I love the purple grapes. :) I will eat the green ones too as long as they aren't sour.
 
I like the strapping lad who peels and seeds them for me, so of course, I like the seeded, big, juicy, purple ones. (not a word of this is half - true, lol) Just imagine him standing there with a fan.... sigh....

ahem.. I like grapes too!

Well, that's a danged shame! I don't think I've ever known anyone before that was allergic to grapes.

I didn't know it either growing up, but I never ate them then. It was revealed during an allergy test (the back-scratch test.) Many times when eating food from a deli I had an allergic reaction (even if the food didn't have grapes in it) that I wonder if they were sharing a spoon with a salad that did have grapes in it.

You know, that's possible. Or even a salad with raisins, as they are made from grapes. A lot of restaurants put raisins in a carrot slaw.

Maybe you just never had a taste for them and that was your body's way of protecting itself.

Very possible. I have seen salads with raisins in them. The interesting thing is that I can drink wine without a reaction. There must be something in the fermentation process that changes what I react to in grapes.

That is interesting. Yes, there must be something during fermentation that breaks down the substance that you react to. Someone versed on the chemical process behind fermentation could probably come up with the exact substance.
 
Same here, except before eating red grapes I have to put them in a bowl of water because there is something about the texture of their skin I can't stand if they're not washed. Sort of like a fuzzy texture.
 
I especially like concord grapes enough to put up with the seeds.
