Co Op Melon & Grape

Frank, the Shih Tzu, hates this.

At £1.59 for half a pound of chopped fruit weighing in at 92% water I should hate it too.

But, at 43 calories, it carries a 100% smug rating, not to mention the inclusion of a little plastic spork.

So it's the perfect meal replacement for those of us wanting to shed those winter pounds collected over the summer months.

I've just had one for lunch. The 50% of melon pieces that weren't diced too include too much rind were tasty and 8 out of the 10 or so grapes that weren't utterly rotten and disgusting were commendably firm and sweet.

I feel thinner already. Time for a cuppa and some de-smugging with digestive biscuits.
