pineapple
literally a "forbidden fruit" for me as my girlfriend is horribly allergic
(i eat it on days when we aren't going to hang out together)
i worry for the days when we start living together
i will be eating canned pineapple under a bridge somewhere like the other addicts and hiding it from her

Nectarines, then throw the seed at some poor innocent British birds.

That seems very suspicious and should be looked at.

I like all fruits except certain tropical ones but my favourites are pears

>>20572948
I was going to write pears also but you beat me to it, that said I'll write habaneros and scotch bonnets.

>>20572917
They just don't store and ship well, sort of like avocados.
Also they grow wild in shady areas. If you tried to grow them commercially (in full sun) they get sunburned

>>20572948
The tough part is finding good pears most are hard things that even a stray cat would avoid.

>>20572760
It's too bad that not many folk consider the humble pomegranate.

>>20572760
Peach for sure. And yes pineapple second. The vitality and flavor pineapple gives you when it's nice and cold is like nothing else. Gives you a jolt like an energy drink.

>>20572760
It's hard to beat a good jackfruit. I can manage to eat a 7kg fruit on my own in 2 or 3 days.
>>20572968
Best pears I've had was always some old abandoned trees, often with brush and brambles growing around that you have to fight your way through to get to the goodies, then climb up to get them without bruises.

>>20572773
Pineapples are great. They probably make my favorite juice too

>>20572760
Recently I’m more into berries (good flavor and not too much sugar), especially blueberries and strawberries. Growing Sweet Sunrise this year and the first few look gorgeous.

Mango is the king of fruits

whabout cherries?

Pic is the fruitiest fruit.

>>20572760
Bow down.
Top 5:
1. Watermelon
2. Cantaloupe
3. Cherry
4. Pineapple
5. Avocado

All berries. Followed by the humble apple.

Avocados? Then I would counter with tomato.

>>20572992
annoying to clean tho

>>20572760
the pear

although these things look kind of monstrous they are the best 100%

>>20575829
They are not bad, but biriba are much better.

>>20575999
i think you're right actually. reminds me of the rule of citrus where it's almost like the smaller species have a more concentrated flavor, maybe something similar happening here

>>20572760
I rate apples, blueberries, raspberries, grapefruit, and yeah everything in the Prunus genus

>>20575680
The trick to that is to use a sink and collander, cut the pomegranite under water that way the seeds dont spurt all over especially on a shirt, also have cup around to hold the seeds.

>>20572760
Bananas, I eat half a dozen bananas everyday.

Blueberries are the best fruit

Mango has to be the most overrated for sure.

>>20572773
Your bitch is not allergic it just makes her mouth itchy. She needs a slap.

>>20575461
That freak got busted jacking his pee-wee in some movie theatre watching a porno movie.

>>20572760
>freestone peach
:)
>cling peach
:(

I recently had wild blueberries and they're so much tastier than the normal kind. Mangoes are probably my favorite though.

>>20572962
In my country they just erect giant sun shades over plantations

>>20575480
watermelon is like opening a secret chest of sweet liquid :3

>>20572968
I hear that a lot so I must be super lucky it attuned to the vibrations of the Pear Force as I always manage to get good pears, which is why I picked'em as my favourite in >>20572948
>>20572908
I met a guy at my meeting (Quaker) who was a visiting horticulturist in town because Ivy League silliness who studied pawpaws. They taste like what Juicy Fruit gum would taste like it was natural instead of artificial. Super good and I wasn't expecting that texture.
>>20572992
I eat so many every autumn asking with pears. Right now it's stone fruit season and we've eaten about 7lbs of cherries so far since the end of May. Peaches have all been infested with fruit flies so we haven't gotten any yet this year and the missus and I haven't seen any decent plums yet this season which sucks because they're my #2. It's just been cherries and watermelon.
>>20575022
>favorite juice
Still pear. I'm not from the US. Why the shit is pear juice practically non-existent here? I've switched to apple.
>>20578560
lol
I mentioned this story before, but my ex and I used to go to Koreatown to eat and get kiwifruit smoothies on the way home and the dummy said
>I love kiwi smoothies but I hate that itchy, scratchy, throat-close-y feeling I get from them, know what I mean?
No. I don't know what you mean. You're allergic to kiwifruit. I'm not allergic to kiwifruit.
So shawty got tested and found a slew of allergies including strawberry, pineapple, papaya and kiwifruit.

