OK!!! I know I'm wrong...you can tell me wherever you want but even if I eat fruits I can't say I'm crazy about.I mean if wasn't my husband that loves fruits maybe I'll not have at home at all.I eat all the kind of fruits,when I find then in front of me but if not I never care to try find one to eat.
It's funny because when someone will watch me eating fruits will think that I love them very much,I can finish whatever I have in front of me to eat but that's it.I never will thought *I want eat fruits*.
Strange right?

oh let's hope then that your husband will keep on eating as much fruit as possible so you will eat it too!!!! I know many people like you who don't care about some kinds of food unless they are there ready to eat..yes it is funny but it is a sort of fortune that you can eat everything you have in your plate so you will be sure to have your daily ratio of fruit,too. I have no particular virtue in seeking fruit...I know it is healthy but for me it is easy or easier than for others because I am so keen on fruit that I do something good for my health and pleasure at the same time!!!

you are so lucky indeed that you have a husband who loves fruits. and luckier you are all the more that you can eat almost any fruit at all that gets served on the table. good for you because fruits are good for our body.

This is the time of year for those of us in Illinois to enjoy home grown tomatoes. Nothing beats the taste of a home grown tomato. Most of the year we have to get store bought tomatoes and they are never the same. I love to make salads and pasta sauces with fresh, beautiful tomatoes. The other summer luxury we have this time of year are the very large long stem strawberries. I like to inject them with Amaretto Disarrono and dip them in godiva chocolate.

I love fresh fruit! My favourites are apples; Cox's Orange Pippin, Russets or Braeburn, Blackberries, Blackcurrants, Raspberries and when it is very hot Watermelon. In fact the only fruits that I don't like are Avocardoes and Olives, which are move to slimy.

I love fresh fruit and veggies and am looking forward to going to the farmer's market, getting things from my own garden, or even stopping at roadside stands and getting whatever is in season.

Maribea,
My grandpa too had a lot full of tomtaoes and other veggies that had their own unique flavors. I miss them and him so much. :(

I also love seasonal fresh fruit. I am luckythat I have a large garden and I get to await it eagerly. My strawberries are nearly ready. Soon we will have cherries, plums, apples, pears and figs. I also have grapes and last year was the first year I got a decent crop. We also get passion fruit, but they are never very nice. i don't think the soil is rich enough for them or maybe it isn't sunny enough.

as I wrote before, it is amazing reading that so many of you have their own little or big garden where to seed flowers or vegetables and even fruit..very interesting..here in Italy it is difficult having one above all when living in such a big city like Rome..I also like grapes but they will be good only later..let's say at the end of August or September..and as far as passion fruit is concerned, well I think it is because it needs all the sun and the dampness of the tropical weather!!!

I have small organic strawberry field on my back yard.
This is easy to grow and hardy in my climate.
Other than this, I love fresh fruits and very often I travel far to find organic farms, where I can find fresh fruits for less. You pay small fee, you can eat as much as you want and pay fee per basket. Because you do the work, price is wholesale, so I buy a lot and than dehydrate it for winter.
This morning I ate one mango and two apricots. I think that apricots are the healthiest fruit from all. I eat them all year long, fresh and dried.
I can move to Hawaii, they have a lot of wild fruits year long and local people just go to jungle to pick up some fruits when they need it….Nothing taste as good as fresh fruit…
I miss wild fruits from Europe….oh, summertime….my favorite season from all…

We are meant to eat such good things and it is fortunate that we can do so during the summer months. We can in the winter however it is from other countries with not as strict methods of spraying and poisons are meant also to be avoided. You might notice that you feel better eating these foods that are 'from the garden'. I think we do!

of course world is such a great market that we can eat namely all kind of fruit throughout the whole year but I confess I prefer eating mainly seasonal fresh fruit that fruit we can have from other countries..just because I like to eat different things according to the season!!!

Of course! I always prefer to each nice fresh English strawberries during the strawberry season over here as they're much better than buying the imported ons when ours are out of season. There are lots of other seasonal fruits too, mostly berries and such like. Much better to eat nice fresh homegrown fruits when they are in season.

I live in Italy and therefore we don't produce mango and papaya here..and it is too early for watermellon and grapes...but I like all these you mentioned and I like tasting local fruit when travelling abroad..so last summer I ate tons of mangoes and papaya when being in Capoverde Islands...
