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?

I can't believe people keep soft fruit like berries in a fruit bowl,or onions!!Mine is big beautiful glass, with red and gold swirls, I saw it in a charity shop.

Satsumas, some mixed English apples, an orange that has been zested and one and a half lemons.

The fruit bowl has a lemon, 6 spartan apples, 8 cox apples, 8 satsumas and 1 minneola.

The veg bowl has a pack of small potatoes, five red onions, one white onion a thumb of fresh ginger, a galangal root and two garlic bulbs.

Bananas
We have loads of other fruit but it's all in the fridge

thebraispink · 13/11/2023 17:49

Bananas, oranges and melon that will no doubt go weird and a dog's Apple AirTag that fell off and hasn't been fixed back on his collar.

ohbaby24 · 13/11/2023 18:05

3 oranges, a load of satsumas, bunch of bananas too green to eat and 6 apples.

(I went shopping this morning)

exlibremachina · 13/11/2023 18:21

Bananas still a bit green, two pears and orange and an avocado. More fruit in the fridge. Its only in winter I can have fruit out due to the bloody fruit flies.

Butteredtoast55 · 13/11/2023 19:13

Four apples, three plums, five bananas, a windfall cooking apple and a lemon. I might make an apple and plum crumble now I'm thinking about it 😊

A bunch of bananas, 1 passion fruit, 2 avocados waiting to ripen, a few wrinkled apples that will be used in a smoothie and a moulding lime ooops

Thewolvesarerunningagain · 13/11/2023 20:29

4 seemingly immortal oranges ( must be preserved in a crazy way as I’m sure they’ve outlasted at least one PM), an apple and one of the cat’s roller toys
