The Fruit Salad

Sceptical satsumas with suspicious rumours of fruit bowl disclaimers

A mention of cucumber and tomato being part of the starter,
leaving melon and grape displeased and irate

A discussion re:pips reaches a conclusion, they're not welcome in this fruit salad 
inclusion 

Away with tradition and starting a drama forgetting apple, ignoring banana
substituted with kiwi replace with mango and guava

Squeezed lemon precautions of epic pear portions

No brown to be seem under lashing of cream

'This is not just any fruit salad this is a Marks and Spencers fruit salad':-)


    ....  a satirical look at society and 
predudice using fruit as the subject.. light hearted x

a creative and interesting way to describe our "fruit bowl" here in the US at least. I always like that saying about CAlifornia, "the land of fruits and nuts."
