Never tried the skins of the usual kiwi, but eating the whole of a hardy kiwi is great. I found them one time at the grocery store and they’re fantastic, like grape sized kiwis without the fuzz.

I’m hoping to grow some but I’ll see if I ever get around to it.

I rub the fuzz off and then eat them with the skin on

Golden kiwis aren't as fuzzy, and there's no excuse not to eat those with skin on.

Eat more skin, goons.

Even on a regular kiwi The fuzz is really easy to get rid of especially if you run it under the tap for a few seconds while rubbing it off. I really like the sour flavor of the skin mixed with the sweet fruit inside. It's really good once you get over being told the "right" way to eat a Kiwi is to scoop the insides out and trash the rest.

Also afaik all of the healthier bits of a Kiwi is in the skin.

Once in their life everybody should mix a can of orange juice concentrate into a mostly full half gal of vanilla ice cream and eat it right out of the tub

- 1 can frozen orange juice concentrate
- 2 cans water
- 1 can coconut flavored almond/etc. vegan milk

So good. Haven't tried using vanilla almond milk. Both at once might be good too. Swap out another can of water if you want more coconut flavor.

Canned concentrated orange juice is, so far, the only thing I've ever had an allergic reaction to. It gives me chapped lips.
Also I haven't seen canned juice in over 20 years.

Another fruit good with the skin is lemon. Probably lime too. I like it with a bit of salt.

The peel is the most edible part of a raw unadorned lemon. The rest is too acidic and sour to be pleasant.

Dragonfruit does have a very disappointing appearance to flavour ratio but it's possible that yours was just underripe. Fully ripe they should have a sorta light, slightly pulpy sweetness. Under-ripe they're basically water you can chew.

The taste also depends on the color/variety of dragonfruit you have. The yellow ones are sweet like candy.

I did expect it to taste more dragony, but I quite like what it does to your lips, you know, the way it makes them go all tingly and funny. A bit like when you eat strawberries.

I'm such a slut for a nice ripe peach or nectarine in late summer. Even underripe ones that are crunchy (but still sweet) make me happy.

I was just in S France (more on that later) and we made nectarine feta salad a few times. It’s so drat good. I peel most fruit as fruit skins make the hairs On my arms stand on end but I cannot touch peaches. It gives me the squicks. Nectarines I can touch to peel.

mmm difficult to compete with the childhood memory fruit. i think of rosemary in the same way, my father rubbing a sprig of it between his hands and showing me how delicious herbs can smell.

It's this. Slice a lemon wedge and just eat the whole thing. The rind actually cuts the bitterness and it just tastes like lemon, like a tart lemonade. It also really opens up your taste buds and is great with mint.

My childhood food memory is honeysuckle and mint. Used to have a neighbor in an apartment complex who grew mint in her garden and just let us kids come in and eat it, and honeysuckle grows everywhere around here.

Also mulberries and black walnuts because my grandmother had trees in her yard.

Fun times.
