What's your favourite fruit?
 
I can't decide between a nice ripe Kensington Pride mango and a Hawaiian Sunrise papaya. I like other types of fruit, cherries and blueberries when they're in season or if I'm in England some Kent strawberries and raspberries but maybe because I can be a bit flash, I always come back to mangoes or papayas when I want something nice.

Probably plums but sometimes they can look delicious and they're disappointing. When they're good they are orgasmic. Peaches.

You like the medium sized squishy fruits. Hmm, from a theoretical psychology perspective I wonder what that suggests about your personality?

I'm with you Oink, I'm right into tropical fruits and melons.;)

We spend around $40/week on fruit. The kids love it.

The Fuji japanese restuarant chain in Thailand used to serve a plate of pineapple, papaya and watermelon for desert if you ordered set meal. The papaya always tasted a bit like sick which kind of put me off that fruit a bit. Mangoes are the business though. As are most of those tropical fruits like guava, dragon fruit etc.

Still if I had to pick a favourite it would be the russet apple.

Russet apple or a banana

Bit nervous about some of those weird ones although they do look interesting. They have them in GL market, so I might do a bit of research and branch out. I used to drink pineapple juice with some fizzy water when I went to the pub if I was driving.

Papaya DOES taste like sick - I can't understand why anyone eats it! :nod:

Cherries. I usually buy a pound in the summer when they are in season.

Actually, if you can get past the smell it is quite delicious.

I like papaya with a squeeze of fresh lime juice. I also like kiwi fruit, rambutans, kumquots, Japanese Nashi pears, langsat, lychees, pomelo, loganberry, raspberry, blackberry, rhubarb, apples and all the usual ones.

How to pick one as a favourite??

:confused:

As a holder for the vodka.
