Explanation:

Scarlett's dad's comment "you're not meant to eat the whole thing, silly" implies the fruit needed preparation like peeling. There's no evidence she doesn't like new foods as she bravely took a bite. There's no indication of a joke or her preference for vegetables over fruit.

Answer:

Scarlett should have peeled the fruit before eating it.
