My girls LOVE grapes, fight for them, jump 4 feet to take them from your hand and run away to secret spots in the garden to eat them  :nowink:

No ill effects from a couple of grapes each. I suspect more would mean a fit of the runs! :tongue2:

Gordon Bennett, and I thought my girls were spoiled!  :ohmy: :blink: :D :lol:

Manky grapes from the bottom of the bag for my 4. However, the next time I see a pomegranate I'm not sure I'll be able to resist. Nigella would approve....

WOW!  Bananas!  We always have 1 that gets left and ends up on the compost bin.  Not anymore, the girls can have it from now on!  Waste not want not!  :)
