the Moore 4

Our new food for Friday brought us again to a fruit find.

2nd pick: Grapefruit

Again, Rick and I have had grapefruit, but I don’t recall Cali eating any and know for sure Carice hadn’t had a taste of this citrus-y wonder .

At first Carice was excited and wanted to eat it right away. (I hadn’t cut it open yet, but had brought it over to the table with dinner). So, I had to take it back into the kitchen so it wouldn’t be a distraction. But, alas, Carice didn’t eat her dinner anyway. *sigh* She’s eaten chicken noodle soup before!!

I’ve always known to slice into a grapefruit horizontally, add a sprinkling or two of sugar and scoop out the individual segments with a spoon. So, that’s what we did.

Carice said, “Mmm…” after her first bite, but seemed to flip flop on her opinion throughout the experiment of it all by denying more, but then having another bite.

Cali liked it and Rick thought it was sweeter than the one he had a long time ago. It did, however, leave a bitter aftertaste when all was said and done. So, that was yucky.

So, Grapefruit wasn’t a huge hit and I don’t think it quite makes it onto the Moore4′s grocery list. I think we will revisit this fruit in a year or two. Perhaps peel it like an orange and see if that is a better way to eat it. Adding sugar, too, of course☜
