It's really hard to comprehend how someone could reach working age and not know what grapefruit is! I was shocked recently when a young guy working in the produce section of SuperTarget didn't know what a fig was, when I asked if they had any fresh figs. I said it was a fruit. He shrugged and looked around as if one might fall out of the ceiling. I then said "You know, like the fig leaves Adam and Eve wore?" He said he had never heard of that. "But I've heard of Fig Newtons!" he exclaimed with pride.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03112406026504662328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-87896751862847259222007-07-13T08:59:00.000+01:002007-07-13T08:59:00.000+01:00Ah, you're missing out - I peel 'em and eat 'em li...Ah, you're missing out - I peel 'em and eat 'em like oranges, but after taking them out of the membrane bit, which spoils the texture. mmm. <BR/><BR/>And they supposedly burn fat for you too.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08988685736635515808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8840706572296442429.post-66289460279161465082007-07-12T23:05:00.000+01:002007-07-12T23:05:00.000+01:00Silly Jo.
