My dad used to eat grapefruit. He would go through some ritual of
separating the segments using a grapefruit knife before sprinkling on
some sugar. I tried it and found the ritual relaxing and the taste
delicious. I was getting into the fruit until I found out that
grapefruit was incompatible with my diabetes medication. My foray into
grapefruit heaven lasted a couple of months. Even now, I dream of
grapefruit every now and then.

i used to devour grapefruit like there's no tomorrow, i love it.
but in 2012 due to afib i had to stop. propafenone (rythmol)
medicine prevents me from being able to eat it. it's the only
thing i love to eat that i can't. i guess that's fortunate at
age early 60's so far. :shrug:

That's interesting. I'll store that factoid in my data bank. AFib = no
grapefruit.

propafenone = no grapefruit. i take propafenone to control afib.

You are correct about that. OTOH, I know what atrial fibrillation is. I
have no idea what propafenone is. I don't even know how to pronounce it.
