Answers:
man!
i love the fruit!.
i grew up on the stuff and it does take a special way to eat it!.
ive seen people cut it in quarters but its not an orange and alot of time the pulp is just too tough to enjoy like you would an orange!.
the way we do it is cut it in half!.!.!. horizontally across!.
then you have the sections!.!.!.
take a serated edged knife and section each piece between the pulp!.
there should be like 12 pieces per side!. then cut around the edge of it!.

no sugar is needed

enjoy your grapefruit!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Eat it the same way you would an orange!. It is just like a big orange that tastes different!. Some people cut them in half and eat it by scooping with a spoon!. Sugar is a taste thing just like salt!. Some people want it on GF, some don't!. Or you can peel the grapefruit, separate the wedges and eat them!. It is all about personal preference!. There is no right or wrong way to do it!. Just eat it however you like it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I love grapefruit!. You can eat it any way you want!. Eat it like an orange, peel and section, or cut, or you can just cut it into wedges, then cut those wedges in half (to make the bite size) with the skin on!. You can cut it in half, the take half, put straight side down, and cut in "u" shaped slices!.

At the restaurants I worked at we would cut it in half, place half in a bowl, then take a paring knife and cut around the edge toward the center, the cut from the center on the line of each wedge so it's in individual sections for the guest to eat!. (And there are special grapefruit spoons and knives which are great for this purpose!.) But it was a PAIN!!!! (And they wonder why waitresses take so long!.!.cause they're busy CUTTING GRAPEFRUIT!)

I started eating grapefruit with sugar, but I like it plain now!.

Eating grapefruit can get messy and sticky though!. Have napkins on hand!.

Enjoy your grapefruit! Think I'll go have one now!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The most common way is to slice it in half horizontal (so you can see a cross section of the segments!.) Sprinkling sugar on top helps reduce the sour flavour, but some say salt works just as well and doesn't taste nasty either!.

You can use a paring knife to cut the fruit from the skin if you like, or find a grapefruit spoon (spoon with slight serated edges, http://www!.viners!.co!.uk/images/l_Grapefr!.!.!. )

Enjoy!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well I've seen people do it all the ways you stated!. My grand mother used to slice it in half, and scoop it like a bowl with a spoon!. I like to peel it, and eat it plain, no sugar, ummmm just grapefruit! I love the tangy taste and the smell!.

Enjoy the grapefruit!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Grapefruits are pretty sour and tasty to begin with, so I don't think you need any sugar :) I suppose you could eat it with a spoon, but I just cut it into slices and then bite right into it!

Cut it in half!.
Buy a 'grapefruit spoon'!.!.!. its a spoon with a jagged edge like a knife!. You cut around the edge of the halved grapefruit, between the fruit and the skin!.
You put sweet n' low or sugar on it and enjoy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I've always chopped them in half and then ate them section by section!. they even sell special pointy spoons to help you take the sections out!. and i have put sugar on them before, but you don't have to!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you go get a spoon then eat the inside of the grapefruit our you can still have the spoon in your hand and get all of the grapefruit juiceWww@FoodAQ@Com

Try this!.!.!.!.peal it like an orange!. Then very carefully remove the "skin" from each piece leaving only the meat of the fruit!. The skin is what gives the grape fruit its bitter taste!. "Try it, you'll like it!"Www@FoodAQ@Com
