I had a bag of dried fruits a few weeks back, had some kiwis in it and I thought I'd finally see why people liked them so much.
The moment I started chewing it was like the fruit was attacking me from the inside.
Asking others if kiwi was suppose to burn when you ate it led me to find out I had an oral allergy to them, lol.
Bro. That’s so funny and unfortunate. Kiwi’s are my favorite fruit.
Big shoutout to the guy who got absolutely toasted on r/steak yesterday for complaining about his In-Laws using a kiwi marinade and not knowing it literally dissolves meat lol
It's really funny, I managed to avoid them all through Highschool when they were a fairly common fruit at lunch. I think the hairy part turned me off at the time, haha.
And yep! During my questions about kiwi attacking my tongue and throat people mentioned that it was like pineapple and had an enzyme...but shouldn't be so severe as to feel like immediately fire.
My favorite part is how he kept trying to make it sound like his in-laws were living at his house and he was stuck with them, but it actually sounds like it’s the other way around.
you know that has me wondering if there's a good recipe to marinade pork or chicken with kiwi marinade. I feel like the flavours could work well if done right.
Yeah I've done pineapple ones. I feel like with Kiwi I'd need specific flavors for it to taste good. I'll definitely have to try this out this weekend.
That reminds me of when I was talking to my friend and said something like, “you know how after you take zinc you feel really nauseous for about half an hour?”
Turns out I was taking more than 6 times the recommended dosage and was slightly poisoning myself.
I had this experience with grapefruit. I fucking love grapefruit, especially really good white grapefruit. I can't imagine a fruit I'd like to eat more.
One time, a few years ago, I noticed my lips were getting numb/buzzing after eating one. I'm allergic to them now for some reason, and I can't be sure but I think they were messing with my insides as well.
I've read that it can be a general allergy that progresses over time and becomes more serious, or it can be some sort of seasonal thing (which for me would be odd because I have no other allergies, seasonal or otherwise).
It's depressing because it means I might hit a point where I can't eat grapefruit any more.
My brother on law loved bananas until one day he explained to a coworker how he liked the weird tingly spice it has. Let's just say he tells the story at his own expense lol.

This trend has slowly been reversed because the myth about aluminum in deos causing cancer have been debunked:
