This is the way my mother used to serve grapefruit to me. She would take a knife and cut the fruit from the rind, and slice each segment so they would come out easily with a spoon.
And there would be lots of sugar of course.
Now I just peel my grapefruit like an orange and eat it that way.
I love grapefruit, but without sugar. The pink ones, if I can get my hands on them, I peel and eat like oranges. But we used to serve all grapefruit like that with the segments cut around
Thank goodness for photoshop - most of the grapefruit I found were more beige or white than pink - lol!
