When you eat it do you eat it properly? Or...……. do you sit there for ten minutes and cut out each individual one?

Evidently, you have a regimen for eating grapefruit which you consider to be proper. As you haven't posted "the rules," I can only hope that I function within the perimeters of acceptance.  -- I eat grapefruit at room temperature. I don't think that any fruit, chilled in the fridge, allows for full flavor. -- I eat it "plain," without any sprinkle of sugar, honey, salt, etc.. -- Generally, I cut it in half, and use a teaspoon to extract the segments, and the residual juices (I do not have grapefruit spoons. I don't have it often enough to warrant the investment.) -- Occasionally, I peel it, as I would an orange, and eat each segment as "finger food." |

sadly, i can't eat it anymore as it somehow interacts negatively with some of my medications.

Same way I eat an orange. Cut in 4 lengthwise, then use my teeth to pull out each quarter from the peel.

Can't eat anything grapefruit - not fruit, not juice (love Ruby red), not Fresca. Not good for diabetics.

I used to eat it routinely years ago, but that was because I could always find good, juicy (i.e., not dry on the inside) grapefruit. The Ruby Red or Indian River grapefruit were my favorites. But then some years later, I kept getting ones that were partially dried out inside (some of them even a lot MORE than partially dried). I got to the point where I felt I was throwing money down the drain, so I stopped buying them.
My preferred technique to eat them was to peel them and separate each wedge like I do an orange. I recall I would take a sharp serrated knife and cut out the center portion if it had signs of a seed in it, but other than that, I never really used any implement to eat them with.

I just cut it in half. Then use a knife to separate the inside from the peel. Then eat the whole inside, except seeds.

I can no longer eat grapefruit either but when I ate it when I was younger, I would just peel it like an orange and eat each slice one at a time. When I was a kid, my mother would cut the grapefruit in half and pour sugar all over it and we would dig it out with a pointy spoon. (It seemed like in the 1950's mothers would pour sugar all over everything to get kids to eat but there were very few fat kids, I guess we played so hard, we really burned the calories)

I will eat one, when I feel the urge to dissolve the calcium from my teeth.
