Fresh pineapple is delicious...and it grows right up the road from me!  ;)


My favorite fresh fruit would have to be Bing cherries...I just love 'em!  :D

Definitely pineapple.  After eating so much fresh pineapple, I can't go back to that canned crap.  I also love fresh mangoes and loquats.

Does your daughter like it?Just wondering because when I was pregnant for my son I ate tons of Popsicles and he's always loved them,I didn't eat that many with my daughter and she doesn't really care for them
I could eat melon anytime,my grandmother use to make melon balls and freeze them.

I'll second that.

I've been on a cherry kick these past two months.  Get them every time we go to the store.  I love love love snacking on them.  For some reason, it seems to make my arthritis feel better.  ???

Bing Cherries!!!  Yum!!!

I love just about all fresh fruits (minus the citrus variety) but they are so costly over here I don't buy them that often. 
Plain old bananas cost $1.29 lb.  >:(

My favorites:

Just about any melon is great
Globe Grapes
Mangoes (philippine mangoes are the best)
Peaches

Cherry juice is actually a miracle cure for gout which is along the same lines as arthritis.

As for me, cherries are the only thing I love anyway but fresh... haha. Give me some processed glace or maraschinos any day.

I know how you feel!  They're $1.19/lb. here...yet we have plantations of them all around the islands!  It's just not fair!!  >:(

Cherries I can live without...a bit difficult, as I've got several trees-worth at the back of my garden!  :D

Apricots and strawbs are my favourites, along with peaches which are just 'on the turn' (meaning that they're so ripe, they're messy! Yum!)

Isn't that just nuts!!!  The small local bananas go for about $2.50 lb.  Those are my favorite bananas.

Are you talking about Apple Bananas?  I know those are pricier than other bananas, but they're soooo good!

Is that what they are called?  They are yummy.  Strange that Shannon hates them. 

just when you thought we'd covered all the food!!!

granny smith apples
red grapes
pineapple

Apple Bananas are generally smaller than 'regular' bananas, plus they have a 'tang' to them (which is what I like!  :D)...

Also, they don't spoil as quickly as the regular bananas do...

I don't eat them that often,but  I also like Pears and oh yeah I almost forgot blackberries and red raspberries :P

I like peaches and strawberries.  I also like blueberries.

right now is the time to get fresh California Peaches, Plums, and Nectarines and they are good! I had a delicious nectarine yesterday.

I got the info below off of the eatcaliforniafruit website   

Summer: June – September
Now the orchards are humming with activity, with irrigation, pest control and pruning all helping the fruit grow to maturity during this peak harvest time. When the proper color, size and maturity are reached, the fruit is carefully harvested by hand, piece by piece, and taken to the packing facility to be prepared for shipping. Each of California’s 600 varieties of peaches, plums and nectarines has its own specific harvest time, and will often undergo at least three pickings over the course of ten days to make sure the fruit is harvested at just the right time.

^ that's a plethora of fruit...  and the seedless watermelons from here are pretty good too.

I have to admit I don't eat as much (fresh) fruit as I should.

My favorite fruit would be apples (Elstar), although there's not much fruit I don't like. Not particularly fond of kiwi fruit, but that's about it.

Some tropical fruit I like:

Atis
Starfruit
Papaya
"philippine" mangoes

 


cantalope
watermellon
any berry fruit
all stone fruits
bananas 

I like it all - I don't think I could pick a favorite.

Same here...I've loved fruit ever since I was little! :)

I know it's not original, but I love Red Deliscious Apples. Yum-o!

I like most fruit. My favourites are red grapes but I love apples ('Pink Lady' seem to be my favourite type) and bananas too.

Favourite Fresh Fruit?  George Michael :D

seriously though, I like Green Grapes and Oranges almost equally.  I eat them all the time :)

Favourite Fresh Fruit?  George Michael :D

Ha ha, George Michael is hardly what I call fresh, Jason - unless you mean toilet fresh.  ;)

Not a lot I don't like but I LOVE bananas. Can't go a day without out one and man, do they keep away colds!! I love Pink Lady apples too. They were developed here in Western Australia. Oh and coconut - could eat it until I explode! :D

At the moment I like to keep a bowl of fresh fruit in my bedroom. I usually buy apples, bananas and pears.

Ohter types of fresh fruit I like include strawberries, raspberries, mango, watermelon, grapes, oranges and pineapple.

Had a bowl of freshly cut pineapple yesterday and it was delicious!  :D

I never buy cans of pineapple anymore.  Always the fresh stuff.  It is SO much better tasting than canned.

Our farmers market has had a run of plums lately, so I have three different kinds in the refrigerator at the moment.  I also bought some peaches from there, and man, they are perfect!

Oh, I cannot stand 'canned' pineapple!  It doesn't even taste like real pineapple!!  :P

Sounds yummy!  :D

I bought some fresh nectarines from Costco recently and they are sooooo good!  :)

My hubby's friend had a housewarming/delayed wedding reception last Saturday night and they had a fresh fruit bouquet set up on the buffet/dining table.  Goodness me, did I ever tuck into that cantaloupe.  I rarely get it here since hubby won't eat it.  But once in a while I'll decide to just get one just for myself (same with watermelon)

I think I love most fruit (except bananas 8-P)