>>20572908
I'm in hawaii and they grow all over the island. Makes banger smoothies

Is this a peachposting thread?

Anyways one of my favorites is rainier cherries when they're in season. Cut them in half and have them in yogurt, a cup of coffee and a sandwich with smoked makelerel when you're sitting in the garden. Great breakfast

>>20579182
Isn't Hawaii way too fucking hot for pawpaw? Are you getting it confused for >>20575829, maybe?

>>20578069
>the trick is to do all this annoying shit

>40 posts already
>nobody has mentioned lychees yet

Step your fruit game up, /ck/. These are the best, by far. It's hard to describe the taste to someone who hasn't had them before. It's like a floral berry, I guess you could say.

Go to your local Asian grocery store and buy a bag immediately. They also sell them at Costco, at least at the ones near my house.

>Go to your local Asian grocery store and buy a bag immediately
Don't do this. Wypipo don't know how to pick good ones and I haven't seen any good ones yet this season.
>They also sell them at Costco, at least at the ones near my house.
Fucking Safeway sells them these days. Also rambutan. Neither of them look good, either. I did see some good longan recently, though. Didn't but any cuz I only saw them omw out of the store.

>>20579544
I had some in Hawaii when I was there and I wasnt terribly impressed

>>20572760
i hate playing peach roulette where you have a chance of buying delicious fruit or a rock in the shape of a delicious fruit.

Raspberries. The more sour, the better. Goodbye.

Actual best fruit coming through.

>>20581735
These are a rarely known fruit. Used to eat these in Spain beneath an intense summer sky, they taste like sour honey. So good. El Nispero.

>>20581848
>These are a rarely known fruit
i ate these every summer my whole life, usually at the very start of the summer while at mid and end of summer i enjoy figs, grapes and melon.
i hate strawberries fucking disgusting fruit

pineapple = based

banana = worst fruit of all time

>>20581735
Is that a loquat?

>>20572908
This, but actually pic related since it's available at asian supermarkets. Anona best genus.

>>20572908
these are delicious. There are groves in a park nearby that i go and pick from. They're fun to pick too.. give the tree a shake and then cover your head. Each fruit has a unique sort of taste.

>>20582396
i've never tried these but i hear
mark twain called them "the most delicious fruit known to men."

>>20579177
>Quaker
based quakers

wild strawberries
100% pure flavor, water bloated mass farmed ones would never compare

>>20582383
No that's a loquat and two halves of either two different loquats or a loquat split in half.
Please take things more seriously.

>>20583718
I was referring to only one of the objects, thank you. The sliced loquat(s) is/are dead to me.

>>20575811
this. Peaches/Pears are the best. Fuck apples.

>>20584258
Sorry, I misundestood your intent. Despite that, I see no reason for you to hold such negative attitude against a loquat, sliced or otherwise. Please try not to take things too seriously.

For me, it's dates

>>20572760
for me it's this specific variety
soon to be the season

>The unsung hero of trifles and possets Bongland-wide

>no mention of orange
>no mention of honeydew
And strawberries are overrated

>>20572760
The best fruit is the tomato

>>20582679
Mark Twain liked cherimoya?
Weird.
>>20581848
>rarely known
lolwut
Nespole all day. Pretty common fucking fruit for where I'm from.
Here in America, I didn't know how to pick for ones. All the ones I've gotten from the supermarket have been poopshits
