Tomorrowillbeachicken · 09/01/2017 21:35

Grin FishFinger I knew someone would say Cutted Up Grin

SilkThreads · 09/01/2017 21:38

I was just coming on to say:

peel or no peel the important question is:

cutted up or not?

Kiwi skin? It might be edible, doesn't mean it's palatable. Can't imagine trying to swallow that hairiness! Pears sometimes - sometimes the skin is bitter and is better off. If the pear is super juicy the skin helps to control the mess until its consumed.

Skin on. Biting into a juicy pear is like a taste of heaven. Beautiful.

HappyFlappy · 09/01/2017 21:43

Eat it.

I eat kiwi skin, Evans.

It's a bit like chewing coconut matting, but I am convinced that it's full of roughage.

MadisonAvenue · 09/01/2017 21:43

It's never occurred to me to peel a pear!

HappyFlappy · 09/01/2017 21:44

I eat the whole lot, core and pips too. Likewise with apples

So does m daughter.

What is wrong with you people?

PickAChew · 09/01/2017 21:45

It's the best bit of the pear. Eat it!

Tinseleverywhere · 09/01/2017 21:46

Yes cutted up!

PickAChew · 09/01/2017 21:47

And my problem with Kiwi fruit isn't the skin - it's the way it makes my throat and mouth feel like I've swallowed broken glass.

theonlygeorgie · 09/01/2017 21:49

I eat the skin on posts, never thought otherwise.

With kiwi I slice the top off like a boiled egg and scoop out the inside with a spoon. It's genius.

theonlygeorgie · 09/01/2017 21:49

Pears not posts

Discopanda · 09/01/2017 21:50

Make sure the pear is cutted up

uncoolnn · 09/01/2017 21:53

Eat!

NormansNipple · 09/01/2017 21:56

YABU to consider eating a pear at all. They are the devils own testicles.

But make sure there's no BabyMousePear .....................that still gives me nightmares, I don't eat pears myself , too gritty but even less inclined after BabyMousePearGate

Blacksox · 09/01/2017 22:00

Eat the skin!

I don't know why I am commenting as I really hate pears.

321zerobaby · 09/01/2017 22:01

definitely peel, it tastes bitter and feel gritty.

Artandco · 09/01/2017 22:03

We all eat pear skin, especially for babies as easier for them to hold without slipping and good to stop toddler constipation!

I tried a kiwi skin after reading it could be eaten, it made my toungue swell and it was itchy for hours. Not doing that again

Purplebluebird · 09/01/2017 22:07

Eat it!

Doobigetta · 09/01/2017 22:11

I wanted to do the cutted up post!

HappyFlappy · 09/01/2017 22:20
