I let a perfectly good Butternut squash rot on my table this week. I would stare at it and not have a clue where to start. Some things are just intimidating!

Fuzzy ballz have elicited quite a response from your readers…

My kids won’t eat mac and cheese or pizza either.

You can eat the skin if you like the feel of itty bitty mouse fur on your teeth.

You can eat the skin if you like to meet it again on its way out. Eww.

I LOVE kiwi and banana. Mmmmmm

Cutting them in half and scooping is definitely the best way, but make sure they are soft enough to be scooped.

You can eat the skin, it’s actually supposed to be good for your skin, but I would not recommend it. You get used to the texture, but most kiwifruit is picked before it is ripe and treated with a gas on the container ships to help it ripen. Also, NZ is more lenient with the types of chemical sprays allowed in agriculture than other Western countries.

If you can find them, the golden kiwifruit has a slightly thicker, but less hairy skin, and also tastes a little sweeter than the green ones. It was bred to be eaten with the skin.

You can eat the skin, or you can peel it. My favorite way, though, is to cut it in half like a grapefruit and scoop out the insides with a spoon.

I thought every kid liked mac n cheese but my 3 year old is almost repulsed.

Kiwi. I never buy kiwi. I don’t know why. Probably for the same reason, I don’t know what to do with it.

That man is a quick one.

Kiwi’s are good. My wife is allergic to fake kiwi though. Blows up like a ballon.

Come to NJ – we have Count Chocula!!!

Cut the kiwi in half and spoon out the fruit. Eating the peel just seems yucky – fuzzy skin. BLECH!
