To think you eat the skin of a kiwi?!

[TheChosenTwo]

Was going to put this in chat but thought I’d opt for the voting to get a clearer picture!
Dds and I eat the skin of the kiwi fruit. Dh and ds think we are weird. It’s much quicker, I’m sure it’s really nutritious and there’s less waste (okay, actually I just started eating the skin when I realised I was too lazy to bother peeling them).
I put it to you, good people of MN, AW(we)BU?

Eurgh - I'm amazed anyone eats the skin. It's just wrong.

Fuck me. I thought I'd heard it all when I saw the thread title....then someone posts, I’m shocked at all the people peeing kiwis. and I realised the whole world is a broken place if we are not only eating the skins of kiwi fruit, but also pissing the the bloody things.

*nobby bit, not Libby bit

Weird imo

My goat however loves kiwis with the skin on lol

When I was a kid in the USA in the 1980s, kiwi were a new thing and I remember an advert that showed a bite taken out of an unpeeled kiwi, to point out that the skin is edible. I tried it, but didn't find it very pleasant. But if you like it, go for it.

I discovered that I can eat mango skin! After hours and hours of my life scooping out mangos!

WHAT?!

After the hours of peeling, the mess, the sticky hands, the juice clagged to my clothes . . .

. . . you can just chew through the thick leathery skin?

Definitely scooping out with a teaspoon approach.

I peel for the kids. Mum eats them very much like a boiled egg with a teaspoon.

The non-hairy ones I guess I could eat without gagging on the hairiness I suppose

No way! You’re strange OP!

Absolutely not. It would be like licking a mouse. A cold green slimy mouse.

Surely you cut them in half and scoop out the insides with a teaspoon? The skin is grim.

Sprayed with chemicals, so poisonous not healthy if that is your reason to eat the peel.

Yup I eat it like an apple. Love it

@SchadenfreudePersonified yes! I know! I just thought of it one day and it was fine! I know all those hours and hours of MESS and STICKINESS!!!!!! OVER! Ha ha ha ha ha!

I always have , and my Dad eats oranges with the skin on- now that is wrong 🤣

Yuck! It’d be like eating a tarantula.

Absolutely not. It would be like licking a mouse.

Is it just me who wouldn't have a problem with licking a mouse? We had pet mice and I used to kiss them.

I would only lick in the direction of the hair though. It would be beyond weird to go against the grain. Doesn't seem to bother the cats, though

I eat the skin, OP. I totally get what all pps are saying about hairy and tough, but that's why is has such a lovely soft sweet middle. Perfect combination.

Definitely going to try the mango thing onalongsabbatical.

I can see this transforming my life in ways I'd never imagined.

My Grannie used to eat orange peel itsemily,

Wish there Satan - I think that's enough from you.

They're hairy. We don't eat hairy things.

Not once in 50 years have I done this

So therefore only weirdos do this

I know you’re ‘supposed’ to, but .... no, ta very much. I have tried it. It’s like furry mould.

They have fur on them, not nice soft fur, like on a cat, but like a doormat! I eat them like an egg, with a teaspoon.

Nooooo! Slice the top off and scoop out the green bits with a tea spoon, as if it’s a soft boiled egg!
