Currently experiencing difficulties with tomato skin. I bought a box of Santa Sweets, usually very tender grape tomatoes. I find myself spitting out the skin. It's tough as rawhide.
Other than that, "skin-out"!

I guess I'm mostly a skinless guy, but one major exception is the (russet) potato. I want skin-on fries, and I'll pick at them to avoid the ones with no skin first. Usually when I have a baked potato, I scoop out and discard the innards down to about 1/4 inch from the skin, then add the butter, sour cream and chives. I do prefer mashed potatoes to be skinless though. Texture issue.

Chicken skin, if not a thick fatty part and stewed in a tasty sauce, can be really delish since it absorbs all the flavor.
Then there's chicken feet. Yum.
And Popeye's > KFC
I used to peel off grape skins as a kid. Now, I'm just too lazy, but would still prefer it.
