Skin or no Skin?
 

Just setting into an Orange at work and the subject came up do you eat the skin on fruits like apples/grapes etc?

Most of the good stuff is in the skin (or so I'm told) and I eat the skins on Apples etc.

Just for the sake of boerdom how do you eat yours :)

It would depend on the fruit. Those that are edible will be eaten.

Usually always eat the fruit skin but must admit I rarely wash it first.

Just wondering why thos that dont, err don't.

My brother will peel ANYTHING.
Even the orange SEGMENTS 0_o
Strange....

And what about mushrooms? I always use them whole but the wife always peels them.

Er.. I only peel the fruits that are supposed to be peeled.. i.e. bananananananananas, orangutanges, kiwiwiwiwiwiwis, etc...

I watched a mate eat a minibabybell with the wax on once... He'd never had one before and didn't realise you had to peel them... Particularly nice the way the wax stuck to his teeth. :lol: :lol: :lol:

ROFL I have to admit I have always wondered what the shell would taste like but never been suicidal enough to try :)

It can't of been that bad if he gave it a good go :D
Did you tell him about peeling it before or after he finished the bag :)

I always have my girlfriend peel the grapes before I eat them.

Pah! Kiwis are NOT ment to be peeled :!:

To be fair, there are a load of fruits that i do eat the skins of: Apples, grapes, apricots, plumbs, peaches, pears.....

and a fair few i dont: Bananas, oranges, lemons, limes, melons....

Voted skin though, as people have said they peel grapes?! :shock:

You could do with another to wave the large palm leaf :)

I do peel grapes but i do it by eating the skin (slightly bitter) off then chomping the sweet juicy flesh inside :D

My Mum peels orange segments too. I've tried it a few times and it does actually make the oranges taste better. It's too much like hard work most of the time though. Same with grapes, they taste a bit better peeled too, though I'd never actually do it and girlfriend would kill me if I suggested that she should (bloody liberated women!)

So your telling me there really is method to this madness 0_o

Arghh i'm going to have to try it now but i'm still not sure how you do it without all the juice and pulp falling out of the dang thing :D

Grapes taste even better when they have been juiced, fermented and put into a bottle! :drink:

You eat the skin????? Eew.


PsychoCannon - It was the pause halfway thru the first minibabybell to say 'what???' while I was creasing up laughing that highlighted the wax stuck to his teeth. :lol:

You can say that for almost any fruit!
My mates dad is proof of that he will ferment anything!

Last time we went to his for Dinner he insisted i try EVERY SINGLE bottle he had!
Lets just say I was very merry by the time we Left! :D

...I really need to visit more often :lol:

Hehhe
Well the shell can't of tastes worse than cheese strings at least :D

I want peaches now :(


oh skin on for me by the way, except the obvious, oranges and bananas.

Peach.

Would that be Schnapes or Brandy :)

(Arghh no! now i have a craving for Peace slices in Syrup with ice cream! noOooOOoO)

:sick: neither, just as they are please :D

Can we beat the 6 pages we had on yogurt :roll:

Oooooh, I like yogurt. :D

fruit
Yuk, that stuff makes me sick

Always peel Oranges... :idea: It gets your fingernails really clean!!!

If the skins edible then yes caan't get enough fruit. :lol:

PMSL, that stuf gets everywhere, i told some into the lino in my kitchen and its a nightmare to get out so god knows what it does to your teeth!

For me a generally eat skin except banana and oranges. i even eat mango skin which is lovely, but apparently you aren't supposed to eat it.

Most of the good stuff is in the skin, notably the fibre so you should eat it!

Me too, i also do this with malteasers when i'm being bad and not eating fruit

i just voted and clicked on eating the skin because, well i was thinking of apples, pears and grapes etc. but the very thought of eating the peel of an orange turns my stomach!

Well the only time I peel grapes is when joining in the New Year tradition over here in Spain. As the bells chime to welcome the New Year you eat a grape...there are twelve chimes in total! Try eating 12 grapes quickly.....pips and all in time with the chimes...it is damned hard I tell you...and that is after 16 years of doing it! :? hence the slight cheat of peeling those babies first! :lol:

You have a girlfriend ? :shock: :shock:


























:lol: :lol: :lol:

Meow! :lol:

or as I believe they say in the local vanacular ZING!

Yep I eat the skin. I also each the apple core, always have done. Never met anyone else who does though.

I was always told that eating the core/pips/seeds would make a tree grow in your tummy :(

I got told that as well :shock:

Me too, I always give the core to the dog, I eat the skins except for on the obvious, also eat cucumber skin (still a fruit) but a lot of people i know don't.
Can't stand any sort of dried fruit though.
