[Closed] What's your favourite fruit?

Mango.

There is nothing on planet earth as beautiful as a good peach.

Can you think of anything other than a sunset that shares such a sublime colour?

Mmmm. Peaches.

An orange. It was designed to be shared.

Pineapple. Scaly and weird on the outside, tasty on the inside.

Apples. Fermented.

hhmm - tricky one. I really like most fruits.
But I am quite specific. IF I'm eating an apple it must be crisp. I hate a soft floury apple. Equally bananas must be bordering on overripe - I hate a green, hard banana.

I deeply dislike most kinds of melon though for some reason. But ice cold water melon is okay.

Purple.

I don't like fruit, but Peaches and Apricots are the only ones I eat.

Grapes. Juiced...

that hath been cooled a long age in the deep delved earth,
tasting of flora and of the country-green,
dance and provencal song and sunburnt mirth.
o for a beaker off the warm South,
full of the true and blushful Hippocrene
with beaded bubbles winking at the brim
and a purple stained mouth.

Can't believe I remember Keats 20 years after being told to memorise it.

Seriously though, ripe mangoes are incredible. Really perfumy and almost sickly-sweet.

Tomatoes.

fruit pastels

or an apple but a nice anc cold one, I also think apples taste better directly after being run under a tap so there is a tiny bit of water on the skin.

Kiwi. Tangy and awesome.

Oranges, but they're not the only fruit.

Oh and cider.

A strawberry, on top of a bit of cake.

I like Kiwis too. I eat the skin too as it provides a nice slightly bitter contrast to the sweetness of the fruit. I might be alone in this habit I suspect.

Surprised there's been no mention of Neil yet?

wild strawberries - tiny little explosions of taste
physalids - they're awesome,

Nectarine! Like a peach but less fluffy with a sharper taste and massively more betterer!!

Orange here by a mile, they do their best not to be eaten as the skin is so hard to peel but sliced up they are just marvelous

Victoria plums.

I'm surprised no one has pointed out a banana isn't a fruit. This place is really going downhill.

Too many to choose from but I do love strawberries and raspberries, have to be when in season though.

cranberries & raspberries

Too many from the far east coz they all taste very nice.

But a quick consideration ...

Unlike Cavendish bananas - some of our local bananas is full of seeds.

Durian - King of fruits

Persimmon I love em

Blackberries
Clementines
Russet apples

Me! 😀

I'm a big fan of grapes, little bundles of flavor in a snacks sized skin. Apples too, albeit crunchy, sweet ones, are also damn fine. Banana's I see as purely functional, I eat them instead of energy bars but I can't say I particularly enjoy them.

Do you really like durian chewkw? I've never got around to eating it (10 years in S.E. Asia).

In reverse order of awesomeness:

3. Mango
2. Blackberries
1. Raspberries

Chirimoya is quite cool. Mangos and nectarines too.

Cherries

Pineapples too, but the ones eaten fresh in South America have way more flavour than those shipped to Europe

Arctic Cloudberries (although that was more of a favourite jam flavour - not had real ones for years)

Cabernet Sauvignon

Cloudberries? a new one on me. They look well tasty.

Rubus chamaemorus is a rhizomatous herb native to alpine, arctic tundra and boreal forest, producing amber-colored edible fruit similar to the raspberry or blackberry.

Where does one purchase fruit native to the arctic tundra?

Yes, I love them and so are most people in SE Asia except my sister. As a kid she thought we were consuming cat shite because of the smell. 😀

I can eat more than 10 easy when I was a kid but nowadays I can only eat about 5 to 6 as my body might not be able to handle all the stored energy. They are very high in energy btw. Once consume you may not feel hungry for a long time. Traditionally native people eat at meal time.

If you eat Durian you should also eat Purple mangosteen (Queen of fruits) to counter the effect of the energy as I was told.

Love a juicy Cherry Tomato, but could gorge on Blueberries all day long.

Processed cocoa bean (a fruit) for me 😉

Ah. Where are you from Chewk?

I also know you shouldn't drink and eat durian too. Something to do with it warming your insides, or your brain exploding or something like that.

My home town is in the 'Land below the wind' (google this term).

Yes, you should Not eat and drink alcohol with durian or deep fried food coz the energy build up will be too strong for the body to handle. I kid you not.

If you have high blood pressure you should avoid eating Durian altogether or if you cannot resist than just eat 2 - 3 seeds. More you might go into coma ... 😆

Sounds like you have been listening to a Chinese Doctor Chewkw, my wife comes out with stuff like that all the time?

Lychee. Like little tasty eyeballs.

Purchase? You can find them in the Highlands and the Cheviots but very hard to spot.
