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.

A collection of fruit-shaped stress balls. The actual fruit is in the fridge.

In one fruit bowl
Pears
Apples
Walnuts
Hazelnuts

(all of the above from our own trees)
2 keys that are useless(1x car scrapped 12+yrs ago and 1x door replaced around same time)but have always been there, just hanging out in the bottom of the bowl together.

In the other bowl
Satsumas and clementines
2 large oranges
1 grapefruit
4 lemons

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

I don't so much keep vegetables in my fruit bowl as find vegetables in it, whilst having no clue how they got there - it is one of life's mysteries.

EwwSprouts · 29/11/2021 19:06

4 apples & 3 satsumas
bunch of grapes in the fridge

Coronado2 · 29/11/2021 19:07

I don't think I've ever had a fruit bowl since I've had my own house, I didn't realise so many people did. Like a previous poster we keep our fruit in the fridge.

I imagine if I had a fruit bowl it would end up being somewhere I put the random things the children left laying around the kitchen, so maybe that's why I don't have one 😁

Half a banana
Two knackered cherry tomatoes
Some ancient shrivelled up heads of garlic
An even more shrivelled ancient pomegranate
A bootlace
An empty shotgun cartridge

PickAChew · 29/11/2021 19:09

2 bananas, 4 apples and a couple of shrivelled satsumas. I chucked the kiwi fruit that had been there so long it had turned into a water bomb.

TuftyMarmoset · 29/11/2021 19:09

4 bananas and a pack of contraceptive pills

doggydaft · 29/11/2021 19:10

I've got a wire double rack thing so on the top shelf is 3 bananas, 2 mac red apples and some wrinkly easy peelers.
On the bottom however is 2 dog leads, a collar, roll of poo bags, yumove joint supplements (for dogs) vitamin d, multivitamins and berocca ( for people)
There are also a couple of stray hair bobbles and a letter from the bank.....I should really tidy up 🤣

Bortles · 29/11/2021 19:10
  1. An avo, 4 tangerines, 1 orange, 1 apple, a conker, a dice and two pokemon figures.

Bluntness100 · 29/11/2021 19:12

Some bananas for dh. I'm not a massive fruit eater, so mainly just have frozen for when the mood strikes, to put into porridge.

Two grapefruits, two apples, four tomatoes, and an avocado. A banana and a pineapple next to the fruit bowl and nine satsumas in the box they came in.

DillDanding · 29/11/2021 19:16

Lemons and limes. This is all there ever is in there. We don't even use them, they just get replaced once a week.

Purplelion · 29/11/2021 19:21

Loads of satsumas
5 Kissabel apples
4 kiwis
3 bananas
A few lemons and limes

I didn’t realise until I read this the read that people keep grapes in their fruit bowl?! Don’t they go soft?

Mimilamore · 29/11/2021 19:23

A cat and a satsuma...

DeathMetalMum · 29/11/2021 19:25

4/5 just ripe bananas and one over ripe
2 limes
Bag of apples
Punnet of plums
6 kiwi fruit
Some individually wrapped face wipes/tissues from fast food place.

Pascha · 29/11/2021 19:29

Very basic satsumas and apples. Bananas off to the side. Shopping arrived earlier hence mess.
