1. I vote first...

wow i need to do something with my life at 1:34 in the morning

[BurtWorm]

2. Can you believe someone actually took the trouble to compose this poll

at 1:34 in the morning?!

[AquariDem]

3. With a good deal of honey drizzled over the halves

:9

[tishaLA]

4. Peel. Eat.

why mess up a perfectly good grapefruit with utensils and sweetening agents?

[SOteric]

5. Other: In segments with a Gewurtztraminer and Mint coupe.

Well. You asked. :shrug:

[BurtWorm]

8. Damn! How could I have forgotten Gewurtztraminer and Mint coupe!

:o

[Fridays Child]

6. If they're really sweet, peeled like an orange. Otherwise...

...cut in half, sectioned, and sugared. Yum!

[Ediacara]

7. Peel it like an orange..

...unless it's a very large grapefruit with a thin skin, then I break out the knife. I generally don't eat those types though because they're not as sweet as the smaller grapefruits.

9. With some naked women in the bed with me,

and a couple bottles of Dom Perignon and perhaps a tray of foie gras, strawberries dipped in chocolate, and a bowl of grapefruit slices, unadulterated with sugar. Preferaby the grapefruit is actually one of those large Asian ones, the name of which escapes me, but which when peeled are truly beautiful. Pommeroys? Pommelos? Something like that.

[BurtWorm]

10. I think I unintentionally turned you on!

;)

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. Perhaps, but of course according to the Christian, Bible-based FCC

under Powell, no "turning on" happened in this thread.

12. pommelo

The ancestor of the grapefruit.

[Rabrrrrrr]

23. That's it! Thanks!

Love those things. Pain to get peeled and separated, but o so tasty!

[populistmom]

11. With my glasses on

I've been known to clumsily squirt the acidic juice in my eyes otherwise. :dunce:

14. with a little help from a friend...

[Maddy McCall]

15. Whole

:D

[BurtWorm]

16. Me too, with Gewurtztraminer and Mint coupe

on the side. :9

[scarlet_owl]

17. In slices with a little salt.

A lady I used to work with got me eating them this way.

[VOX]

18. Still waiting for Jimmy Cagney to whack me in the face with mine.

Barring that, halved, plain, spoon, windshield wipers.

[Kitschnsync]

19. Instead of using a spoon...

Try sectioning the grapefruit- cut out the pulp from the bitter skin, and you can eat it in pieces that are sweet enough without sugar. Besides, spoons lead to the dreaded grapefruit-juice to the eyeball squirt every now and then, a torture worthy of Torquemada.

[BurtWorm]

20. Excellent advice.

Welcome to DU! :toast:

[bif]

21. I'd prefer someone else ate it for me

Not a big fan of grapefruit.

[Whitacre D_WI]

22. On a Kaiser roll with red-eye gravy and slaw.

[Shrek]

24. Cut in half and sprinkled liberally with salt.

Do people really put sugar on grapefruit?

???

Yeccch :thumbsdown:

[BurtWorm]

25. I used to when I was a kid.

Think sweet and sour.

[Burma Jones]

26. As Fresca

[BurtWorm]

27. Do they still bottle fresca?

That was an acquired taste when I was a kid, but I did acquire it.

[Burma Jones]

28. Yes, and it's better than it used to be.
