Had a lovely juicy pear there. Not a fan of the green apple.
Ach 'mon Tony, none of my top 3 in there.
Pineapple
Melon (any kind)
Grapes
what about those apples that are green and red - I like them
My top ones though are strawberries (even if I get a sore mouth from them sometimes) and grapes.
Fixed. But you can only pick one. Not a fan of the green grape myself but eat the black/red grapes in my porridge every morning.
Red melons are just water i like the green ones
Movin' to the country I'm gonna eat a lot of peaches ;)

The red fleshed melon that are just water would be the watermelon :) Can be lovely too if there aren't many pips in them.
We get a nice fresh fruit basket in work each morning (though type has gotten a lost less exotic with cutbacks) and we're currently getting those red and green ones, is it Braeburn ones you mean pog?
No Mandarins

Don't know what you call them just that they're red and green.
It's awful hard to get nice fruit though - you should be allowed to sample!
I haven't had a nice orange in years!

Aye I think he does. Prefer a Cox* myself.

I like apples, but they give me the shits. So I can only eat them once in a blue moon. I like green ones best.

Oranges (Valencia & Navel)
Mangoes (Kennsington Prides, Nam Doc Mai & R2E2)
Grapes (Table & Wine)
Tomatoes (Several types)
Apples (Several types)
Plums
Bananas
Lemons
Limes

Rois got extra added cos she a lady. There are loads left off. An "other" selection is non-specific. Get over it and pick your favourite from the list.
Pineapple by a country mile - although Id be fond of a good mango also.
In terms of the generic fruit Id have to go for a banana.

After spenging so much time with fruit I can hardly treat the subject so flippantly.

Mangoes are bastards, they spit a posion at ya when you pick them. By the time the consumer eats them the sap is no longer present, but if you eat too many of them too often you may suffer some of the same affects as the pickers. Mangoes cause rashes, swelling, sickness, shock and even death among pickers, I witnessed all but the last one. O the joys of backpacking ::)
Hope this thread doesnt spoil.

never a truer word said pog, so much fruit looks the part, then tastes like shite, I especially refer to oranges where it particularly hard to tell what it will taste like and there are so many different tastes from them. In saying that, I occasionally chance on a nice bag and then run off and buy a second bag asap.

Nothing like an Orange straight off the tree as you work in the upper 30'c's never tasted a sweeter orange in my life.

Never picked them but saw a video of 2 friends of mine picking them (think it was Walnuts), they laid out a net, then bate the shite out of the tree and hey presto, tree picked. One of them also got a shotgun and part of the job was to run around shooting birds.
Apples, and of them granny smyths are my favourite.
Can eat most fruit except pears and grapefruit. By f**k grapefruit I stinkin.
Kiwi is nice too

Ya grapefruit is rank. Used get angry if I was on the grapefruit, coz I always forgot my lunch and could get by on oranges (fckn ran like a bastard on the bog at night) but if I was on the grapefruit I would rather go hungry all day.
A real good naval orange is hard to whack but often hard to come by.
Fresh strawberries in a bowl af ice cream cant be beat either

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad!
I love fruit, everyday in my lunch box i have an apple (red or green), pear, red grapes, banana, small orange, kiwi fruit and a yogurt to round it all off. I know it's not fruit but 3l of water every day too and you'll never have any trouble with bowel movements ;)
Anybody eat a Kiwi like an apple, skin and all? Or is it a poofin match with spoons and scooping out the middle?
i tried the kiwi skin there recently, doesn't feel right to me.
any of yous ever try the pineberry?

You will surely! You won't be fit to lift your arse of the bowl all day! :D
Love a nice Gala Apple myself, banana on toast is also a favourite in the mornings.
This is a distasteful thread and lends itself to dark thoughts.
Northern Australia is awesome...walk down the streets of Broome and pick mangoes off the trees. Never get fed up with mangoes. Bananas are my favourite, though.
Other favourites are an east Asian fruit with a white flesh (can't remember the name) and persimmons.
I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to eat fruit.

For about 3 weeks of the year in June/July the plums sold in Ireland are absolutely lovely........... red throughout. Go through punnets of them during that time.
On a dried fruit kick at the moment. Mangoes, pineapple and pink grapefruit - perfect for a snack during the day with some walnuts or almonds.

Might be. Thanks.
Also, I forgot to mention that there is a wee independent brewery in Broome called Matso's, (inconveniently located around the corner from my digs back then) which brews Mango beer. Fcukin lush. Serious gear, and it is now available in Perth I've heard. Oh Christ.....
