Gulping a banana down in one swallow makes my eyes water..

MMMM I love all the fruit mentioned so far!

But Mangostenes, Dragon fruit, Dragons eyes and Lychees are good too!

Cherries are fantastic eaten fresh and warm from the tree and really ripe greengages and yellow plums are a little taste of heaven.

I'd just live off fruit if I could!

A really good crisp, sweet, watermelon. Good peaches when I can find them. Pomegranates even though they're a lot of work for not much pulp.

Really, though, I'm not very picky--tangerines, oranges, grapefruit, pretty much all berries, apples (except I never did learn to like Granny Smiths, except in pie), pears, honeydew; you name it, I'd probably eat it.

Pineapple. Yum. And strawberries, really good ones. I live in Alaska, so fruit's pretty lame up here...but in Hawaii that's good dtuff! : )

In the 1950s, in Melbourne, the night train from Adeliaide used to come in early every morning. When it passed through Mildura in the far North-West of Victoria it took on crates of oranges. In those days they weren't picked until they were really ripe and then only as needed. The main train station in Melbourne began selling freshly squeezed orange juice as soon as the oranges were unloaded. You could get this juice just a day after the oranges were picked. And each day a new lot arrived. Cheers, Joy

Peaches, mangoes, passionfruit from my passionfruit vine (much nicer than those shrivelled up things in the shops), tomatoes from the garden, especially a "sweet-bite" cherry tomato picked off the bush and popped straight in the mouth - talk about a taste explosion! Lots of other fruit I really like, such as grapes and melons, but the top ones are my favourites.

Never had a plumcot, Sandra - never even heard of them before you mentioned them. Maybe I should try one - and you haven't lived till you've had a mango and passionfruit mousse made by John. Mmmmmm!

My favorite fruit is my wife's hairdresser.

Apricots in season, and dried apricots when not in season - dried apricots are yummo when dipped in dark chocolate, especially if there is a judicious amount of a good brandy involved.
When Himself and I were travelling in South Australia about 8 years ago we had plumcots, and also another hybrid that I forget but I think it was the bastard child of a nectarine and something else. It was very nice anyway.
Oh I remember now - it was a peacherine, the result of a union between a peach and a nectarine. Had smooth skin and a peachy taste.

Cheers

I was sitting here slowly savouring a plum & reading JennieG's post when a large cockroach walked from behind the computer, so I grabbed my plum, blew the cocky off the desk with a great "yuuuuck" & jumped up & grabbed the spray & chased it around with spray & swatter till I killed it.

Now I can get back to the plum & Mudcat. As far as I'm concerned yummy dried apricots don't need extra flavour, but fresh dates do need King Island Cream or any other rich double cream, that really sets off their flavour
