      Don’t be daft they’re not endangered. If they win danger they wouldn’t be allowed to sell their furry eggs in the supermarket.

      If they don’t want eaten they shouldn’t be flightless and taste citrusy. Darwin is a cruel but fair master.

    My partner has this allergy. It has nearly killed them before, and surely will if they eat kiwi fruit again since they don’t have an epipen.

    My friend after eating 500 grams of peanuts “Isn’t it funny when you eat penuts and your throat closes and itches a lot?”

    Me: “Man, I love chocolate so much, it’s a shame it makes my throat feel so tight and sore.”

    My mom: “Hey Ash… You’re not allowed to eat chocolate any more…”

      Reminds me of this YouTube channel I used to watch called “WheresMyChallenge”.

      They did a “1lb Snickers Bar” video. Where one of them promptly discovered he was allergic to nuts.

      I have read that some people may not actually be allergic to kiwi itself, but to a byproduct of a chemical reaction between the kiwi and a metal spoon. Have you tried eating one without a metal utensil?

        Why would you need a spoon? It’s all edible except the hard bit at one end (which is probably edible too, but too pointy to risk it) and the hairy bit at the other (which is almost certainly edible, but eww, hairy). The skin is where the vitamins are.

        Just clean it to remove the insecticides and herbicides and whatnot, and bite chunks off the thing until only those two bits (and quite a lot of juice all over your fingers and mouth) are left…

      I once made pineapple sandwich. It didn’t really work, it sort of dissolved the bread. Taste great though
