Fruit

[Dagger Dias]

There are lots of different fruit out there with all sorts of tastes. Many of which have popped up in other forms such as flavors in candy and ice cream. Everyone has different tastes. Some might prefer citrus, others might think berries are more their cup of tea. There's so many to pick from. Even the tomato, which many people don't know is a fruit.

So what is your favorite fruit and why?

What about your least favorite, why?

My favorites are strawberries because they taste great and I absolutely love their smell. I'm a berry guy so blueberries are also top tier. I like pretty much every berry that there is. My least favorite fruit are oranges, for the same reason that strawberries are at the top only the opposite is the case. Awful taste and smell that I can't stand.

Your turn!

Why the hate on Oranges? Come on now, it's citrus-y goodness.

Favorites gotta be granny smith apples. So sour and delicious. Seriously, it's like a candy that's healthy. There have been times when all I had to eat was that for about two weeks. Good stuff.

Least favorite are probably the assortment of melons. Watermelons, Cantaloupes, Honeydew, etc. Everybody I know likes watermelon. As I've been told, it's almost un-American not to like it. Whatever, it just tastes like bad flavored water to me.

Favs have got to be Mango!! I love it, especially the Haitian sweet one, omg full of juice and flavor. Second place goes to Raspberries, and Blackberries... I love those two.
Is Banana considered a fruit? if so... that would be my 3rd fav.

MY WORST: Cherries.... what is so special about them? They have no taste imo. And they get you really dirty when the juice drips on you. 2nd worst: Red Delicious Apples... they have no taste imo.

I'd have to say cold watermelon is my favorite fruit. It's deliciously sweet and cold and seems to complement any occasion; It goes well after a meal, it tastes good as a snack.

My least favorite fruit, if considered a fruit, is a tomato. It's only redeeming quality is that it's the primary ingredient in ketchup and even then its taste is amplified by loads of sugar.

 

[WWWYKI777]

My favorite fruits to eat are pears and watermelon probably is 2nd place

My favorite artificial fruit flavorings are grape and strawberry

The absolute worst tasting fruit in its natural form is of course , grapefruit. Its the most bitter shit in the whole world.

My most hated artificial fruit flavor is lemon , I always hate how they include lemon flavor in everything like Starburst , Mamba , Skittles , everything even though it basically sucks

I go through stages of having a different favourite fruit. At the moment I am on a Pear rampage, having a couple every day. I love them.

Also I am a big fan of banana's, strawberrys, apples, tangerines...I make sure I have about 3 pieces of fruit every day.

Errmmm, I cant really think of many fruits I don't like. Maybe melon, the ones that have loads of pips in..I hate pips. The pip-less melons are still pretty nice though.

Strawberries are pretty awesome. But they're a bit hit-and-miss. In season, English strawberries are amazing, but more and more shops are stocking their shelves with huge American ones which just aren't anywhere near as good. Like Matt Hardy, grapes are one of my favourite fruits. I love red and white in equal measure, and they're amazing frozen. You're basically just making capsules of slushy grape goodness.

As for fruit I hate, I'll go with bananas for a multitude of reasons. One, they don't taste great. They're not disgusting by any means, they're just not very good. Two, they have a horrible texture, way too soft. And if you then put it in a fruit salad, it gets even worse and impregnates everything else with the banana flavour. Three, they're quite fatty. The whole point of fruit is for it to be healthy. And finally, I can't spell the word. To quote Demetri Martin, "I never now how many "na"s to add".

I love fruit, and I even had a brief job in fruit (I worked in the produce section in a Kings supermarket), so it's impossible to pick a favorite. Among my favorites are bananas, blueberries, cantelope, and nectarines.

I can't really think of any least favorite fruits, though I'm not a particularly big fan of honeydew. I used to not like pineapple, but then I went to Hawaii and I learned to love the stuff. I don't like pomegranate or tomatoes either, but none of these are things that I simply can't tolerate.

