I hate this. Kiwis taste sooooo good. But I also have some mild allergy. Same with pineapples.

It's not fun unless it's a fair duel

I love Kiwifruit season when they get down to like $1/kg

I eat a lot of them.

The juice is great for tenderizing meat also.

Man, where do you live? I'm in Minnesota, and our kiwi have to come from halfway around the globe. $1/lb sounds like a fantasy to me.

I once dated a girl who grew up in Hawaii. She used to mock us mainlanders for buying starfruit. First of all, because she thought they aren't a very good fruit, but second because apparently where she grew up, they were something of a pest plant: they were everywhere and dropped their fruit on the sidewalk and you'd step on them if you weren't careful and it'd make a mess.

It's all perspective, huh?

$1/lb sounds like a fantasy to me.

Man, just wait until you find out that they're actually paying 1/2.2lb, or $0.45/lb

Less than 2 hrs from the major kiwifruit producing region.

Mid-season, I could drive to an orchard and back before lunch. To buy the fruit even cheaper in bulk.

Next time try your pineapple with a dash of salt.

[–] lars@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you!!! I was actually going to ask how I could chip away at the roof of my mouth at the same time my fruit eats my tongue.

Jk. Does it make it better?

Pineapple.actively bites you back, so it might not be a mild allergy.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Have you tried cooking a pineapple and then eating it and see if you still have symptoms

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 4 points 4 weeks ago

Well, I love pizza hawaii...

I have read that some people may not actually be allergic to kiwi itself, but to a byproduct of a chemical reaction between the kiwi and a metal spoon. Have you tried eating one without a metal utensil?

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 weeks ago

Had this too as a kid they made me vomit. Now it's completely gone and I have hayfever

I once made pineapple sandwich. It didn't really work, it sort of dissolved the bread. Taste great though
