of red and green grapes, and lunch is a huge fruit salad of strawberries, apples, pears, oranges, blueberries, raspberries and more grapes soaked in cranberry juice with mint leaves and a splash of lemon juice, makes a little change from the usual orange juice.
