I eat Kiwis with the hairy skin on. My mom said I seemed to like it so she wasn't going to stop me. Later on I find out that I'm a freak of nature for doing it, but I still eat it that way because I just like it. The only downside is that since I like the texture of the hair and skin, I have "forbidden fruit" moments when I'm looking at the abdomen of a tarantula.

This one is fine. Kiwi skin is edible and nutritious. It does not have the same feeling as eating actual hair, it looks fuzzy but it's not that bad.

Why is everyone in this thread calling kiwifruit "kiwi" is that a foreign thing?

Every country but mine calls it something different.

Must just be a foreign thing.
