Default Kiwi Fruit
They just sit there looking like khaki and smug ...then shed loads of miniscule little hairs everywhere so you have to dust a foot radius around wherever you have put them......

I guess they are good for you...and they are very very pretty to look at when you cut them in half.....

I know Ticia ...but you just start enjoying them when ...you get these wee black pips annoying your teeth and if you crush them ...they are all sour...

....am traumatised beause I have ended up with a dozen today and they are in my line of vision....I tried to put them in fortified high bowl...but was told they would wither and die...

Which reminds me how horrid they are if they get left...then they go all gungy....

Then eat them quickly. Wonder if there's a kiwi de-pipper gadget on the market? You could be on to something there Neph

Only you Starshine......


If you leave them out they go mushy ...if you put them in the fridge they go solid and the pips are like needle tips....

Neph...you seem so traumatized. Look, either dip the buggers in melted chocolate and eat 'em whole or put them in the sun for a week or so and smoke 'em.
Really quite simple.
