Kiwis - How do you eat yours?

byrnenj

After eating 2 Kiwi Fruit i have been perplexed. It has suddenly occured to me that i fdon't klnow much about them. So here is a poll for kiwi eaters :

do you :

1. not eat kiwi fruit at all?
2. chop you kiwi's in half and eat the with a spoon?
3. eat the whole thing, hairy skin and all?
4. eat them in some other strange way?

Just like I'd eat a boiled egg.

byrnenj

you chop a boiled egg in half....crazy!!

Bard

I don't eat them at all.

They're gick.

TacT

well you'll be glad to know that eating the hairy slimeballs the way I do (hairy skin and all) is vg for you.

Apparently the skin has some nutrients which are meant to help in the prevention of cancer in many forms

byrnenj

i used to think that, but now i'm a true Kiwi fan...yummie.
Try them...you'll like them

As fruit goes, why would you have a kiwi when there are plums oranges and watermelons out there?

byrnenj

Kiwis Rock!

Plums...there ok, oranges are boring, watermelons..mmmm....bit watery.

Yeah Kiwi fruit rocks, they actually contain more vitamin C than oranges do.
I eat em all ways and like to chop them up into small bits and put them in my cereal in the morning, bran flakes is a good cereal for them, mixed with chopped banana is nice too.

Clinical Waste

Actually there is a special spoon for eating Kiwi fruits, saw it in NZ once. (Its green, plastic & smaller than normal & I failed to see how it was 'special' but it exists nevertheless.)

Also I was told not to eat the hairy bit couse birds like to rub their bits on it for a good scratching (load of BS probably but still I don't do it just in case)

Besides I'm more a mango-man. There is no substitute.

byrnenj

Not too sure about eating the hairy bit now...that kinda worries me.

TacT

all ya have to do is rince and rub that scum off

Oeneus

I eat the whole thing except for that hard bit on the top.

They taste vile when they're broused!

Pine needles contain lots of Vitamin C too I'm told.
I'll take my kiwis thank you
Egg method, sliced with skin or whole. Depends on how much time I have/whether i can be arsed preparing it.

Your perfectly right, they do taste very ick when bruised too

Khynareth

peel them and bite, as I would do with an orange...
Never tried the skin... Lucky as I am, I would probably choke on them...

byrnenj

Sounds messy!!

Beef

Chop it down the middle and scoop the good stuff out of each half with a spoon! i'm goin for one now. Done and done!:D
