What is your favorite fruit?

[skygazer]

I'm eating a very juicy and yummy orange which makes me think about fruits. What's your favorite?

[Diana Prince]

1. Love peaches and nectarines.

I really like the small little ones that are called the donut or ufo peaches.

[DarkTirade]

2. Harvey Firestein. He is teh awesome.

Seriously though, I love blackberries. Not too sweet or tart, just a nice mellow fruit with plenty of juice and flavor if its own. :P

[Skittles]

21. LOL DT!!!!

we are on the same page - Harvey was my first thought - OMG I LOVE THAT GUY. Raspberries/blackberries second! :thumbsup:

[DarkTirade]

24. Rasberries are like blackberries with ADHD.

A little more kick, a little more sugar.

And Harvey Firestein is frikkin' awesome. I remember seeing a little speech he did for some kind of GLBT awareness event a year or two ago... they played it on PBS and it was just awesome. He just cut right past the bullshit and made a great speech. Cut through the anti-gay propoganda bullshit we hear all too often and made a simple case for equal rights. I don't even remember the details anymore, it's been a while, but it was awesome. :P

[Skittles]

26. aw, he is just wonderful

a voice like a gravel road too - I LOVE HIM! :hi:

[Duppers]

38. you know he post on this forum, don't ya?

well, his double does anyway.

[DarkTirade]

44. If you ever see him, tell him I want to have his babies.

I know that's physiologically impossible, but still... :P

[Iggo]

3. Oranges.

Them little mandarin ones.

The perfect food. Mmm, mmm, mmm!

[hippywife]

4. I can't pick one.

Never met a fruit I didn't like. They are all my favorites. Nature's candy! :hi:

[Fox Mulder]

5. Blueberries.

[grannylib]

6. I voted pears, but it's so hard to choose! I do love strawberries and

black raspberries too...and oranges...

[YankeyMCC]

7. I can't believe I was the first to vote for apples nt

[Danmel]

8. Blueberries

I can eat a pint of them at one sitting.

[Lyric]

9. I voted Apples, but

only because I interpreted the poll as "fruit eaten by itself". My favorite fruit is strawberries, but I can't tolerate them plain--too sour. I like them sliced up and sprinkled with a little bit of sugar, or diced up and put into a blender with some ice, lowfat vanilla yogurt, and a spoonful of sugar. :)

My absolute favorite fruit to eat raw and plain is white grapes--but only the really sweet, burst-in-your-mouth juicy kind. The semi-mushy ones are gross. :hi:

17. You haven't really had an apple

until you've eaten a Honeycrisp.

[yellowdogintexas]

43. oh is that ever true. LOVE them.

but I also like:
Jazz
Pink Lady
Pacific Rose
Gala
Pinata

thanks to Weight Watchers and Central Market I have become quite the variety seeker in the apple area. CM usually has about a dozen different varieties at any given time. And they always always have Minnesota Honeycrisps in the fall.

[CTyankee]

10. The perfect nectarine in season. The perfume alone is intoxicating.

The taste on top of a morning cereal or in a fruit compote is delightful to your sense of sight as well as smell and taste.

For that matter, MOST fruit in season is wonderful. Strawberries in June. Those little wild blueberries from Maine that are in season for about one week in August...

[bigwillq]

11. Oranges

But I really like mango.

[femmocrat]

12. Watermelon.

Mmmmm.....

[sarge43]

13. Bing cherries

Love me those pink and gold beauties.

[pokerfan]

14. Ababai

[flvegan]

15. Grapefruit.

[Generic Brad]

30. But not just any grapefruit

Those pink Texas grapefruits are the best! (Sorry, Florida).

[bicentennial_baby]

16. Even though I haven't had it in forever...Kumquat

:9

[cbayer]

18. Avocado

And yes, it is a fruit.

[FloridaJudy]

19. Papaya

Mangoes, raspberries, strawberries, cherimoyas, avocados. All the expensive ones, alas!

[Pool Hall Ace]

20. grapefruit

a.k.a. pamplemousse :9

[Brigid]

22. Bananas.

I love all kinds of fruits, but bananas would be my first choice. :)

[volstork]

23. No one has mentioned

pineapple! There is nothing like a sweet, ripe pineapple on a hot day!

[Sheltiemama]

25. Raspberries

Put sugar on them, let them make a syrup, then eat over vanilla ice cream. Yum!

[hyphenate]

27. Pineapple eom

[tigereye]

28. strawberries and then blueberries are my faves

[Rhythm]

29. Anjou pears...

I have little if any use for the other varieties, but a perfectly ripe, juicy Anjou pear is like heaven on the tongue.

[DFW]

31. Apricots

Nothing comes close, especially the "red-orange" ones you can pick
right off the trees in southern France in late June through mid-July.

[Pierre.Suave]

32. My favorite fruit is

Forbidden Fruit!!

:evilgrin:

[Sugar Smack]

33. Plums and blueberries.

!!!!!

[YellowRubberDuckie]

34. Strawberries.

[Phoonzang]

35. Lemons

[bixente]

36. I went on this massive mango binge once

That memory really stands out.

[ghostsofgiants]

37. Strawberry, grape or lemon.

[Alexander]

39. You forgot the greatest fruit ever, strawberries.

[Duer 157099]

40. Can't say

I think in every other food category I can name a favorite, but with fruit, there are too many that are my favorites, there's no way I can narrow it down to one or even a few.

Fruit rocks.

[Jamastiene]

41. Strawberries, but I eat way more

tomatoes, so I should really nominate tomatoes.

[yellowdogintexas]

42. that was difficult. I eat 2 apples per day on average

I LOVE bananas but they have more points than apples so I eat apples.

but my favorite favorite of all is a really good peach or nectarine in season. So I voted for those
