Whats your favourite fruit and why?

[dkmech]

You can include berries into this.

Mine used to be nectarines, because they they dont have the hairy skin of a peach and have more flavour to them, but recently I've been quite fond of apricots, for the taste and the fact that you can easily tear them apart, remove the stone and eat them with tiny bites - something you can't do with peaches, nectarines and most plums.

So whats yours? Post a pic too, bonus points if its an unusual pic.

Bananas, just cos women can't eat them in public without blushing when they see a bloke looking at them ...

^ LMAO

I didnt really notice but i understand............

Figs. The packets of dried then partially re-hidrated ones are great.

Not a big fan of fruit, prefer veg myself

[GDVS]

Black cherries, simply because they're flippin' gorgeous!

[tiggerai]

Pineapple.

Although I prefer vegetables - raw

[unreal]

Mangos, or even better, Durian

DUUUURRIANNN A really rare fruit that tastes just so nice

[Tobeman]

Self-confessed anti fruit eater. Never have liked it much, vegetables for the win! But if I had to pick a favourite fruit, I am partial to a bit of melon every now and again..

Red Apples! i like 'em because they are just yummy
I do like Kiwi fruit too though, and strawberries

Sharon Fruit!

If you don't know what one is, get down to Tescos, where you can buy them loose! They are very very nice indeed. Look like a tomato, but taste sweet and different, more like a peach in texture.

Pineapple is indeed nice, although gets a bit sickly after a while, best eaten in moderation

Oranges are good, but there are mixed results, nothing like a fresh sweet orange with no pips!

Strawberries. Again, mixed results, but when you get some nice ones, mmmm....

Peaches/nectarines are also good, but can be a bit messy, I always have to be really pedantic and slice them up first

Grapes are addictive once you start eating them

Green apples are highly underrated, a good thirst quencher

Bananas are a great snack, it is believed you can live solely on bananas!*

Good figs are rare but when I went to Spain last year we had a tree in the garden, managed to grab a fridge full before the cleaners came

However, I cannot stand the following fruits:
melon, mango, raspberries, cherries

* don't try this and blame me

[unreal]

Durian is probably the smelliest fruit too, since its to ward off predators of its utterly delicious taste, along with the obvious thick skin and really sharp exterior

[autopilot]

Banana's for so many reasons. Mango is great too. You look like you could kill yourself eating one of those Durian's.

[unreal]

You look like you could kill yourself eating one of those Durian's.

lol You can, underneath the massively tall Durian trees, you usually need to wear hard hats, and I had one fall on my arm and it needed to be wrapped STAT (not from a tree, but just from a box next to me)

[menthel]

Durian fruit really smell! Go to your local chinese/oriental supermarket and see if they have any. If you live in north london, pop along to Oriental City in Colindale and there is a stall that sells durian fruit when it is in season.

My favorite is either the alphonso mango or the cox's apple.

Banana's and tangerines - No need to peel - And yes, I am a lazy git