 

[WWWYKI777]

none of these are things that I simply can't tolerate.

Yeah , fruits like that and I think its because on the most natural level like if humans lived in the wild and didn't invent tools , then fruit would be pretty much our exclusive source of food.

Cause think about it , without tools we surely wouldn't eat meat cause we couldn't kill or cook the animals so that would be out. Most vegetables are awful raw so though they'd still probably be in it wouldn't account for as much as fruit.

On a totally natural tool-free level humans diet would be things like mostly fruit and whatever nuts , grains , and some vegetables they could get. Just like monkeys I guess lol

The thing though is like I had said grapefruit , grapefruit w/o sugar poured all over it is literally disgustingly bitter to me , yet nobody else has yet agreed with me on that? Or is it just being overlooked? Thats the one fruit I can think of that is just not even really edible in its pure state , just way too bitter

What the hell are you talking about? Bananas are great source for Vitamins, minerals, and potassium that help regulate a body. The only "fats" in Bananas are the unsaturated fat, which the body NEEDS in order to grow. Plantains, the banana-like starchy vegetable, are what come with a lot of fats, but even still like a lot of health magazines and doctors have said (if you're capable of reading) it's the kind of fats that your body needs. I swear some people should really do research before spewing off nonsense...

Anyway, my favorite fruit is Kiwi. I've been obsessed with these things for like my entire life and eat them on a constant basis. When they're in perfect season, there's absolutely nothing that can match the taste of it.

Another favorite is bananas actually. I love the taste of them because it's different from all the berries and apple-like fruits that you just know it's a banana. Not to mention, when you put banana flavoring in deserts, it just calls out to me like money to Donald Trump.

As for my least favorite, I don't really think I have one. I love fruit for their natural flavors and honestly enjoy each one. Even tomatoes, which are berry fruits, have a decent taste to them that at times make them irresistible.

So what is your favorite fruit and why?

Strawberry! It's sweet and sour. Looking as cute is a plus too. No, really. They're very cute. They taste awesome dipped in chocolate. Nomnomnom. ♥ But you already knew that! If you didn't... You obviously haven't lived.
Mango! It's amazing. Having grown up very close to my grand parents' place which had a huge mango tree in it definitely played its role.

What about your least favorite, why?

Orange - I can't even stand the smell! And I despise those seeds which are so determined to get bitten by me. -.-
Banana - I really like baby bananas. But I dislike the other types to a great extent. Mum forcing me to eat them because they're just lying around doesn't help either.

 

[Notorious718]

I absolutely love fruits so it's hard for me to pick a favorite myself. Among my favorites are bananas, mangoes, strawberries, and grapes. Not sure why bananas get so much flak but I like them a lot myself but only when they're ripe enough. I admit, I can't really stand bananas much when they're not soft enough but when they are, I can't get enough. I also like cherries but I find it annoying when I have to spit the seeds out when I eat them. Probably my least favorite is probably kiwis. They kinda smell funny to me. Maybe I'm not getting the right ones.

One fruit I've always wanted to try is a pomegranate. I've drank pomegranate juice before but I've never eaten the actual fruit. It looks odd to me but it's something I would definitely eat if I was given the chance. I love trying new things.

So what is your favorite fruit and why?
Hmm, my favorite fruit is probably pineapple because...
#1 It is the perfect combination of citrus and sweetness
#2 It is super versatile; great for snacks, beverages, pork bakes, dessert.
#3 It looks awesome. Looks like a thorny grenade. Badass
#4 Has a decent shelf life. Lasts a lot longer than many fruits.

What about your least favorite, why?
My least favorite fruit is persimmon. I have had it in several countries. I do not like it because...
#1 Strange consistency
#2 Weird aftertaste
#3 Tastes kinda rotten; like bad fruit.
#4 Not much you can do with em.

A thread about fruit...I need to frequent this part of the forum more often.

