the grape debate

so one of the many 'discussions' suzanne and i had on my last visit was regarding grapes in fruit salad. the issue was whether or not the grapes should be cut in half or kept whole. as you can see in the picture of this gorgeous fruit salad...suzanne's 'keeping the grapes whole' philosophy was clearly in the right. the reason it works so well here is because of the melon baller technique, which i haven't ever used because i don't own a melon baller. so, as it turns out everything looks gorgeous because of the many round pieces of fruit. my fruit salad on the other hand is quite different than this one and i will make it soon, so i can post a picture for everyone to see. in my fruit salad i slice the grapes in half because it drives me crazy when i'm trying to eat the salad and the grapes are rolling all over the place...but this only works if the other fruit is sliced and not balled.
