How to eat a kiwifuit.
Tags:I was sitting here this morning eating a kiwi and thinking about how happy I was that I had seen how my friend Jeffrey eats kiwis. Before this I would have always tried to peel it (with a knife of course) - it was just too much trouble. I mentioned it to Chris - who is sitting behind me on the other computer - and he said, "now that is a blog post. Just think how many more people may be able to enjoy eating a kiwi."
Here's Jeffrey's recipe for success in eating a kiwi:
1. slice a bit off the top and the bottom
2. place the kiwi on a plate
3. use a spoon to dig in and enjoy
No peeling, no mess. Pure kiwi fruit enjoyment.
Have a great Sunday - and WOW on all the awesome challenge posts over the last couple of days. Love how you guys worked those stamps!

Thanks for the tip! My DD loves them, but they are such a pain to peel. Glad I've been educated on the proper way LOL

THANKS!! I was just thinking about this yesterday as I peeled a couple for my kids. I peel then dice and serve with a tooth pick. But this is much better. I will serve them this way tomorrow. Now I know the right way, THANKS!

When we buy our Kiwi fruit at the supermarket, they come with a little green spoon-knife!!
The little plastic knife part is to chop it in half and the little plastic spoon part is to scoop out the fruit :)

If you have a serrated grapefruit spoon, try that...it makes it even easier! Cut kiwifruit in half and scrape it all out! Anat

have to admit, i don't think i've ever eaten a kiwi...on another note - forget to mention that the gilda radner quote is perfect for things that have been going on for the edwards family, with the recent election and all...nice choice!

Well I think I will eat more Kiwi from now on. I never liked peeling the skin off as most of the fruit went with it. I would have never ever thought of eating a Kiwi this way.

HAHA I thought everyone ate their kiwi like that. Only I cut mine in half - makes 2 little bowls to scoop from. Only time I've attempted to peel a kiwi is when I make fruit pizza. They sure can be messy! :)
