Well, do tell.

So many to choose from, only 10 options.

Pamplemousse. Naturally sweeter than grapefruit, and probably not one of the poll choices :p

Starfruit. They apparently aren't too common and I haven't had one in a while, but they're my favorite. Limes are pretty good, too.

Grapes, of course. Wine is a gift from the Gods.

Mine would have to be raspberries. IMHO, they're one of the only common fruits that taste great no matter their ripeness.

I really dig blackberries, personally. Raspberries and blueberries are also quite good. I like a good melon as well, on occasion.

Toss up between mangoes, [url=http://waynesword.palomar.edu/ecoph19.htm]tuna (aka "cactus apple"), and watermelon.

Grapefruit (especially Ruby Reds) and Uglis are damned good too. http://whatscookingamerica.net/UgliFruit.htm

Raspberries for me. I love the flavour & they're not too sweet.

Raspberry. I would say fass, but that tends to be a bit dry and bitter a times.
(is it bad that as I was clicking this thread I thought "I bet Fass is in the poll"?)

Slightly bruised/rotten strawberries. For some reason they actually taste sweeter. But it also pays to look for deep dark red SB's.

Ripe Bananas, because unripened ones give me a winded stomach.

Oranges! I had some USA oranges batch 3107 I think and GOOD GOD they were sweet and juicy. I think I went through several kilograms of oranges in a few weeks.

Cherries!

Pineapples, strawberries, plums, lemons (lovely with mango chutney!), mangoes (lovely chutneyed and with lemon :p ), lychees, apples. I don't really have a favourite. If pushed, probably pineapples, but they're a bit expensive, so I think strawberries.

I actually had to choose... I guess first place goes to strawberries, but then i also love grapefruits, grapes, raspberries, oranges, appels (nice crunchy ones that is), kiwi's... i can't think of others at the moment, but i really like most fruits, the ones i names are just some of my favourites

Any kind of forbidden fruit is most fun.

Out of those options i like Strawberries the most because they are so sweet and odd looking but mostly the sweetness.

Fass doesn't really come off as a Fruit in my Eyes but certainly a Fag.
Fass doesn't seem Prissy enough to be a Fruit.

I had durian for the first time a few months ago. The taste was sort of OK. The problem was the smell before I put it in my mouth.

Right. Which would make eating a mango a very dangerous proposition.

It's a play on the word 'fruit'.

My favourite is persimmon. For years I just thought it was a hard tomato. But it has skin like candy, and a taste like a cross between melon and pear. So expensive, and so delicious...

Fass, when I put the word "Fruit" as a poll choice, I meant no disrespect to you, nor any other homosexual. I sincerely apologize for any offense you feel.

I have asked for this thread to be locked/deleted, as I have been unable to figure out how to change the poll options, if it is even possible.
