technically, pineapple is a vegetable.

>>6543467
Gives me mini blisters on my tongue unless canned, canned pineapple is best pineapple

>>6543491
Stop being a puss and eat through the pain

>>6543485
Let me stay in my shell of ignorance and believe that it's still a fruit

>>6543491
That's 'cause pineapple is eating you at the same time you're eating it.

>>6543534
he's fucking with you.i think it's a really boring meme.

>>6543467
Asian pear

>>6543491
I get those blisters too, I also get them in my throat and on the roof of my mouth. I still don't use canned pineapple.

I don't know if it's the enzyme or a mild allergy.

>>6543552

You just have a stronger reaction to the enzyme, which is common. It's not really an allergy.

tomatoes.

but seriously, pineapple is good, especially on the grill.

Mangoes

>>6543467
This, eat the skin also...

Pomegranate and persimmon.

Bing cherries

So fucking pricy tho

Honeydew

Grapes all the way 🍇

Fuji apples and seedless grapes, but pineapple isn't something i will turn my nose up at, good stuff.

>>6543887
>Grapes all the way 🍇

The fuck is this?

Blackberries

My only gripe with them is the huge ass seeds

>>6543902

They're called emojis, grandpa 👴

>>6543924
Emoji, on MY 4chan?

It's more likely than you think.

>>6543550
Why did they rebrand it, when I first started seeing it it was called Nashi. It doesn't taste like a pear.

>>6543467

red/purple grapes

real good

>>6543467
OP is moron for not knowing pineapple is a vegetable.

Also huge moron for not knowing tomato is the best fruit. Think of how tomato is eaten everywhere, every day. On burgers, pizza, pasta in salads... on and in all the foods you love from hotpockets to cream of tomato soup.

>>6543467
Because it goes great with pizza.

>>6544205
>tomato is the best fruit.
Tomato makes me feel bad, man.

>>6544205
In my country tomatoes know their place in scocity as vegetables and to keep quiet when their betters are speaking

>>6543467
Just recently had cherimoya and it was absolutely delicious.

>>6543467
Plums are the best fruit. The dark ones especially

>>6543467
because you can add lime juice and copious amounts of rum to it and achieve nirvana

>>6543883
Try loving Rainier cherries. Both are good though I've preferred rainier in recent years.

Sour cherries are still my absolute favorite (have a few montmorency trees).

Pineapples were on sale at the grocery for 1$ each. I now have eight pineapples. Wut do?

Because the pineapple is bursting with both flavor and water, it's simply the most satisfying tropical fruit.

Runner ups are:
Strawberries
Oranges

>6544622
>mfw in Japan people will pay up to ONE DOLLAR PER CHERRY for Rainiers

>>6544725
eat them

>>6544725
See >>6544612

Or grill them with or without shredded cocoanut. Or with just a blend of cinnamon sugar if that's more your thing.

Pineapple salsa or cut it up and use it as a marinade for chicken or even some flank steaks. I would combine it with lemon or lime juice though because I find it a little too sweet to be the stand alone citrus flavor for meat dishes.

>>6544622
I do enjoy me some rainiers one store I go go to already has them in and since I've alredy gone through 2 bags of bings that's as good as reason as any to get some. I never see any sours down here in Texas but maybe I'm not looking hard enough?

Master Race coming through

>>6544945
That's a funny-looking avocado. Avocados are the best fruit. They have fat, protein, and carbs, are good in sweet and savory applications, grow year round and don't ripen until picked from the tree.

>>6544945
>Tommy Atkins mango
leave

>>6544412
You must live in an exceedingly backward country.

Peaches mofo

>>6545109
No I live in America and here tomatoes know their place

>>6543467
Went to Belize recently, bought the best pineapple I've ever had for $2.50US.

Pic related.

I like pineapple but it really hurts my tongue. Like a LOT. This never used to happen.

Does this mean I have cancer?

>>6545857
Those protein breaking down enzymes in pineapple going to work on tenderizing your lengua

>>6545860

I would have thought it was because of the acidity. Other acidic foods also hurt my tongue, just not as much as pineapple though. This sucks because I really like pineapple.

>>6543467
When are you coming to visit us anon? (prolly come by plane, its harder to get in via boat these days)

>>6544960
Avocados fall from the tree when theyre ripe, i had a huge avocado tree grew bogger fruits than grocery stores.

Apple and starfruit. Just oh so delectible

I ended up canning four of the pineapples and I got six pints of fruit in light syrup. I also canned some mangos since I had the boiling bath canner going. I used the same syrup for both. Now I have a half gallon of tasty syrup left over.

>>6547129

Soursop.

>>6547129
Nice. Any plans for the syrup?

