Was it real fruit they ate or does the fruit represent something else?

Nothing intelligent would come from me and you are the one asking if fictional people ate pomegranates or was it something made of holy spirit plaster of paris

I heard a good one today, an elder is supposed to have opined in the WT "study" that the snake probably ate* some of the fruit itself, to show to EVE that
the fruit was not LETHAL but real.
satan, the beef-eater of the ancient world.
The spin-off from the Eden story is a good yarn, but
DO NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.
your credibility will suffer
badly.
*of course it makes sense because while snakes are caniverous today, they were vegetarion, tree-fruit eaters before the flood that covered everest.

Adding to the mystery of whether the fruit was literal, I present Genesis 3:22.
In this verse we find that God has almost been outdone and is on edge about what Adam and Eve might do next. They have already become like God [these are God's words] just as the serpent had said. So God is concerned that they might next eat from the other tree, the tree of life, and live forever. God cannot have this to be the outcome. So they are banished from the garden.
Yeah, that sounds like a real event.

yeah, he thought it better to have to sacrifice his son to substitue for the tree of life and get the credit that way.
Not just people to top dog-god too can be his worst enemy.
it is litteral.
from the word litter, like bed,
the DREAMS you have thereon, record it and pretend it is real.
