I have no idea what's wrong with you guys, when I was a kid I used to eat them till I got sick. So damn delicious, especially with chocolate.

MMMmmmmmMMMmmmmm.....

mangoes are my favourite, so tasty and soft

Am I weird for thinking this picture is really effing sexual?

Reminds me of Giada and Paula's shows "food porn" editing.

fuck grapefruit

This chart is so so wrong.

 

[kaskade]

I like them best when their most ripe. I think, I'm assuming that's when the inside is really red and juicy. When it's too white they end up tasting more bitter.

Fresh grapefruit is beastly.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

I'm eating some homemade lemon cupcakes with strawberry frosting and strawberry curd that I made last night and you couldn't be more wrong.


Though, raspberries are better.

The hell?

Fresh grapefruit is beastly.

Alright this I can agree with. So awesome, and it's not like it's difficult either. Cut it in half and get a damn spoon. The fruit makes its own bowl. It's like magic.

Yeah, maybe it's just being from Texas, where we get the fresh, sweet, giant Ruby Reds for cheap by the case every year (lots of high schoolers sell them door-to-door by the case here for fundraisers for extracurricular trips and stuff) but I absolutely LOVE grapefruit.

And Grapefruit juice with Pomegranate is quickly becoming one of my fav. juice cocktails too. Awesome way to start the day. Just add vodka for late night health drinking too.

Now we're talkin. Tart is where it's at.
Another thing about grapefruit juice in cocktails. You can put as much vodka in there as you want and it never gets too strong.

Farm-picked strawberries are incredible. The typical stuff you see at the grocer's, not so much. I don't think I've ever bought a GOOD batch of strawberries from a grocer's.

 

[DataStream]

Come to CA and buy them from a farmer and we'll talk.

 

[Kritz]

fuck y'all bitches raspberries are where it's at. Strawberries don't know what's up. I ain't wanna eat no berries made out of fuckin straw.

Now, rasps, man I could eat some metric fuck-tonnes of them.

how the hell is a banana more difficult than an apple?
if anything an apple is more difficult

Pick apple from tree.
Bite into apple.

Pick banana from tree.
Peel banana.
Bite into banana.

Now pomegranate on the other hand is much more difficult than a pineapple.

 

[iamcenok]

I'm in the Artificial strawberry flavoring > Strawberries camp.

Also, chocolate covered cherries are the superior chocolate covered fuit snack.

 

[True Underdog]

Why would you ruin a perfectly good cherry by covering it in chocolate?

I disagree with this.

Fuck you too. =P

Iunno, ask the people who make them. They're maraschino cherries anyways.
Black cherries are the bomb.

My Grandmother grows strawberries at her house and they are fantastic. Store-bought strawberries are much bigger, but they're quite bland in comparison. My advice is to try some from a small farmers market I guess.

 

[thesoapster]

Pomegranate should be higher but no doubt they are a PITA to get the arils out. Sogood, though. Bananas, if given time to ripen (so they start getting freckles), can be really damn good. Cut them up on Cheerios and that is a perfect breakfast. I eat lemon slice whole (rind included) after meals sometimes...really fresh feeling after.

 

[Flink]

Dried mango is the best food ever. Seriously. Well, as long as there's no sugar and sulfur shit added.

So good.

you have to buy specific types and while there in season for them to be good. most of the time strawberries arent very good.

 

[Lunchbox]

they are sour and filled with seeds

worst fruit i have ever tasted. terrible

 

[entremet]

Just going to echo the sentiments about the importance of eating them in season.

 

[jax (old)]

To be honest. They don't taste very good. Strawberry flavored stuff is good, but natural strawberry fruit isn't really good tasting.

Am I alone? Dip them in sugar, cover them in chocolate, whatever you do they still taste super boring. I don't know how to describe it.

Discuss.

real strawberries not those grown on hydrophonic farms (grown big and mostly tastless = meh).. real strawberries are smallish, really sweet and full of strawberry flavour. great in fruit tars with custards anyhow.

Watermelon too low. Peaches too high.

Can we start a strawberry versus cherry debate?
