Oooo 🤔

I think papaya, I craved them desperately when I was pregnant with dc2. My mum would bring me one every day 😂

I also love guavas, sharon fruit, figs.

I can't really think of a fruit i don't like, maybe raspberries.

CharlesPetrescu · 06/08/2025 23:11

@deeahgwitch Indeed. I must try and track one down in the UK.

EvenHungrierHippo · 06/08/2025 23:18

Strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. I eat more vegetables than fruit though.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 06/08/2025 23:24

At the moment, luscious UK grown black cherries.

Otherwise, mango and lychees.

Mandarinaduck · 06/08/2025 23:31

Cox's apples.

Black figs.

Also love gooseberries and also wonder why they are difficult to find nowadays. I did get some this year and we devoured them.

In the winter: oranges.

EmmaD11 · 06/08/2025 23:32

Bananas. If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life I don’t think I’d get fed up of them.

Coming out soon...Victoria Plums.

This! And satsumas and lychees and every other fruit

stayathomer · 06/08/2025 23:37

Raspberries- so underrated!!!

Vetoncall · 06/08/2025 23:41

I could live on fruit. Raspberries and mango are my top two, but I've never tried any fruit I didn't like. Passion fruit, golden kiwi, cherries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, Russet apples, white flesh nectarines and lychees are more favourites. M&S had a limited edition Orange Candy melon last summer and I think I bought one every other day 😄

TaupeMember · 06/08/2025 23:45

Cherries. I could punnets of them daily.

GladioliGreen · 06/08/2025 23:45

Cherries. I planted my own cherry trees I love them so much. I like my own strawberries from the garden too but am not a fan of supermarket ones.

Dontsayyouloveme · 06/08/2025 23:47

Nectarines 🤤🤤🤤🤤 then razzers then bluebs.

TheodoraCrumpet · 06/08/2025 23:48

I love early massive locally grown cherries. So sweet and tasty. Passionfruit is another favourite.

LittleJustice · 07/08/2025 00:10

Cherries 🍒 all day long

SpandauValet · 07/08/2025 00:16

Nectarines, plums, black cherries, raspberries, strawberries.

Mangoes seem popular. The texture makes me gag. The mushroom of the fruit world.

millerpie · 07/08/2025 00:17

Strawberries, utterly addicted to them. If I could live off them and nothing else I’d be very happy.

jawsnsharks · 07/08/2025 13:17

mangosteen and rambutan if in that part of the world (way too expensive in the UK!)
nectarines
cherries
strawberries

There are some fruits I've never heard of on this thread. Fabulous!

Strawberries from the garden still slightly warm from the sun. Much tastier than the bland ones you get in supermarkets

My gosh I am so jealous, sounds divine.

Mistyglade · 07/08/2025 14:07

Perfectly ripe Sharon fruit is my fave otherwise fresh strawberries and a crunchy cold from the fridge pink lady!

They are really easy to grow in pots! I'm not particularly green fingered. Just got some seedlings from the garden centre, one from b&q did particularly well, compost, water fairly regularly. You get about 3 years out of each plant. I don't bring them in over winter and they just come back

Mine's passion fruit.

I loathe anything with passion fruit. It tastes and smells of vomit to me.

Favourite is tiny wild strawberries, but it's a pain to gather more than a teaspoonful😁. Mulberries are nice if they are really ripe. For cooked fruit, gooseberries.

I wish I liked figs more. Our tree has a HUGE crop this year; I've been trying to off-load them on friends.

ViciousCurrentBun · 07/08/2025 14:26

Granny Smith Apples with a small chunk of cheese.

I don’t have a sweet tooth at all.

I love this as a snack, especially with a wee splodge of peanut butter.

Watermelon. I cannot wait to go to Santa Monica and Venice when we go away next week. They sell fresh cut watermelon along the beach and it's so delicious, best watermelon I've had.
