green 0 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 I was just watching the tv just now and there was an advert for kiwi fruits. And they instructed us enthralled viewers how to eat a kiwi. So here you are, all you people in the dark: 1 Cut it in half 2 Get a small spoon. A teaspoon is fine. 3 Pick up one half of the kiwi 4 Scoop out some of the fruit flesh 5 Put in mouth and eat. I found it to be very helpful and from now on will never have any further problems eating kiwifruit. I thought I would just pass that on. Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Very useful indeed. Like the instructions on a door or toilet... Link to post Share on other sites
amandanism 0 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 i eat kiwis whole, skin and all. is that disgusting?! Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 And you said cordial and milk was rank!! I have actually had a kiwi fruit whole (skin too). I love kiwi's but didn't like the skin at all. The spoon method does it me - on the rare occasion that i eat them whole that is. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 That's 'kitanai'. I used to do that too, but now I'm a clean person. Do not laugh too hard at the kiwi-eating instructions. The first time I saw a Kiwi eating a kiwi with a spoon, I was impressed and delighted. I like kiwi fruit but thought they were a hassle to eat because in the UK the SOP is (was?) to peel and slice them. I was pleased that I wouldn't have to bother with that any more. However, my wife informs me that this way of eating it is 'kitanai', although not as bad as eating the whole lot skin and all. Now that it has been made official with a TV ad, things might improve.

nzlegend 1 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 when I was a kid at ate them whole, now a bite a hole and squeeze and suck out the juicy goodness Link to post Share on other sites
mikazooki 0 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 i like to wield a blade so i cut it quarters longways then eat it out of the skin. i find 3 kiwis to be the max to eat in a sess. 4 kiwis gives me a "u ate one too many kiwis" kinda feeling. Link to post Share on other sites
zwelgen 0 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 OK a bit of education is in order here: kiwi = flightless bird, NZer, $NZ kiwifruit = fruit with green insides and brown skin They are different people! I could make all sorts of crude jokes about "eating kiwis" but Im not that kind of person. Well actually I am. Link to post Share on other sites

jared 0 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 in NZ now when you buy a pack of kiwifruit they sometimes come with a kiwifruit eating tool kind of a spoon thing but the side of the handle is serated and sharpish edge(for plastic anyway) so you can cut it in half and then eat it without having to carry a knife in your lunchbox. in-jean-ii-iss Link to post Share on other sites

ayumi_nagumo 0 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Is it funny to tell how to eat it? Link to post Share on other sites
zwelgen 0 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Ayumichan. Eat is also 口でやる and a kiwi is also someone from New Zealand. That might explain some things for you Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I just bite into it with the skin. The skin can add a nice tartness to the often over sweet fruit. Plus the skin has greater vitamin value than the fruit. Some times I shave off excess fluff before eating it. Link to post Share on other sites
