Just sprinkle a bit of salt on the white/pink grapefruit, works
like a charm.

Ah, excellent. Another way for me to not eat grapefruit.

Ever tried "pomalos" (sp?) they are a hybrid of grapefruit and some
other citrus and much nicer to eat than a grapefruit imo.

OR
You could peel the grapefruit ( like an orange )
Split the wedges apart
and eat the wedges.
( I don't know why everyone doesn't do this )

Lots of names and variations in spelling. I've had them a few times and
wasn't impressed with the taste. They *are* impressive looking.

I bought one once out of curiosity. I wasn't impressed, but
then, I don't care for grapefruit. As large as it looks, it was
remarkable how thick the skin was.

The one we had was incredibly sweet and lovely (I'm not a fan of
grapefruit unless it's extra-sweet), but the pith and skin were VERY
thick, and the thing had to be supremed to be eaten. It was fun to do
once to try it, but not worth the work on a regular basis.

It was kind of funny, expecting this enormous fruit, and peeling off
that skin to find a regular size grapefruit. That's the way I remember
it, anyway.

They occasionally get down to .50 cents per in the SF bay area and then
i will eat my fill of them, but at 1 dollar per or higher i tend to
pass them by.

Funny thing, i am very fond of grapefruit juice, but don't care to eat
grapefruits.

<laughs> They can also be peeled like an orange and eaten in regular
segments. Pink grapefruit are quite good that way. One can also soak
the peeled segments in a bit of honey prior to eating.

According to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle, pomelos were
native to S.E. Asia in the 17th century, maybe even back to 2000 BCE.
The article also calls it "the grandfather of the grapefruit." Hybrids
do exist for commercial purposes, for instance to make them more
tolerant of cool weather. I agree that they have a much nicer flavor
than most grapefruit.
