I love fruit. My absolute favorite is mango, but I also love bananas, pineapples, oranges, grapes, strawberries, cherries... I'm not sure what I'd call the sweetest, it really depends on the ripeness. I have a knack for picking out a pineapple that's so sweet it could be candy. I think the sourest fruit that actually intends to be sour when it's consumed is granny smith apples. Most other fruits if they're sour then they're not ripe. One of my favorite things to do with fruit is to get a couple pints of strawberries and an angel food cake. tear up the angel food cake into a large bowl, then slice the strawberries and put them on top and sprinkle on a tablespoon of sugar. then cover and let set in the fridge for a couple of hours. the strawberry juice soaks into the cake and makes it all so yummy. Stir it before serving, though. some of the cake stays dry, some is moist with strawberry juice and some goes to an almost pudding-like consistency. The mixture of textures is just so nice along with the flavor. Also, I love to make a fruit dip using equal amounts of marshmallow fluff and sour cream. It sounds odd, but they balance each other out perfectly.

I love bananas I guess they are my favourite but I am not allowed to eat too many because of the medication I am on so I guess I would say thefavourite I am allowed to have is watermelon, it is so refreshing in summer, and yet i know so many people who don't like it, it is the one food i just can't understand what there is about it that is to dislike, it is beautiful...

Durians - The spiky fruit that some people find offending.
I just love fruits. I get to eat lots of them, everyday in fact, together with my meals. Here we get fruits from all over the world, and in endless varieties too. I have many favorites, but my top ten are mangoes, rambutans, mandarins, pears, lychees, longans, durians, rock melons, grapes and pineapples. Of these, my all-time favorite is the durian, the green thorny fruit that has a very strong flavor and is obnoxious to some. Many people have a craving for it, but it is not a cheap fruit. If you take to it, the yellow flesh is really very delicious and sweet. I normally eat my fruits the way they are, cut or whole, rather than mixed into salads, jelly, cocktails or ground into fruit juices.

I love all fruits. My favorite way to have a fruit is in fruit salad with no dressing. I like it all natural. I would have to say that my favorite fruit is watermelon. It is mostly water, with the most refreshing taste.

Pineapple is my favorite fruit and watermelon is my second favorite. I don't like grapes very much because it is inconvenient to eat it, as I am a lazy-bone:)

I also like those fruits listed above, as they are easy to get in our daily life and the price is not so high like some rare fruits in the fruit market. I eat my fruit in the usual way without adding anything into it. I love to eat it in the natarual way though--peel it and eat it. lol

I love all fruits, but I'm so sensitive to sugar that I can easily gain weight on them if I eat too much. I eat bananas and raisins in a limited fashion. I also like cantaloupe, pears, apples, strawberries, raspberries and oranges. I don't really like papaya and I've found mangoes, kiwi, and pomegranates messy. We have so many different fruits to chose from where I live, I really can't say that anything is really rare. I love to add raisins, strawberries, or bananas to my oatmeal, but mostly I eat all the fruits straight.
