Kiwi fruit

[Mike Ayling]

These American sourced ones are much smaller than the previous ones we were getting from a source that I don't recall.

I have never been a fan of them. They taste of nothing and have too many seeds.

Same here. They're as bland as co-op own brand mineral water.

I like them, and they are very good for you. The ones I bought from the Co-op this week are from Italy.

Well that is saving on the transport. They may be good for you. But they are not good for the enviroment, especially the non organic ones.

I don't mind them, but unfortunately, they remind me of the egg things in the Alien films. 😱

They are nice when properly ripe. the kiwi gold ones even have no hair so you can eat the skin without feeling like you're munching on a homeless man's beard

Deliscious fruit, really good for you too, including the skin.

@steveindenmark , whilst I do have some sympathy with your point, do you only eat food from your immediate environs?

I like 'em, but they take up to a fortnight to ripen. My cousin (a professional chef) taught me to eat them like a hard boiled egg: cut the top off, and scoop out the inside with a teaspoon, but they're seldom ripe enough to do that.

How did you eat them before you received that advice?

I am somewhat concerned that you know what munching on a homeless man's beard actually feels like!!

I never had.

(I didn't mean to say hard boiled egg, I meant a soft one.)

Quite, I always prefer to shave mine first.

I imagine they have few buyers so landed here. Or maybe it was that short lived trade agreement that got them here.
One to watch out for.

Kiwi are becoming a regular buy/eat for me in recent weeks, including eating the skin, bag of six from Tesco ~£1.20 iirc.
