You guys made me laugh but you got me thinking last night and I guess fruit has always been used for decoration.
That must be why my grandma always had that wooden bowl of wax fruit at her house. The grapes would get pulled off of their fake vines and they were the hardest to keep dust free. I can remember tossing around some of the other items and I'd be told to put them down. Why? Were they afraid I'd hurt the plastic?
It's great to decorate with food you can eat, but I also see people decorate with lemons and limes too, which you can't really chow down on. They put it in big glass bowls. They do have a wonderful scent.
