What's in your fruit bowl?

Right now?

Mine contains 5 apples, including 4 Granny Smiths deemed 'too sour' to eat Hmm, two stray nerf bullets and Ds1's headphones.

The shopping will arrive tomorrow and the detritus will be evacuated to make room for, you know, actual fruit that will be eaten.

Is yours more interesting?

CBA to go shopping today

Loads, I’ve overbought as usual, not an actual bowl but in the fridge - blueberries, raspberries, pears, two sorts of apples, plums, figs, satsumas, oranges, lemons, limes, red grapes, bananas on top of the bread bin. We do eat a lot of fruit but I did buy too many apples and oranges this week.

Apples, tangerines, and lemons.
There's some blueberries too in the fridge.

My fruitbowl is in the kitchen which I think helps stop stray toys and pens ending up in it. The living room table is where all the paper/toys/stray pencils end up instead.

@mumda I have some leftover crumble topping in the freezer and some double cream lurking in the fridge...

A load of apples no one will eat as the 2 apple eaters are now low fodmap.Several satsumas which will get eaten and 3 oranges.All other fruit is in the fridge.

IHeartGeneHunt · 12/11/2023 14:33

It's not really a bowl, it's an old ceramic jelly mould shaped like a fish, and it's got a banana that's feeling sorry for itself and two oranges, a bag of onions and some hair pins.

Itisyourturntowashthebath · 12/11/2023 14:38

I'm kina jealous of everyone's brown bananas, banana loaf here we come.

Two lemons, one and a half heads of garlic, a sheet of calcium tablets and half a bag of MSG in the kitchen fruit bowl.

I think there's the last few apples from the tree in the dining room bowl. Plus heaps of quince and medlar in the conservatory.

Wolfpa · 12/11/2023 14:40

A lightbulb and some random screws.

Redlarge · 12/11/2023 14:46

Oranges, granny smiths, green and red peppers and a pomegranate.

Jojoanna · 12/11/2023 14:46

Russet apples, pears, bananas , oranges and grapes

Gnomegnomegnome · 12/11/2023 14:49

We don’t have one but do have a fridge full of fruit.

I do have some ginger and garlic in a little bowl besides the hob if that counts? Grin

maslinpan · 12/11/2023 14:51

Bananas, apples, kiwis, nardicots, lemons, and the 2 fur squirrels which started living there in lockdown.

mondaytosunday · 12/11/2023 14:55

JenniferJupiterVenusandMars · 12/11/2023 14:57

4 limes, 5 tomatoes and a few grapes along with a golf ball (no idea why because we don’t play golf), the torch charger and two butter mints 🤷🏼‍♀️

Lemons, clothes pegs, and an adulterated battery can opener.

The grapes are in the fridge and the cheese is in my sock drawer.

What's in your fruit bowl?
Floralnomad · 12/11/2023 15:04

One bowl has 4 oranges and lots of satsumas . The apple bowl has galas , candines and pink lady’s .

BeyondMyWits · 12/11/2023 15:04

3 russet apples (at their best), 4 satsumas (ok, but heading for fermented taste), 3 figs (just going over, so will pop them in the oven to roast for pud) and a lemon... there was also a nub of ginger that looked well past it... like a wrinkled toe...., put it in the food waste

TrumpetOfTheMatriarchy · 12/11/2023 15:06

Green Apples, Red apples, Tangerines, an elderly Lime, a Mango (reduced from Tesco), a whiteboard pen, some lego and a rubber band.
