A-Train vs. A Grapefruit [VIDEO]

http://youtu.be/bbmlgZhls-8 In the short video above, a patient talented woman with a steady hand "supremes" a grapefruit. I happen to have a grapefruit and a knife just like hers, however I have no patience, I'm fairly clumsy and I'm very hungry so lets see how this goes.

Not a bad start, both ends are cut off. The next procedure will be tricky. She appears to cut the peel and pith off in a rounded motion. Seven hacks for those of you keeping score at home.

The only real mistake is the big hunk off to the left ... I'm actually surprised it looks this good.

Voila! Clear pieces of delicious Ruby Red, each more succulent than the last! Did you really think I'd be able to do this? Although those pieces in that bowl are mine and they were great, I found this to be a messy, dangerous and wasteful exercise in frustration.

That sad sliced up remnant of a grapefruit still held a lot of the fruit and juice and I ate it like a starved grizzly over the trash can. I believe the only success I had was not having to visit the emergency room. Halving it and doing the best you can with a spoon is still the supreme way in my book.
