Scoring system

Apples one point each
Oranges/tangerines/satsuma one point
Bananas two points each
Grapes five points a bunch but must be over 20 grapes
Grapes in a bunch of fewer than 20 three points
Grapefruit 3 points
Peaches/plums/nectarines 2 points
Kiwi three points
Fruit that is in your fridge eg strawberries/raspberries/blueberries two points per variety
Lemons three points
Mangoes four points
Pineapples 6points
,melons 5 points

Other fruits (not including technically fruits but aren't really like tomatoes and cucumber ) one point each

Frozen and tinned fruit doesn't count. Nor does juice. Or dried fruit.

I am currently scoring 22 points. If I had thought of this twenty minutes ago I would have scored 25.

I’ve found some grapes on top of the microwave.

Nononononono33 · 17/05/2020 20:29

I’ve got golden kiwi fruit in my fruit bowl. They are really nice. Got them at Sainsbury’s (haven’t seen them outside NZ before)

Floralnomad · 17/05/2020 20:29

37 points all made up of grapefruits (5) , satsumas and 2 different sizes of orange .My dsis is doing my shopping at the moment so I’m only asking for essentials and I’m the only one who eats apples . Shopping is due again on Tuesday which will also include grapes . We rarely have bananas as they just don’t get eaten and end up having to be used 8n puddings .

viques · 17/05/2020 20:29

Around the world yes they each count
pickles 89 sorry, you will have to pick the lemons for them to count

Local fruiterers delivered a box today, I don't normally have that much.

BlueBooby · 17/05/2020 20:38

Besides occasionally adding lemon or lime juice and/or zest to things that I cook, I eat no fruit.

BlueBooby · 17/05/2020 20:39

Oh I do have some apples in the fridge for dd. I don't own a fruit bowl.

viques · 17/05/2020 20:39

vampirethriller I know she is considered a bit 2019 these days , but I think you need to read Marie Kondo, I think she mentions dog scissors as needing their own little labelled box . In fact I think she has brought out a range of scissor boxes in neutral shades to complement any decor, a bit like Kelly Hoppen stuff , but tasteful.

I have 2 bananas going black, one greenish satsuma and an avocado which is definitely past its best.

around the world

2 lemons is six points not 4.

I am not checking lists btw, I know you are honest and will not try to sneak any more cherry tomatoes through ( megaton,) but around the world's list caught my eye because it was so neat , I just know that around the world isn't the sort of person to have plasters , bike lights and dog scissors in her fruit bowl.