>>6543467
poor OP
so confused

>>6544945
>>6547238
god fucking yeah
mangos are like honey but a fruit
mangos are what the ancient romans described as ambrosia

Just try and find a flaw.

Protip: you can't.

>Ctrl + F 'Nectarine'
>No Results
God damn this board has gone downhill

Strawberries.

And you can eat a hundred of them without guilt 'cause they're so low sugar.

>>6547215
Not sure yet. I could boil it down to a heavy syrup and use it for cocktails. Or I may use it to can other fruit. I might use it to make pineapple jam.

>>6543874
My nigga

>>6543741
Agreed, I love me so melon

>>6547284
This is the objectively correct answer.

>>6547307
Make gomme syrup out of it and mix up some pisco punches.

Hash Browns

I like mangos

>>6544742
how can you go from a fruit bursting with water and flavor to a relatively drier and less tasteful fruit?

pineapple is in my top 5

with apricots, raspberries, cherries, and tangelos

Allah tier:
pineapple, coconut, mangoes, gala apples, pomegranates, watermelon, dark plums, dark cherries, tomatoes, green grapes

High tier:
Clementine's, oranges, honey dew, cantaloupe, red delic apples, red grapes, banana

Mid tier: guava, pears, strawberries,

Meh tier: guava, pears, all apples except green, raspberry, blackberry

StepUp Nigga Tier:
green apples, apricots, blueberries, nectarines

Hipster tier:
persimmons, dragon fruit, avocado

Apples are the most versatile.
Strawberries are just delicious.
Ripe mango is wonderful.
Cherries are great, but usually only when included in something. Alone they can be mushy or cloying or too sour.

Blueberries, raw or cooked I love em

i like peaches

A decent papaya will cure what ails ya.

Nectarines and peaches in my mouth.
All others can go home now

>>6543550
apple?? pear??!?

no, it's just azn

>>6543741
vibrator technician, reporting for melon duty SIR

I cannot pick a favorite; fruit in general is god-tier.

I eat apples the most, partially because they are cheap.

>>6543467
OP you are correct. As a kid I was never a fan of pineapple but then one day I tried a slice off of a pre-cut pineapple an jesus fucking christ. So joocy, so flavorful. The texture of the fruit as it splits apart in your mouth, coating your pallet with it's sweet sweet juice. My god, I'm going to the store right now to buy one. Strawberries are up there with it but will never take the gold. Apples, lmfao. If you like apples shoot yourself in the fucking face. If you work in any type of apple industry I fucking hate you and hope your family dies.

>>6543467
In soviet russia, fruit eats you

>>6544945

>>6544945

muh nigguh

>>6548036
But what if you are the fruit?

>>6548208
Then you fined someone to eat you.

I don't know about 'best fruit' and all that bullshit, but I know what gets my dick diamonds and that's minneolas.

I ate oranges and I found something lacking.
I ate mandarins and I found something lacking.
I ate fucking clementines and I found something lacking.
And
then
I
ate
MINNE-jesus christ these things are easy to peel and heaven in the mouth-OLAS.

They are the best of all the orangey peeley citrus fruits. Peeling them is fun (I cut a little cross in the top with my pocket knife and without piercing flesh or having to dig in my nails I get a complete package of joy), they're the perfect balance between sweet and sour, they're the perfect size (bigger than mandarins and smaller than oranges) and they just smell so nice.

I need to try a lot more fruit before calling one 'the best', but this is certainly my favorite for now.

>>6548620
Don't think I've seen them in the stores but I'll search them out. Iove citrus fruits and have a need to try all of them.

I have 3 favourite fruits and I have 3 categories for them.

Cold climate: Raspberries
Moderate climate: Peaches
Tropical: Papaya

>>6549182

u wot m8

It's just like overly sweet mush with no acidity to balance it out. You were doing so well.

>>6549189
I've had Mexican Papaya and then some from Asia. The Asian papaya had a floral aroma and was slightly tart. It was amazing.

>>6549189
Have you ever traveled to the tropics my friend? The papayas we get here up north are all shit, they're picked much too early and are disgusting with a shitty mushy texture that you mention.

When I went to Cuba I was opened up to a whole new world of tropical fruits but the papayas there were absolutely fantastic. Now every other tropical country I visit I always make sure to get my fill of papayas.

I like vegetables

>>6543467
because this

>>6549197
I technically live in a tropical zone and my neighbor has a papaya tree.

He gives me some and they are incredibly sweet and brighter than anything they sell in a supermarket, they are almost red. But they are still an incredibly disappointing fruit to me.

Maybe it depends on the variety like the other guy said, but the ones I had are completely one dimensional.

>>6549152

I don't know how much difference exists between breeds as I've only ever had minneolas, but it's a type of tangelo. So try looking for that as well.
