I always found it odd, but this must have been what was considered "classy" in the early sixties -- having a fruit as an appetizer -- and it became a tradition.

Oooh it's so good and no sugar needed b/c it's already sweet. I'm thinking some grapefruit will be bought this week at the grocery. :) Oh, and I also eat it standing over the sink!

And when I was young, I used to try to eat them like peeled oranges, but my mother discouraged that practice (in a move that may have had more to do with housekeeping logistics than anything else). I guess I've just gotten used to the organic bowl method of grapefruit consumption in the ensuing years. Though now that you mention it, I may have to revert to the deviant impulses of my youth...

My sister's pretty amazing, isn't she! Isadora-I am definitely a fan of the pink ones. The yellow ones are a little to puckery for me. Albert-sorry to hear grapefruit don't do it for you!
