Favorite Fruit

[Fat Guy]

Cherries.

[Priscilla]

Oh it's like that, then? I'd have to say, canteloupe.

[nightscotsman]

Strictly speaking, my favorite fresh fruit would have to be nectarines.

If we are being looser with our definition of "fruit", then I would have to say Oregon strawberries.

And if we are talking about favorite (very loosely defined) fruit used in cooked dishes, I'd go with rhubarb.

Apple. Grapefruit. Satsuma Mandarin.

Historical sidenotes:

The Apple was instrumental in having humans banished from paradise.

The Grapefruit co-starred with Jimmy Cagney in a classic scene.

Satsumas just taste good.

[Lord Michael Lewis]

Orange; it's a fruit and it's a colour.

The Apple was instrumental in having humans banished from paradise.

I've read that it's actually more likely the forbidden fruit was a pomegranate. Though apples are a sentimental favorite. Currently I'm lusting after this Apple:

I suppose I may have been influenced by all the Apple posts lately.

You know, I just now noticed that your sig looks like two strange beings holding hands. Sort of a squatty pac-man like being on the left, and a sort of pin-headed being on the right. Holding hands, forming a sweet chain.

Saffron must be your favorite spice, then.

[Varmint]

Peach.

Isn't this an indirect way to do a poll?

[beachcove]

Mmm...Pie-neapple.

Is Burgundy your favourite wine?

[Gavin Jones]

I've heard decent arguments that the Orange was the forbidden fruit.

How about one of those fruits that behaves like a vegetable.

[Degustation]

Mangos and mangosteens.

[GordonCooks]

An ice cold, crunchy Red Delicious apple

[Huevos del Toro]

Fresh - Chilled Oranges

Cooked - Rhubarb

[Varmint]

It just dawned on me that grapes should be many people's favorite fruit, as I'd certainly hate to go without wine.

[cabrales]

Cherries. Peeled, bulbous green grapes.

[VivreManger]

Ripe cranshaw melon.

[tissue]

Mangos and mangosteens.

I like mangos too!

[CathyL]

Fraises des bois.

[Liza]

I'm with Priscilla - canteloupe.

Though I was nearly knocked off my conkers by a lovely pear last night.

[Adam Balic]

Quinces are the golden apples of mythology.

Perfectly ripe white peaches.

[Jinmyo]

No fruit. Steak.

[hollywood]

Wild strawberries. Papaya. Carambola.

[Dave the Cook]

Red plums.

Those tangerines you can get in the Tokyo train stations that are always perfectly almost frozen.

Cherimoya.
