An alternative healthy option.

For the price of less than a fast food meal, I bought all this fruit today, apart from the bananas at the cost of £3.50p.
One of my family refuses to eat any kind of fruit at all and I wondered how many others don't.

What a lovely big bowl of fruit Mesco m. I practically live on fruit and yoghurt. Any sort of fruit will do for me. What's there to dislike, I wonder.

I, like you love any kind of fruit with the exception of figs and dates. My grown up grandson will not touch any kind of fruit and does seem to even have an aversion to it for some reason.

That looks a very tempting bowl of fruit Mall, I almost bought some plums today but did wonder if they would have much flavour compared to English ones.

The red ones are South African and they are delicious, the yellow ones are Spanish and a little more tart.

Can't stand fresh apricots but love dried ones. Caravan site has plums of all colours and pink fleshed apples they were lovely, very old variety. got apple and family pear trees in garden , shop bought have no comparison, getting plum tree for mothers day. Prefer to see a bowl of fruit rather than vase of flowers.

Looks delicious (apart from the bananas being well past their use by date ).

I don't know why people don't eat fruit, as you say it is cheap but I have read about people avoiding too much fruit because of its fructose content and preferring vegetables instead.

Looks mouth-watering. I hold my hand up and say we don't eat as much fruit as we should. We eat a lot of prepared fruit for breakfast during the winter and I cut up oranges to finish a meal.
