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?

Why do so many of you have things which are not fruit in your fruit bowl?

Surely they should be elsewhere?

A sweet potato, an enormous Bramley apple, a conference pear, a persimmon, 3 bananas, a pen, a block of post it notes, a packet of dextrose tablets, a tube of effervescent vitamin C tablets, and a packet of paracetamol. Other fruit in the fridge.

A single sad little apple. 😢

LlynTegid · 12/11/2023 16:40

Apples, a banana and some mandarins. Will only have soft fruit such as raspberries when in season in the UK.

junbean · 12/11/2023 16:42

Pomegranates and limes (for tacos!)

Yettisrus2 · 12/11/2023 16:43

Some bananas, I've had fruit flies all bloody summer so my fruit was kept in the fridge. Thought I'd try and put some out, fingers crossed the flies don't come back.

Oh and some earrings and a set of fairy lights.

In the actual fruit bowl - a pumpkin. This year I will do something with it - possibly pumpkin pickle. In the cupboard are cooking and eating apples, and in the fridge there are grapes.

FoleyHuck · 12/11/2023 16:44

A pack of fruitellas, 2 bags of haribo, some drumstick lollies, a bag of hula hoops, a bag of rowntrees fruit gums and inexplicably DH's headphones.

At least two of them contain the word fruit.

No idea, it’s in the loft somewhere…probably.
All the fruit is in the fridge.

Renamed · 12/11/2023 16:54

Onions

Bluevelvetsofa · 12/11/2023 16:55

Six apples and five oranges. There’s a new carton of grapes in the fridge and half a carton of blueberries and another of raspberries. The freezer has quantities of frozen fruit. My favourite breakfast is a combination of fruit, with yogurt, honey and flaked almonds.

TheDandyLion · 12/11/2023 16:57

3 Bramleys, 2 coxes pippins, 2 easy peelers, 4 bananas, 3 lemons.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 12/11/2023 16:59

5 Braeburns, one satsuma and two pears. And an empty envelope. DH leaves the bloody things everywhere!

LaChatte · 12/11/2023 17:04

5 or 6 apples, a couple of oranges, quite a few satsumas and 3 persimmons (soon to be 2 as this thread has made me peckish).

meow1989 · 12/11/2023 17:10

Bananas, tangerines, apples and a lemon

Mmmmdanone · 12/11/2023 17:12

3 apples, 4 lemons, 2 bottles of pills for the dog

PinkLemons99 · 12/11/2023 17:24

I put a homemade flower arrangement into my fruit bowl. 😂

What's in your fruit bowl?
PinkLemons99 · 12/11/2023 17:25

I've got some lemons, oranges and apples in the one in the kitchen though.

ShinyPikachu · 12/11/2023 17:25

A ballpoint pen and a whiteboard marker. There are a few slightly spotty bananas on the banana hook.

GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal · 12/11/2023 17:52

3 pink lady apples, 3 lemons, 3 limes, 4 satsumas, a cat's collar and a small pink dinosaur beanie baby (the guardian of the fruit bowl).

LBOCS2 · 12/11/2023 17:52

Three apples, a whole pack of easy peelers (they've been there for a week; I was obviously feeling optimistic when I bought them), two avocados and a selection of tomatoes.
