For whatever reason, my kids do not like grapes. I don't know why.
My 13 year old son was sick the other day, but he kept wanting to eat. He had enough of bananas and berries . . . so I threw some red grapes on his plate. I expected that he would just leave them there.
He ate them ALL 
. "Can I have some more grapes?" he asked.
I couldn't believe it. "I thought you hated them".
"I don't know," he said. "These are really good, Mom!".
Maybe being sick did something to his taste buds 
. That's fine. So silly me rushed out this morning to go buy some more grapes.
I gave him some grapes and what does he say . . . "I don't want them".
I said, "You loved them the other day, what happened?".
His reply, "I just don't like the concept of grapes". Concept??? 
.
Do you enjoy grapes?

There are several types of grapes. Maybe they don't like the seeds. Do they like raisins?

@much2say .......I thought maybe it was due to the seeds. I guess we all have our likes and dislikes.

@celticeagle When I was kid, I think I do recall not liking the bitter seeds! But I still liked the grape part itself.

I hope your son is well again soon. Funny you should mention grapes. My friends gave me some red ones without seeds and they were delicious. When I was a child I loved all candy that was grape flavored,

@RasmaSandra Ohhh, I have never thought of putting jelly/jam on cottage cheese . . . I'll have to try that though I know it would be good!

Oh, lord. That is hilarious! Kids are so puzzling.
I’m not a big grape fan now, but as a child I sure was. I always wanted grape juice, but it was too expensive for my parents to buy. So, after our church had The Lord’s Supper one Sunday, I sneaked into the church kitchen, got the grape juice out of the fridge, and gulped down half of a cup! I put it back in the fridge, and scurried back into the church foyer where everyone was saying goodbye. I was so happy!

I don't like the concept of grapes either I'm not sure what it is. It always makes me cringe. Glad your son is feeling better! Have a nice weekend.

I love them, but have to really limit them because of the sugar. I freeze them sometimes and suck on them. I am less likely to overindulge that way.

@much2say I like all the variety if they are sweet and make it a point to take them whenever they are in the market.

Does it make a difference if they're red grapes or green grapes? My family seems to prefer green ones, but they're definitely more tart than red ones.

I have a friend whose kids/family prefer the green ones too. Hubby and I will take any grapes . . . recently we're loving the black ones. I am thinking you probably have at your work those fancy ones . .. like cotton candy or moondrops?

@spiderdust I love those cotton candy ones but right - we don't see them for too long. The moondrops are awesome - that one we don't see as long either. They're a bit on the pricey side, right?

@much2say We sometimes have the cotton candy ones, they have a pretty small season. I'm not fond of them though, they just taste like sugar to me. The moondrops though -- WOW! They have very intense flavor! We don't have them in stock very often either, but I'll splurge on them when they show.

Ah,your son has been 13. Hope he feels better now ! Strange to sound,Your son doesn't like the concept of grapes. Don't know whether He doesn't like what the grapes look like or the pronunciation of grapes.

Yes, most kinds I mainly like the red and green. I think I don't like the black so much because it's hard to see if there are spots on them. I don't bother with the fancy, more expensive ones.
They are also good as a frozen treat on a hot day.

I used to not like the black - I thought the peel was rather tough and bitter. But eating them recently, it's totally not what I remembered. Ah, I didn't even think about spots. Right - the expensive ones like Cotton Candy - they can be expensive and there were times when I had a not too sweet batch. Oh yes, frozen is good too - it's been so long since I've done that!

@sathviksouvik I was reading about black grapes the other day, that they are particularly healthy. But I guess they all are good!
