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 load of Lego pieces 😄

(We do have grapes, apples, watermelon and blueberries in the fridge though)

maddiemookins16mum · 29/11/2021 20:54

It’s empty but the cat was asleep in it yesterday.

MaryAndGerryLivingInDerry · 29/11/2021 20:59

A tub of quality streets Grin

Etherealhedgehog · 29/11/2021 21:02

Haha, I love this. Some very old peely oranges, bag of apples, a kiwi, lemons, many rubber bands, pens, a shopping list pad, my MIL' s visitor's parking permit (oops), and a wooden tassly ornament thing that got moved from the fridge because DD would have eaten it

TroysMammy · 29/11/2021 21:07

Satsumas, apples, 2 persimmons and a plastic banana holder.

SmallProvincial · 29/11/2021 21:08

Three apples, which look depressingly yellow, but are actually delicious (though not golden delicious).

One kiwi.

Three satsumas.

An aged grapefruit (but I am always surprised how well they last).

Two small bananas.

Two little inserts from DD's herb growing kit.

A 'book' made by DD (paper stapled together with drawings).

A half painted loo roll tube.

OverByYer · 29/11/2021 21:11

I don’t have a fruit bowl.
Have raspberries, blueberries and limes in the fridge. Not a big fruit eater, prefer veg.

MrsPear · 29/11/2021 21:14

Very exciting oranges and nectarines- and an apple. There are grapes in the fridge …

What is in your fruit bowl just now?
Lacesaskew · 29/11/2021 21:15

In one is a load of plums which I am going to simmer with cinnamon sticks, lemon peel, a splodge of plonk, cloves, nutmeg and a bit of brown sugar.

In the other are pears, limes, lemons and a manky quince which I don't know what to do with.

I've given up buying clementines. They go hard, or go squishy or have grey bits in them, or you can't peel them without a struggle.

Roystonv · 29/11/2021 21:23

Could we have pictures of cats in fruit bowls please. I have boringly 5 pears, 4 bananas, some easy peelers that look less appealing as the days pass and the final apple from our tree.

Notdoingthis · 29/11/2021 21:34

Many satsumas, about 5 pears, about 5 bananas. I only buy cheap fruit.

Doublechins · 29/11/2021 21:42

Bananas, grapes and apples. Always have less fruit in winter than we do in the summer

Wombat69 · 29/11/2021 21:45

Lots of bananas, apples, pears, satsumas, plums & kiwi fruit. Blueberries & raspberries in the fridge. Veg bloke delivered this morning, so that's the week's fruit.

OddsNSodsBitsNBobs · 29/11/2021 21:53

@maddiemookins16mum

I have 2 side by side, although the banana bowl is loaded like the leaning tower of Pisa Grin

foxgoosefinch · 29/11/2021 21:54

6 Cox apples and a fuckton of satsumas - as DP likes them more than any reasonable person should (and then complains of acid reflux Hmm)

Don’t get me wrong, I love a satsuma. Just not 30 of them at once.

dementedma · 29/11/2021 22:02

2 cooking apples, 2 eating apples, 3 lemons, a net of satsumas, 4 tomatoes, a Christmas card , 4 bananas and some shrivelled brown things which might have been grapes.

dementedma · 29/11/2021 22:06

Never occurred to me to keep fruit in the fridge
