Have decided to up the fruit 🍇 consumption in our house. Pleased with this mornings collection. Have berries in the fridge too.

Gorgeous! I suspect one of my cats would do the same if the pomegranate wasn't taking up so much space

The face on that cat!

@ContinuityError, sorry for the irrelevant question, but my DS us asking what your cat's name is. This is very important to him! Lol. Our fruit bowl contains three black bananas. Need to go to the shop to restock the apples,pears, grapes, satsumas, and melon

BuzzShitbagBobbly · 16/01/2020 11:23

I am always annoyed that "easy peelers" are clementines (yuk!) and never satsumas (yum!).

GoodnightJude1 · 16/01/2020 11:27

We have a fruit bowl but it only ever has avocado in it.
Everything else goes in the fridge. My food hell is a warm apple 😩

AnnieOH1 · 16/01/2020 11:40

We use 2 IKEA wooden crates on the foyer windowsill, plus a repurposed Easter egg hunt basket in the car. Berries go in the fridge, bananas don't last long enough to cause a problem although I do put a fake tomato shaped gas absorber in the baskets.

We always have apples, satsumas (or equivalent), bananas, grapes and a melon or two. Jaffa type oranges, pears, plums, pomegranates, pineapple, persimmon all cycle through regularly.

The car basket has 4 bananas, 4 apples and 4 or 8 small oranges as standard plus whatever we may have grabbed on way out. :)

ContinuityError I think you win the thread Grin

@chocolatepudandchocolatesauce

She’s called Stella. She likes to make like a banana.

If we get another cat I’d have to it call it Artois Smile

ContinuityError · 16/01/2020 11:43

Oh and black bananas are ideal for making into banana muffins.

Paddlinglikehell · 16/01/2020 12:05

Oh dear! Epic fail on the banana front. I didn’t notice all the apples have gone. Shopping today.

Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and grapes in the fridge.

I don’t want bananas hanging on my worktops, they’re too cluttered already, I can’t stand them in the fridge either.

Oh, that’s a lovely big basket, Paddling. So where are all the photos, guys?
I’ll need to tidy the kitchen first Grin bbl...

Thestrangestthing · 16/01/2020 12:27

Paddlinglikehell

Either your family loves oranges or you keep buying them and no one eats them, like in my house 😂

HolaWeenie · 16/01/2020 12:29

Bit of a sad sight actually. We do have bananas separately and grapes, strawberries, blueberries raspberries in the fridge, mango and pomegranate in the freezer.

Thestrangestthing · 16/01/2020 12:29

Mine used to be a bowl, it's now and wooden box I had spare and it fits more in. There was a melon, strawberries and a banana in there last night, but when my kids eat melon they want the whole thing 🙄

@Annie0H1
what's a tomato shaped gas remover? Do I need one? Where can I get one?

I can imagine lots of women quickly running out to their kitchen to prep an artistic fruit bowl to postGrin

YorkieTheRabbit · 17/01/2020 01:10

A stunt cat beats the stunt pineapple Grin
We’ve only got bananas in the fruit bowl. There is a melon in the fridge and some strawberries but they are now sat on top of the cheesecake I made this morning.

notsodimwit · 17/01/2020 02:50

@Pyjamaface Smile I like you plate/bowl! Very pretty!

notsodimwit · 17/01/2020 02:53

Going shopping tomorrow for lots of lovely fruit and will post a photo of my fruit bowl ( once I've removed all the sweets from it) Grin