My favorite is a toss up between grapes and pineapple. While in the States I like grapes. I can go through a bag with out thinking twice. They are easy to eat and a great snack food.

When I was in Africa, it was pineapple all the freaking way. Fresh pieces, are great for snacks and for virgin pina coladas. While a little bit harder to prepare they are worth it.

Least favorite...plums. I find them messy, and just not that good. I have never really liked 'em. Next to those I would say cherries, I find them kinda flavorless.

 

[Unsold Bacon]

My favourite would have to be grapes, they are delicious and sweet and can easily beat any of your guys fruits. Plus, they are very small so you a serving a many of them. Plus you can dry them and have raisins!

 

[MrLamper]

Hand me a Gala Apple and a knife and I'll eat the hell out of it, they're sweet and soft and I find them incredibly addictive. Black grapes are absolutely fantastic and I can go through a whole bag of them in 10 minutes no problem!!

My least favourite has got to be Dragon Fruit; those pink spiky looking things. They've got a texture that just makes me feel sick. Grapefruit is also pretty nasty to me, far too bitter with a horrible taste. My girlfriend keeps trying to trick me into thinking they're oranges, but I can always tell.

 

[TheHeartbreakPunk]

Favorite:
1- Definitely strawberries. They are a kind of fruit that i would rather eat than chips.
2-Kiwi. I think kiwi has a cool taste that kind of separates itself from other fruits.

Least favorite:
1-Watermelon. I am the only person I know that does not like watermelon. I just never have. I always thought that the taste was too watery, and did not have enough flavor.
2-Oranges. Another fruit I am the only one I know to not like. I hate the taste of oranges. Even anything artificially orange, even orange fruit snacks. Never liked orange juice either. Shame I like the color.

 

[Slice]

This is like the best thread title ever xD

My favorite is Oranges, but I've never really been a fruit guy. I sometimes buy different sorts of fruit but they go bad because I'm rarely at home and when I am I don't really eat. That being said I do think there aren't many I wouldn't eat, yes even grapefruit without sugar. Then again I like Ghost Pepper so what do I know xD

 

[Dagger Dias]

Then again I like Ghost Pepper so what do I know xD

I've been wanting to try one of those. I love spicy food including hot peppers. Fresh jalapenos are excellent as far as peppers are concerned. Ghost Pepper was once considered the spiciest pepper that there is so I'm sure I'd like it given my love of spicy food. The Trinidad Moruga Scorpion is even spicier I hear, so I want to try that too.

Another fruit type I recently heard about that I really want to try though is dragon fruit. Yes, it really is called that. It's described as tasting similar to a kiwi, which is a fruit with a taste I rank above average.

 

[HBsam31]

I am not to big on fruit. I work with food everyday, and fruit never quite did it for me. I do however love blackberries. It comes from being a kid and going out into the woods to pick and eat them right off the bush.

My least favorite fruit is watermelon. I don't tell too many people why i don't like it because it may get into your head and make you not like it either. I will let you know though for the benefit of this conversation. Working as a chef I find out evertime a piece of food is recalled due to it being a diseased crop or what not. Lots of times fruits and veggies grown in Mexico are recalled because sewage runs into the crops. I know it's gross, but it happens. Since becoming a chef everytime I take a bite of a watermelon and I get that big burst of liquid into your mouth. Well I think you guys can put two and two together now. It just made me stay away from watermelon.

So what is your favorite fruit and why?
I'm a big fan of Caribbean fruits like pineapple, guava, mango and passion fruit. Anything sharp without being sour

What about your least favorite, why?

Utterly despise bananas, I don't consider them a real fruit as you can't even get juice from them. I was in hospital with a potassium deficiency and told that eating them would help, I chose tablets instead.
Don't like cherries, sickly sweet. Black cherries aren't so bad.
Dislike melon, it's pointless, messy and tastes of nothing at all.
