I haven't had one in like 5 years but I am eating one now and it's very tasty. I prefer eating them in segments though instead of cutting them in half and messing with the knoon/spife.

12/14/2009 4:00:47 PM

do you do supremes?

12/14/2009 4:06:35 PM

^^ i too eat mine in segments

12/14/2009 4:07:22 PM

I do supremes when I eat grapefruit. Then squeeze the remaining flesh in a glass and drank dat juice.

Fuck 'dem.

Juice Oranges are where it's at.

12/14/2009 4:07:48 PM

Yeah ... membranes are no bueno.

I finally learned to eat citrus

12/14/2009 4:09:00 PM

seems like a lot of effort to cut supremes

i only go with that if im concerned about presentation of a dish

i eat half a grapefruit every morning, but just cut in half and use the knoon

totally thought there were gonna be big tits itt

12/14/2009 4:11:10 PM

I can supreme a citrus fruit in no time. I did it for a dish in competition when I was in school, so I supremed like 16 oranges a day.

I can't eat grapefruit any other way now.

12/14/2009 4:11:41 PM

I don't cut them. I just kind of tear them. I think it's easier than a knoon, and less likely to end up with grapefruit squirtle in your eye.

12/14/2009 4:11:54 PM

oh, so you segment out more like an orange then

never done that

probably more efficent, the knoon tends to leave a lot of flesh

12/14/2009 4:13:15 PM

Yep, try it. It's the cool way to eat them.

12/14/2009 4:14:19 PM

a girl i used to date would douse a half a gf with white sugar

i never understood that

12/14/2009 4:15:41 PM

Yeah I dunno. People like their sugar and salt. I know a woman who sugars cantaloupe. Gross.

12/14/2009 4:16:52 PM

i can dig some fruit with salt

sprinkle some smoked sea salt on watermellon and im *drool*

12/14/2009 4:17:47 PM

I meant in general, not just on fruit. But yeah, watermelon and salt is good.

12/14/2009 4:19:13 PM

so at christmas we get like at least 4 boxes that are filled with grapefruit, oranges and pears (YUMMMM i love them)

but clearly this is an abundance of fruit, especially for 3 people. my brother doesn't like grapefruit and my dad can't eat it because of his medicine. so i'm the only one who can and will eat the grapefruit.

what are other ways to eat grapefruit (if there are any). or maybe i should make grapefruit juice with some of them? cause its wayyyyy too many for me to eat.

12/16/2009 3:16:35 PM

worst part about grapefruits = juice in the eye!!!



ahhhhhhhhh

12/16/2009 3:19:35 PM

you can top halves with brown sugar and broil them til its bubbly

12/16/2009 3:19:52 PM

I want to go into microbiology strictly to engineer some kind of disease or mutate a fungus that can wipe out the entire world's stock of grapefruit.

12/16/2009 3:22:31 PM

12/16/2009 3:22:43 PM

with sugar, brown sugar, and/or honey

yes please

12/16/2009 3:22:48 PM

^^^^ I saw somewhere the other day saying do the same thing (top it and broil) with bleu cheese.

no way. grapefruit is my favorite fruit. i love christmas cause we get so much of it. this year we have TOO much though.

12/16/2009 3:23:57 PM

grapefruit with bleu cheese?

12/16/2009 3:24:13 PM

pear is good with bleu cheese so grapefruit might be

i dunno though. pear is mild and bleu cheese isn't. but grapefruit isn't so that is two strong things togeth.

Grapefruit Pistachio Tart




The stunning colour of pink grapefruit with green pistachios is a spectacular and unexpected contrast on a dinner table.
