    Pretty much all fruit has its own good qualities.

    Bananas! They only have about a day when they're not too woody and not too sweet, and then they get claggy and yuck. Also high calorie for a fruit.

    A lot of fruit seems to be variable. It's one thing that irritates me about it. Watery, tasteless apples, hard pears, dry, chewy citrus, non-ripening peaches, mouldy strawberries ... Vegetables are usually much more ... predictable.

    can't stand wax covered red delicious apples. wouldn't eat them when i was a kid or now.
    too much wax and the skin tastes bitter.

    i prefer frozen blue berries to raw ones.

    In regard to the blueberries, I didn't like them either until I bought the organic type. The organic blueberries are much richer and sweeter in flavor than the normal variety and are worth the extra money believe it or not. Otherwise I agree, especially about the apples. Bleck!

    Most overrated: strawberries. The seeds bug me!
    Most underrated: mangosteen. In Thailand we pigged out on it (as much as you can with a fruit which has to be eaten delicately with a spoon ;) ) and they are DELICIOUS! Probably terrible for you sugar-wise, as they're super tropical. But who wouldn't love a bright purple shell with an albino pumpkin looking thing inside?

    We used to have wild black berries growning on the hill behind our house. We would go and get them by the bucket full. SO GOOOOD.

    I agree. We had them too and they are so much better then anything I've ever bought at a grocery.

    I'm actually eating blueberries right now! :)

    Think the only fruit I dislike is grapefruit. Other than that, I love my fruit

    I love strawberries and just about any kind of berry. And cherries....I've been craving those like mad lately! We have a strawberry patch in our backyard, and a cherry bush and raspberry bushes, plus three mulberry trees. So it's all fresh during the summer.

    But cantaloupe, musk melon, watermelon....melons just don't excite me. It takes an effort for me to eat an apple, too.

    I don't like frozen fruit, either. Okay, let me rephrase that...I HATE frozen fruit. Unless it's thawed out, I can't stand it. It hurts my teeth, and it tastes like nothing.

    If you don't eat fruit do you eat all veggies? If not where do you get your vit and minerals?

    No. No. No. Raspberries are delightful, and I will not stand here whilst you disparage them.

    :flowerforyou:

    I eat them with the skin on. I like them better that way.

    My absolute favourite fruit is grapes - after they've been turned into wine :laugh:
