Huckleberries are indeed pure mountain goodness.

Unfortunately, they have a very limited growing range.

My wife & I, both being from Spokane, grew up picking them in the mountains of N.E Washington and N. Idaho. Kinda hard to find here in Kahleeforneeya. 😛


Loki, in spite of it's non-fruity technicalness...Peaches are probably my FAVORITE summer fruit...Gotta be freestones, but most varieties are golden deliciousness.

than the peach? :heart:

haters to the left.

I discovered white freestone peaches- they taste like peaches with a hint of honey. We've been eating them like candy for the last two weeks.

Also, those Dinosaur Egg plums are in season. They taste like giant cherries. Another good choice.

Cantaloupe.

Oh and everyone just ignore ja1484. All he / she does is try to argue with everyone.

No I don't!

You people never heard of watermelon? Wow.

 

[marincounty]

Ambrosia melon. Like a cantaloupe, only sweeter and juicier.

 

[CallMeJoe]

Peaches!

I buy a peck about every ten days; it's one of the great joys of summer here in South Carolina.

watermelon's alright, but ultimately requires too much effort when I just want something to toss into my lunch bag... and it tends to be available year-round, unlike peaches which I never see during the winter/early spring unless they're canned.

 

[sandorski]

Yup!

 

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

cherries

 

[Udgnim]

will always be seedless watermelon for me

 

[God Mode]

durians for all you fruitists and bacon cheeseburgers for me.

 

[Colt45]

watermelons are the best summer fruit tho.

 

[Schadenfroh]

Dates are the best fruit no matter the time of year. I could eat a pound of those tasty things. Chill them in the summer.

Nobody cares about the dictionary, they just care about their opinion of the world. Thats all that matters.

I'm really not all that concerned. I was just stirring shit up.

Strawberries.

 

[IronWing]

Blackberries, freshly picked, straight from the plant into your mouth, ants, spiderwebs and all. If you have to kick a grizzly bear in the face to get to the berries, even better.

 

[SilverThief]

I have been eating peaches all weekend.
🙂

 

[Chaotic42]

Cherries.

Strawberries are more of a late spring fruit than a summer fruit.

Also, context is everything. Why the hell would we use a botanical definition in a thread about food. Or, is Ja1484 going to come up with new food groups?
