I do slice orange and put it in salad sometimes though when I make a 'proper' salad. In Eagleton I have several citrus fruit thingies for getting the juice and pulp out efficiently. Frankly, most of the time I just buy orange juice. <br /><br />I hope that you enjoy it SP. Because I can taste Parmesan it happens to be a texture (of the pear) and a taste which I can really enjoy.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-80296306871164896072012-01-22T22:11:46.130+13:002012-01-22T22:11:46.130+13:00Oooook GB, I have a Conference pear every morning ...Oooook GB, I have a Conference pear every morning for breakfast...I never thought of having them with parmesan.<br /><br />Merci beaucoup.<br /><br />SPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-33891672972497887822012-01-22T20:58:23.065+13:002012-01-22T20:58:23.065+13:00Just squash the oranges and drink the juice - an a...Just squash the oranges and drink the juice - an almost instant pleasure, allowing you to get all the vitamins and the taste of fresh oranges without having to deal with the pips.<br />On Sicily, people make salad from oranges, using salt, pepper, vinegar and olive oil as if they were tomatoes.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-53206438398381005692012-01-22T10:13:45.827+13:002012-01-22T10:13:45.827+13:00I agree with you about the oranges, GB -- seeds ar...I agree with you about the oranges, GB -- seeds are the pits (no pun intended).

Water melons are very heavy but as I shop with a car that's not an issue for me. Both here and on Lewis one can buy half or portions of water melon.<br /><br />Oddly when I wrote this I thought of you Katherine. The irony is that I'm happy to spend an afternoon preparing vegetables and food to feed others (and myself of course) but faced with a pippy orange or peeling an apple I just can't be bothered. I'm ashamed of myself.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-83128395130013446212012-01-22T08:55:41.855+13:002012-01-22T08:55:41.855+13:00I have two very good role-models who painstakingly...I have two very good role-models who painstakingly prepare fruit fro themselves (and me!) and then consume with obvious great pleasure.

But bananas, apples, pears, grapes; strawberries in the summer... Depends on the season what is best quality vs cheap to buy. This time of year all fruit is imported. My complaint with melons (besides the pips) is that they are heavy to carry home - and a whole water melon too big for one person. Same problem with some vegetables.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-8987081337608063872012-01-21T21:37:10.433+13:002012-01-21T21:37:10.433+13:00Adrian: I do!

It can taste great but, again, it's a lot of faff. I might well get it out when I get back though because some more fruit and veg would be a very good idea.GBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10289400344300258872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-17109797036062837112012-01-21T21:14:26.087+13:002012-01-21T21:14:26.087+13:00My daughter is a raw food vegan and as my fruit ea...My daughter is a raw food vegan and as my fruit eating regime matches yours I feel quite guilty... so today, I actually made a green fruit smoothie in her super duper special blender... raspberries, banana, apple, soy milk, and some silverbeet ( yes the token greens).
