Fruits in general FTW, but there's fruits that I eat on a regular basis and fruits I don't like. Fruits that are starred are the ones I enjoy the most.

*White Seedless Grapes
*Bananas ( Your standard yellow cavendish, red bananas, and my favorite: The Ice Cream Musa taken straight from my backyard)
Oranges
Black Plums
Bing Cherries
Pluots
*Kiwis
*Cripps/Pink Lady Apples
Granny Smith
Golden Delicious (From my backyard)
*Yellow Peaches (Backyard)
*Nectarines
*Berries (Strawberries, blackberries, and most of all blueberries)
*Almost all types of pears. There's a couple I don't care much for, but I like most
Oranges (any kind)



Hate:

Honeydew
Canteloupe
Grapefruit
Watermelon
Mango
Pomegranite (They're ok I guess, but too much work)


Don't care much for:

Apricots
Pineapple



Yes, I am indecisive

If they are seedless, isn't it a vegetable? :confused:

I guess by definition... maybe, but they're only seedless because of genetic mutation and human selection.

Which is why you don't see seeded bananas on the market, and you're starting to see seedless watermelons.

And they taste even better fresh off the tree:)

I like all kinds of fruit, but I think mangosteens, rambotans, mangos, and peaches are among my favorites

I've eaten quite a few varieties, and while there's a certain appeal, I don't love 'em..

The foods of the gods!

Faves when they are good:

berries -just about any but especially strawberry (alas, tasteless crunchy mutants designed for longevity and shipping are most prevalent)

nectarine and peach (again, seems harder to get good ones these days)

cherry ('nuff said)

pineapple (easy to get good ones but uber sweetness & acidity limits gluttony potential ;))

grape (crunchy FTW -usually implies green, sometimes red)

mellon (any variety any time... bring it on!)

mango (preferably red but the yellow variety are good too)


Standbys not to get too excited about:
banana
kiwi
plum
apple (most varieties though usually avoid yellow skin and also red skin with yellow inside)
pear
orange (except mandarin)

Mangoes definitely

Guava!

Asian pears both the crunchy and soft varieties, there are numerous Asian varieties of pear. I'm not crazy about the ordinary pear but it's not bad.

Strawberries

Mangosteins, can't be had in the US but you can buy them here in Canada.


ORLY?!?!?!
