The Sanders Family

A while back Susan mentioned that she had never had a star fruit or a kiwi fruit, but that she had thought about trying them. She had even bought kiwi fruit before but said she never could get herself to try it. Of course that meant that I had to get some and she was going to try them. To make it better we had the kids tonight so Susan couldn’t back out of trying. Luckily the kids were excited about trying them so there was only one person upset about trying something new .

Star Fruit

First up was the star fruit. I have had star fruit before and it isn’t my favorite so I wasn’t to hopeful that they would like this. Because of the shape everyone was excited to try it, however we didn’t have much success after the first few bites. Susan said it tastes like a unripe apple which I think is a pretty good description.

Kiwi Fruit

Next up was the kiwi. Everyone got to pet the kiwi before I cut it which the kids thought was great, but it had Susan second guessing her willingness to try it. I love kiwi fruit but I wasn’t sure how Susan would like it because of the texture. She ate part of hers around the edges but she wouldn’t eat the part with the seeds or the middle so I think I was right about the texture for her. Anna wasn’t a fan of the kiwi either, but Tyler loved it. He was upset that there wasn’t any more left and wanted me to go by the store to get some more.

So we had two new fruits with Susan and Anna liking neither, and Tyler liking the kiwi. At least now Susan and Anna can say they don’t like star fruit or kiwi and know they are telling the truth. Although I think if Susan could get over the texture of the kiwi she would like it.
