This thing is a grape, isn't it a beauty? Grin I bought a punnet today and although they're all pretty big this is the biggest one. I couldn't quite believe it when I opened the packet, it looks like a plum!

Stick a tap in that thing.

bobstersmum · 27/04/2019 20:51

I've never seen one that big! Unless you have tiny hands!

My hands are not that small (roughly 19cm long and 10.5cm wide, according to my tape measure.) I'm now looking at the grape and thinking about how I'm going to eat it. I've never had to bite a grape in half before. These are the biggest ones I've ever seen!

You need a massive wedge of cheese to go with the grape. Mmmm

That's not from Tesco is it? They had HUGE white grapes for a while that were delish

Greeborising · 27/04/2019 21:04

Ooh that’s brilliant!
I can only find a teeny one

It was ridiculously juicy and delicious. It was a Scottish strawberry so all the sunshine we’ve had must have done the job!

Greeborising · 27/04/2019 21:07

I can see this thread being one to watch!
I’ve just gone through the fridge
Very disappointed

Place marking- I like big fruits and I can not lie

WonderTweek · 27/04/2019 21:24

I have no large fruits in the house at the moment but I'm hoping my Tesco delivery will bring me some tomorrow! I can't quite get over the size of that plum grape.

MrsGrannyWeatherwax · 27/04/2019 21:25

Damn just are my blueberry without taking a photo!

ethelfleda · 27/04/2019 21:28

Wish I’d taken a photograph of the avocados we ate when travelling East Africa. They were absolutely beautiful. Nature’s bounty in all its glory 🥑

This afternoon I ate the last one of some Tarocco oranges from Sicily, they were huge, and deliciously juicy.

TheFlis12345 · 27/04/2019 21:48

Tesco and M&S had massive strawberries last year with the crazy good weather. We had several that were the size of small apples! (It always reminds me of the Simpsons where Homer dreams of ‘strawberries as big as hand fruit’ Grin ).

This is a challenge, isn’t it?! Grin🍇

Pineapple I got them from Sainsbos. Smile I'm going to keep an eye for other varieties too.

I've had big blueberries before, what I thought of as grape sized (not as big as that grape though.) They were very tasty. Grin

I looked in the fridge but all I've got is an average size banana and half a cucumber not even a fruit

I'm disappointed in my fruit and myself

TestingTestingWonTooFree · 27/04/2019 21:58

My great aunt grew carrots that were massive. One was big enough to feed 4 of us.

Walnutwhipster · 27/04/2019 22:04

Not fruit but monster Frazzle. My children were impressed.
