    Blueberries first, but honeydew melons and cantaloupes would be next.

    Nothing beats pomegranate for me. Yummy and so much fun to eat. Also, mango should have been there. Its exotic. And lastly, Guavas are yummy, and so are lychees!!!!!! So many to chose from!

    No love for the Nectarine?

    I think the best fruit I've had is one of those Plum/Apricot hybrids. It's like eating a big green grape. I was at HEB this summer and they were putting them out and the two workers setting it up were telling people to try them and just handing them to people. Everybody around me who tried one ended up buying some.

    I think it's called a plumcot.

    I'm interested in seeing if any of our Chinese friends on here will name Durian as their favorite fruit.

    :D

    Pineapple is the KING of fruit.

    Raspberries are second place.

    Oranges are Third.

    That's a fruit that you either Love it or Hate it. I my friend hate that thing. It stinks to high heavens. I can't even get near it to even try it. And when I did try it, I nearly gagged. Of course my dad loves that stuff so I have to bear with it. Everytime he brings it home I swear there is a natural gas leak somewhere.

    My wife's step mom, who is from Hong Kong, introduced me to it.

    I have to say that how it smells and how it tastes are on two totally different ends of the spectrum.

    Actually, I didn't think the smell was THAT bad. Smelled like rotten produce to me. Thought it tasted good though.

    Since we're on the subject of fruits here's a joke my gf told me that made me laugh.

    3 men are flying a plane over the saharah desert when suddenly the engine catches fire and are forced to make a crash landing, with a massive thump they crash into the hot desert sands and quickly escape from the wreckage which explodes behind them.
    All thier supplies are gone and in hope they start to travel south in the search for a town.
    2 days pass and all three collapse and pass out and are left in the sands unconcious, it was extremly lucky that a man on a camel passes them and picks them up and takes them back to a massive palace.
    When the men come to thier senses they are all in seperate massive beds, they sit up and see a man dressed in fine robes and jewwelry who says "Welcome to my kingdom friends, you may stay here to eat, drink and sleep i only ask one thing from you, do not enter my section of the pallace as it is forbiddon to anybody but me", the men say thankyou and agree to the kings only rule.
    A week pass and all the men are in good health, but they have been wondering whats in the forrbidon section, the questons get the better of the three men and they push open the large door of the forbiddon section, they are startled by large indoor waterfalls, giant fruit trees and quality furniture and entertainment, but at this particular time the guards were on duty, caught them and brought them to the king.
    The King was furious and he shouted "I SHOULD KILL YOU FOR THIS INSULT, however since i am feeling generous you have to pass a test to live", the men agreed to the test, the test was to go into the desert and find one fruit.
    Each man set off in diffrent directions all had to find a diffrent fruit, again 2 days passed and the king gets a knock on the door only 1 man is outside, a guard brings in the man with a grape, the king says "Ok, ha stick it up your backside" the man is confused by the demand but does it anyway, and he gets to live, seconds later he hears another knock, and its the other 2 men, the guard brings in the second man with a strawberry who has to do the same, again confused he does it but then bursts out into laughter.
    The king shouts "Whats so funny! this is a punisment" and the man says "haha i know but my friend brought a pineapple!"

    Tangelos have a nice kick, but I love grapes.
