Favorite fruit

[QChawks]

In the summer Mrs QC always has a huge container of mixed fruit in the fridge.

it’s typically cut up strawberries, bananas, grapes and peaches. Sometimes kiwi, raspberries or pineapple.

we tried mangos, blueberries and oranges but the kids usually won’t eat those. Nothing better than fresh fruit after lunch or dinner!

The combination of green grapes and watermelon in a fruit salad is hard to beat.

Sweet plums are great.

Hard plums, sweet cherries and nectarines.

Mandarin oranges

 

[Hawkfan_08]

Watermelon or pineapple. I always play this game with my wife of top 5 favorites. Fruit is always tough.

Your pic here proves my point in the other thread. Bravo!

 

[Ollie4ISU]

Durian

 

[seminoleed]

More mangos, please.

 

[Bulldogs1974]

A good watermelon and tomatoe are hard to beat.
Raspberry and mango runner up

Durian

Tastes like a combination of unwashed sweat socks, honey and death.

Had it once, was enough for me.

Durian

I like durian too but went with jackfruit instead. Dragon eyes (longan) are up there.

No that’s what it smells like. The flavor is sweet and refreshing.

If you taste with your nose plugged I suppose it is like a honey taste with avocado texture. But the smell is so connected with taste that I will stand by my comment. Had the Malay durian in Singapore which is supposed to be the strongest smelling from what I understand.

Not an expert for sure, and maybe it grows on you, but would not seek it out again.

Kumquat

 

[Brok85]

Cherimoya

 

[The_Gent]

Pineapple

Strawberry, banana, pinneaple, and mango are the only fruits I eat. Hard to pick a champion.

 

[claykenny]

Colorado peaches.

A friend of mine owns part of an orchard in Palisade. We stayed there during peach season. Outstanding.

 

[St. Louis Hawk]

Strawberries first, blueberries a very close second.

Other than those two, bananas, and grapes are really about it for me.

Love real key limes and apples in pies.

It’s kind of a cheat but I learned this in Hawaii....take half of a ripe papaya and in the cavity dump in the goo from two or three lilikoi/passion fruit. It’s the best fruit combo around, the sweet but almost savory papaya with the sour and flowery lilikoi/passion fruit is absolutely amazing.

If I have to go with one fruit only then it’s probably Plant City strawberries.

As a sidenote, if you can find Lemon Kiss melons you should grab one. They’re weirdly sharply sour and super sweet at the same time. Very unusual sourness in a melon.

My BIL retired and moved to Ecuador. They have all kinds of fruit there that people have never heard of because they don’t have a long shelf life so they can’t be shipped out of the country. Some were really, really good, some not so much but it was interesting trying them.
