2 x pears (aged, no hope that anyone will eat)
1 x kiwi (starting to wrinkle)
1 x banana - perfect
3 x satsumas
1 x plum (do people even eat plums at this time of year?)
1 x cycling helmet
1 x woolly hat
1 x asthma inhaler

Thank you to DH for the latter three items.

Satsumas, apples, pears, oranges, bananas, guava, pineapple and garlic Hmm

CinnamonEstella · 29/11/2021 18:49

A banana and a bramley apple. But I keep most fruit in the fridge so we also have a few sad looking red grapes, one orange, one satsuma and five clementines

ErrolTheDragon · 29/11/2021 18:49

Some bags of nuts.

The fruit is in the fridge. If we had any bananas they'd be in the bowl but everything else keeps better and tastes nicer cold.

mamaduckbone · 29/11/2021 18:57

9 apples, including a couple that have definitely seen better days, six satsumas, 3 bananas and the peg bag. Like you OP I have Dh to thank for that.

AmyDudley · 29/11/2021 18:57

MrsPleasant

I think that what you've got there is a vegetable bowl you have accidentally put a couple of bits of fruit in Grin

thefirstmrsrochester · 29/11/2021 18:59

Couple of tangerines and the contents of a handbag my daughter tipped out to borrow, so pens, makeup, and hair bands.

cobblers123 · 29/11/2021 18:59

5 pears that after a week in the bowl are still too hard to eat. Won't buy them again as it's not the first time this has been the case with them.

Back to buying grapes and Gala apples tomorrow then.

Bananas, apples, avocados, cherry tomatoes and a pack of Christmas mixed nuts with dried fruit!

TheProvincialLady · 29/11/2021 19:02

I’m astonished that people keep vegetables in their fruit bowls - despite having pharmaceuticals and cycling equipment in mine Hmm

Pan lids.
The only fruit I have is a kids bag of apple slices.
I am due to go shopping though tbf, but never buy whole fruit, just pre-cut bags/tubs.

5 apples
3 bananas
2 AA batteries
