To think that the sensible way to eat a kiwi is to cut the top off and scoop the flesh out with a tea spoon?

[squoosh]

My colleague, says no, they must be peeled.

Who's right?

(I know I am but thought I'd ask anyway)

Fairyloo My mum did that and she was always always choking. Kiwis are covered in thousands of tiny hairs YUCK .I told her not to eat the skin and she's okay now! I put mine in a smoothie once and that was vile those little black pips don't taste good when they're ground!

YANBU that's the way to eat them as far as I'm concerned but they must 'give' gently when squeezed otherwise they're disgusting!

peeled and cut up

Cut
Scoop
Develop mouth full of blisters
Remember why I don't eat kiwis
Give it 6 months
Repeat from beginning

You mean you don't just bite into the kiwi, leaving just the stalky bit at the top and bottom (dead technical me!)?

All the vitamins are under skin and you lose them if you use a spoon or peel them.

Yes......but......the skin is made of hairy sandpaper.

I eat the skin too like an apple.

You. Thats how i have always eaten kiwi

I eat the whole lot of them with the skins. The skin is not tough at all and tastes fine :)

I peel the skin off then cut into little circles

Skin eaters here too.
I used to chop and scoop but when dd was much younger she started eating them whole so I did too.

Every week I learn something new about humans.

This week I've learnt that a surprising amount of people eat kiwi skins.

Well, this 'skin eating' technique of kiwi consumption has come as a complete of a shock to me!

I'm going to try it next time I get a kiwi.

Yup eat like an egg.

Or skinned & sliced.

I was given some kiwi spoons. They are plastic, with a knife edge on one end and a spoon on the other. Clearly designed to cut and scoop.

Skin eater? It's furry. The thought makes me want to vomit.

I'm going to have to buy kiwis now in my shop tomorrow. I cut in half then scoop.

Peel.
Slice into thick slices.
Stick a lollypop stick or wee skewer into each slice (through the edge).
Dip in melted dark chocolate till covered.
Freeze (or at least chill).
Mmmmmunch.

For the people who say eating the skins would be weird and all furry etc. Just try it! You will probably be surprised, as was I the first time I tried eating the whole lot!

Defo use a splife. I used to live in NZ and thats how everyone eats them there.

Another shout from the "like an apple" camp.

I never had them as a child. When I was in the military, they were always in the fruit bowl in the mess (and a hot commodity). I grabbed one and ate it like everyone else ate them (since I had no idea what I was doing). Still eat them that way.

for fucks sake, its a kiwifruit. A kiwi has a long beak and 2 legs.

so explain your name, kiwigirl42 - you must have quite the honker...

YANBU - cut and scoop like a dunky egg
