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.

4 lemons. I’m not keen on fruit.

Xanadu58 · 29/11/2021 19:56

9 apples and 6 oranges

stayathomer · 29/11/2021 19:58

A zillion apples (I like apples nobody else does) that I'll bribe into the kids before shopping day and nearly feel sick from after I eat most. Grapes, bananas, kiwis and any berries disappear within a day or two

SingItToWinIt · 29/11/2021 19:59

8 apples, 5 tangerines, 6 bananas on a tree above the bowl and a pack of Elsa stickers tucked in the side.

ItsSunnyOutside · 29/11/2021 20:00

Just bananas. I keep all our fruit in the fridge as it lasts longer and I think its tastes nicer cold and crisp!

RoseMartha · 29/11/2021 20:01

Satsumas and plums
Grapes and blueberries are in the fridge

OddsNSodsBitsNBobs · 29/11/2021 20:07

6 x Granny Smith's

19, yes 19 x Bananas (married to Bananaman, is that ok seeing as Eric is a young boy 🤔)

1 x bunch of red seedless grapes

4 x punnets of Blueberries

2 x Limes

QueenLagertha · 29/11/2021 20:10

3 bananas, 2 satsumas, 10 apples, bunch of grapes (other half of the bunch in the fridge), a punnet of cherry tomatoes, an avocado. DS abs I eat a lot of fruit. DH not so much.

My favourite fruit bowl items are the empty gin cartridge, the contraceptive pills and the pan lids.

This thread proves that fruit bowls are the first place to look for anything that is missing.

Gun cartridge! Not gin.

Loving the randomness of the contents of some of these 'fruit' bowls.

We have a pineapple, 2 lemons, 1 banana, 5 apples, about 8 small oranges/tangerines & a tub of cod liver oil tablets. The grapes live in the fridge as I like them cold!

BiddyPop · 29/11/2021 20:15

I cleared out old fruit over the weekend that wasn't being eaten, and chopped up the pineapple into chunks in the fridge. We've also eaten a lot in the past 2 days, so the pears and plums are gone and a few oranges, and 1 lemon was used in dinner tonight.

Currently, I have
5 apples (a touch wrinkly but edible)
4 lemons and 3 limes
5 large oranges
About 12 mandarins

We also still have a few pineapple chunks, 1.5 punnets of strawberries, a handful of raspberries and a tub of blueberries in the fridge. As well as a fair amount of berries and mango chunks in the freezer and dried fruit as well (pineapple, mango, apricots and sultanas).

Pests, apples and bananas
Also an orange and a lemon for baking.

We usually have more but there's isn't much in season atm
Scarby9 · 29/11/2021 20:18

Pests? @EuromamaAussiekids Is that some antipodean fruit of which I am ignorant?

NeedAHoliday2021 · 29/11/2021 20:20

10 bananas, 14 apples, 6 plumbs, a mango that I keep meaning to cut up. I have just chopped up the water melon but that’s now all in the fridge.

vampirethriller · 29/11/2021 20:21

2 satsumas and some AA batteries.

NeedAHoliday2021 · 29/11/2021 20:21

There’s probably a hair elastic at the bottom because they are fucking everywhere in this house! (3 daughters)

Marmite27 · 29/11/2021 20:22

1 lemon
5 clementines
8 HUGE apples
2 bananas
And a McDonald’s old plastic minion toy - they like bananas you see…

Missrabbitt · 29/11/2021 20:25

It was emptied yesterday so too DD(3) to a farm shop to fill it up today. Wasn’t paying attention to what she chose so I’m actually impressed with the contents- 4 apples, 5 bananas and 3 oranges (which are a bit of a fail because she thought they were satsumas and cried with frustration when she tried to peel them)

DSGR · 29/11/2021 20:25

I only keep bananas in the fruit bowl. Everything else (apples, kiwi, grapes,raspberries and mango) live in the fridge

Whosaidthattt · 29/11/2021 20:25

4 calling birds
3 French hens
2 turtle doves
A partridge
Oh, and a pear 😁

Elllicam · 29/11/2021 20:26

About 100 tiny apples

MeanderingGently · 29/11/2021 20:27

Fruit bowl? Ha ha.... Nothing, I don't have one. I do have apples in the fridge though.....

HighlandCowbag · 29/11/2021 20:27
