Fruit

[Xanatos]

Your favorite fruit? How often do you eat fresh fruit? And so on.

Mine's pear, I'm obsessed with it. We grow our own, my father has several pear trees around the house. We also have a lot of blackberries around the area, they taste great on their own, but even better as a jam. I used to gather blackberries during hot summer days so my mother could make me a blackberry jam. I found myself eating a lot of grape lately, in general I don't eat fruit all that often. I'm not really fond of apples, I love the taste of it, it's just, I get goosebumps while eating or peeling an apple, strange I know.

Telegraph had a good idea for a fruit: Pearpaya. A mix of a pear and a papaya. Hey if Grapples can be a thing, I think why not that as well? ^^

I like bananas, but wish they didn't brown so soon. But then they're good for making banana bread, so yay~

I actually really enjoy most fruits, but don't really eat enough of the fresh kind. Most of the ones I keep around are in cans loaded with heavy syrup.

Having pear trees sounds AWESOME.

I can't pick a favorite. Omg. I eat fresh fruit every day. It's my favorite food group and I crave it. I've been eating strawberries almost every morning, so I'd say those have got to rank pretty high (bonus: I got red currants at the store today to have with my breakfast tomorrow yaaayyy). I love the taste of raspberries maybe more than strawberries, but they just don't keep very long. So strawberries every day!

I love all berries.

Right now in this very moment, my favorite is figs, but that's because I just finished making a fig/honey/lavender/lemon thyme/walnut jam that is incredible.

Mangos are great, I just rarely want to take the time to peel them. Same for pineapple, but I just buy it cubed because I'm lazy and love pineapple.

Summertime? WATERMELON!!!!

Peaches, when they're in season, are in the top 5. But ugh it's easy to get a bad (mushy) peach. I don't trust them most of the time.

Top 5 fa sho includes muscadines. They're a type of grape that grows down in southeast USA. They're sweet with thick, tart skin and I eat them like candy when they're in season. I loooove them.

And in the winter through spring, I buy bags of clementines at a time.

I could go on and on.

I've never eaten fruit out of a can...the idea is just meh. I eat fresh fruit rather frequently. I USUALLY buy bananas, apples and oranges. I like berries, strawberries, grapes, etc etc lol

I actually dislike melons though.

Funny thing is, I didn't know what a papaya was when I came up with that. Also, we have two apple trees and one pear tree. We do not eat any of the fruit from said trees.

Favorite fruit.... I eat a lot of apples, but I think they're just readily available. Strawberries might be my actual favorite. Love me some strawberries. Anyhoo...

I eat quite a bit of fresh fruits. I eat apple all throughout the day, as well as bananas. I have developed quite a liking towards Kiwi's. I have never really been fond of strawberries.

I grew up surrounded by fruit and vegetables grown by my dad. We had: three apple trees (all varieties we couldn't get in supermarkets because of their small size, but my God were they sweet-tasting), two plum trees, a peach tree, a feijoa tree, three large strawberry plants that eventually went feral, and a lemon tree that produces fruit seemingly all-year-round. In the vegetable garden, staples were broad beans, peas, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, carrots, potatoes, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, spring onions, and probably some other stuff I can't remember. My backyard was a supermarket and fruit bowl.

I got used to non-cosmetic-looking produce pretty quickly and still think supermarket fruit and veges look fake.

For fruit, I love apples, mandarins, bananas, red-fleshed plums and almost any kind of berry. Apart from plums (which are my favourite), I haven't been without these as long as I can remember.

My favourite fruit would have to be oranges. I eat like 3 a day. Citrus fruits and stone fruits like nectarines top my list. I love berries as well but my favourites are Blueberries. I have it in my breakfast and desserts. Your soo lucky you get to grow your own fruit!! Thats like my dream not the pesticide ridden shit in the supermarkets so I go to the small health food stores to get them organic. They taste the best that way esp when it comes to organic apples. I envy you! ,P

Alpha, you are so lucky! Can I come over?


The only fruit I've ever grown in my yard is blueberries. We have a couple blueberry bushes back home and every summer I pick several pounds of them. And eat them ALL.

I enjoy berries, especially when they are blended into a smoothie. I like juicy pears, not nash pears which are crunchy and like a dissapointing apple. Since I like most fruits, ill just tell you the ones I dont like.

I dont like cantelope or Watermelon.

My favorite fruit is strawberry. It's honestly one of the only ones I eat. I like a lot of strawberry drinks like smoothies and shakes. I also like the one that goes with it, Bananas. Both separate or together. Those are the 2 I eat the most, other then tomatoes. Blueberries are up there as well as honey dew...mmm

[RamesesII]

My favourite fruit is Banana it is a good natural energy, I also like lemonades, lemons (to cook and bake with) peaches and nectarines, blood oranges , cumquats have a peculiar taste but are good as a jam or preserve.

We have a lemonade tree a mandarin tree and a lime tree at home.
When I was growing up we had a nectarine tree but I think the previous tenants panted it as a mistake because you can get a floral nectarine tree and a fruit producing one (both produce fruit but the differences should be obvious) and the planted the fruit bearing one instead.

Mango would be another of my favourites, that was one of my favourite pastimes a s a kid was sitting in the summer shade sucking on a mango seed.

As good as fruit is you should be careful you don't eat to much because fructose is hard for the body to digest therefore it goes elsewhere.
Vegetables are the more important way to go.

I went on a watermelon kick a couple of months ago. Tesco's were doing this offer on pre-prepared fruit, £3 for two packs, and I took advantage of that offer every time I went.

I also like grapes and apples, which is fortunate as I have a fruit bag instead of fries for my break allowance most days (which contains apples and grapes). Although I recently went through a stage where the apple pieces didn't taste right (I think they were starting to turn...) so I resorted to fries for a few days. Not good.

My favourite fruit would be.... Peach. I love it! But I eat almost every fruit, once in a while.
