Undoubtedly mangoes, I eat one a day as dessert from breakfast!

Next: cherries of course!

I like berries, too. There's a farm not far from where I live where you
can go pick strawberries (in season, of course). I used to pick wild
raspberries and blackberries when I lived in the Northern part of the
US. Watch out for those thorns, though! Blueberries are good, too.
Mmmmm, blueberry muffins.

That's your obvious answer. I never have been a fan of any type of
melons. I don't like watermelon, cantaloupe or honeydew.

Oranges are okay if you can get the bitter white pith off when you peel
them.

I use canned mandarin oranges in a marinade for grilled pork. Sometimes
I eat them as a snack.

You had me confused, McBiddy, but apparently a mandarin orange is what
I'd simply call a mandarin.

It's hard to pick a favourite. There are those that I like but can't
eat, those that I like but have trouble getting nice and fresh and ripe
and those I like but which are outrageously expensive. I eat a banana
just about every day. I also eat a lot of strawberries. I love oranges
but they disagreed with my digestive system for so many years that I
tend to avoid them. I really really like mangoes but they are very
expensive here and they are usually far from ripe and never ripen
properly. Frankly, I am better off buying frozen mango. It is usually
sort of being ripe but it is much cheaper and there is so much less waste.

When I was a kid the usual variety of grapes we had were Concord, and I
never cared for them. With that tough skin and the texture of the
flesh it was like biting into eyeballs. Now we get table grapes yer
round and I love them. A few grapes make a great snack.

You have to get the best ones in season. I've been ordering from the
Orange Shop and they are far better than what you find in the
supermarket. Peeling them you get your hands soaked with the sweet juice.

Watermelon, I think. Although, I still drool at the thought of a nice,
ripe, loquat, even though I haven't had one in decades.

I do that when I eat my mango. I slice down either side of the flat seed and peel the skin off the seed portion and eat with my hands! Sweet mango juice all over my hands! :-)

That's a tough call to pick just one. I guess I'll have to go with
raspberries, always been a favourite and we've been eating tons of
them for the past couple of months. They are tapering off now but the
blackberries have been ripening in the past few weeks.

My least favourite fruits all happen to post to RFC.

I know mangoes are nice, but having unlimited access to them as a kid
kinda ruined them for me. Same for barramundi.

They're very expensive individually, but sometimes they sell a tray of
20 for $24 or so.

I grew really nice raspberries in south tas. The type with slightly
furry skin if that makes sense. Then, one winter, it was so wet for so
long that the roots must have rotted and the plants all died.

That's a shame, maybe not the best spot to put them. My best friend
has gone semi-commercial with raspberries so I don't bother growing
them myself. I want to get some Loganberry vines this year and really
need to get more serious about blueberries, which is also a big
favourite of mine.

My dad used to grow raspberries. He started with just a plant or two and
soon they took over his yard. They're darned hard to get rid of too! For
years, in season, I took home more than I knew what to do with. I was
having to find creative ways to use them. No one in the family liked jam.
At least not raspberry jam and really we didn't eat enough of any jam to
bother with making it. I was kind of glad when he finally managed to get
rid of all the plants. I don't really dislike the things but I don't want
to have to eat them every day. And that's what I was doing because I didn't
have a lot of money in those days so free food was good food for me.

Cherries, although the fruit I eat most frequently is raisins,
followed by apples.

All my life, "red" has been my favorite flavor.

That said, I've been craving pineapple upside-down cake. I don't
want to make one and have the temptation staring at me, and I
can't find a bakery or restaurant hereabouts that has it.

Yes, they were always popping up in the lawn, a metre or more away
from their parents. I just kept mowing them down when I'd mow the
grass. It felt like a shame, but I didn't want to replace the lawn
with a raspberry plantation.

Mango - always loved it and confess I now buy bags of frozen mango so
I can handily have it at breakfast time. My grandmother grew some
Loganberries - never seen them since but loved them.

That's one of the nice things about living in a fruit belt. I can get
farm fresh fruits in season from my neighbours; sweet cherries, sour
cherries, raspberries, strawberries, back currants, peaches, pears,
apples, apricots, plums. Any time I get the urge to relocate I think
about how I would miss those things.

Fortunately I am in wine country, so all kinds are available in season, but I
only eat grapes a couple of times a year and I love all varieties.

I use chunks of frozen mango for the same purpose as pieces of frozen
banana. It's refreshing, cold, tasty and good for you.
