  I used to have halved grapefruit piled with sugar as a kid, as I was taught, I suppose. Later I discovered that the sugar just made it seem a lot more bitter, like a flavour that had to be combatted. They taste much better if you go with the taste instead of fighting it! Now it's my favourite fruit, eaten whole like oranges. As a kid, I was a fruit maniac, my favourites were Granny Smith green apples, grapefruit, and really strong, sour oranges (we knew someone who sold them in huge bags from their house, I've never tasted anything like them since, my mother made incredible juice from them too). I never realized they're all on the not-so-sweet side until reading the "Fruit is evil"-type comments here. Also I loved grapes from the vine outside my window, passionfruit, mangoes, strawberries, (all home-grown), and peaches, pears, rockmelon, honeydew, nectarines...gee I'm making myself hungry.

    Or try a little salt instead of the sugar... it counteracts the bitterness. Quite surprising!
