Woman eating a plum on You Are What You Eat......WTF???

[oliveoil]

Did anyone else see this??

""ooooooh, the texture, I have never had anything like it in my life""" >

Not like it was octopus or anything, it was a plum!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think there's foul and there's foul, Bunny!
They're always having people who've never eaten perfectly normal things. There were the family who thought basil must be a garnish rather than something you ate because 'it's just green leaves' and the couple who thought aubergines were a type of bean (ojer bean!)
Can't watch it, alas, as I hate Gillian McKeith and her quinoa-eating pseudo-science just too much.

I can't watch that show b/c I find all that poo stuff completely disgusting for TV.

She's got a fetish about that and it's really off-putting.

i eat a varied and healthy diet (although Whinger McKeith did make me reach for the crisps last night) but i DETEST plums. the texture is so vile, and the taste, sharp and sweet and tannic and the skin makes my teeth itch... blech. if i'd lived on a diet of curly chips and been given a plum to eat i'd have vommed there and then. in GMcKeith's face, hopefully.

Yes she did look great at the end,but I also think it showed the marvellous power of makeup!

yep, true! I guess if you've never eaten anything other than deep fried lard then your poo would be slightly ranker smelling that the next person!!!!!

I don;t think I've ever eaten a plum. Well not a whole one anyway. Hate the texture. Would I make good viewing - when do I get to be on telly?

wanna come on with me, suejonez? be sure to turn your head away when i bite in to the plum, it might get a bit Little Britain.

Glad I'm not the only wierdo aitch, are you the same with soft nectarines? [gag emoticon]

There's something about that slimy-ness lurking under the shiny skin...

And am I the only person on here who doesn;t think the tuna sanwiches are exactly the spawn of the devil - if you have to buy your lunch out, thats a pretty sensible choice IMO.

agree suejonez
it had cucumber in it too
so obviously must count towards 5 a day

And don't get me started on Ian Wrights task at handWho was it who said
Don't blame the parents
Errrr...

I find plums revolting, too.

And Gillian McKeith even more so.

piffle aarrggh you did it
that prog was appalling
felt sorry for the kids

and had to laugh at the mum who said
"I cant understand it as we arent overweight"

and there was fatties everywhere in the household

I was too busy watching 'The Teen Tamer', and some cheeky Fifer lad who could have used a good skelp years before, to watch the Ian Wright thingy.

not a fan of plums, and stuffing half a one in my mouth in one go would most definitely have made me puke all over the floor so can see why she had that reaction.

shame on the mom though, i mean if shes never tasted a plum before that means her mom obviously didn't give her much fruit as a kid. i mean how many people honestly reach adulthood never having tasted a plum????

expat imo it made the parents out to be twonks

here's the thing, suejonez. i love a nectarine but am deathly afraid of getting a soft one or a tasteless one. as i always have to get dh to open and sample nectarines first, a job that he does not thrill to, we very rarely have them in the house.
i think it's the moment of tension between biting and bursting, i can build it up to hitchcockian levels... bleurgh.

Thought the sister was poisonous. Have not eaten white bread or hot dogs since I was enlightened by Gillian. DH and I do eat our weekly big bar of chocolate while watching though, just to be rebellious. And did you see How Clean is Your House?!!

Ooh yum to nectarines, peaches and plums. You can judge how hard or soft they are gonna be by pressing your finger on them ever so slightly. My DH goes mad with lust watching me eat very juicy necarines with the juice running down my chin.

I agree, scouse! They just let that laddie run roughshod all over everyone.

The dad. What was he like? A man or a mouse?

That kid would have learned long ago that he was in MY house and Mum and Dad are the boss of it and no one else.

Those poor girls! Bet they'll be off like shots. I would.

I also agree w/aitch, there is little worse than a mealy, slimy plum or nectarine.

I once "made" another woman's child vomit by giving her a blueberry to try...

oh aitch71 - we could set up a self help group. "Soft fruit fear of slime hidden under shiny skins" Have stopped buying soft fruit - nice crunchy apple thats the ticket, or lots of veg instead.

thats not the point expat

she didnt even know what the plum WAS

at least youve tried one

themoon66 - I don;t mind the juice at all, it's the slime. Has to be a firm textured juicy peach IYKWIM, not worried about the mess or stickiness just the texture of rotting flesh...
