What's your Least favorite fruit?

Amazing. With your strong dollar, couldn't you import them from Kroger at even less than the .49/lb IrishK mentions?

I got a bunch of bananas (8) for two bucks. Love bananas.

The only berry I like is strawberries. Don't like any other berry. Don't like the taste. Don't like the texture.

Are nuts fruit? Don't like nuts either. On rare occasions I might eat a salted peanut. Otherwise, no thanks. Walnuts taste like soap to me.

I never realized it, but walnuts do taste like soap.

Reminds me of an old cartoon. Buncha cows standing around eating grass and looking kind of like CowDoc's avatar. One raises her head and says "Grass. Grass!? Hey girls, we've been eating grass!"

Somewhere in there was a farmer that didn't realize the problems brewing in the lower forty.

i like mangoes. wooooooooow great taste

Youre probably one of the small minority of people who may be allergic to the skin of pears. Theres a food allergy that has to do with how you handle various textured foods and pears are always up on the list . People who are allergic can actually choke on pears .
My least favorite fruit has gotta be the "Home raised" grape. The skins are tough, the grape still ahs that "fox grape" taste and the p[ulp is slimy.

Durian fruits were something I steered away from when I was in SE Asia and Taiwan. Many people liked em but I couldnt get past the "gym sneakers "smell that Ive always associated with propionic bacteria.

Really?
I don't care for the taste or texture of the fruit itself, sans skin, either.
I know this sounds weird, but the taste reminds me of "old people"


reyn, cherries?
that's funny, I was thinking when I started this "what's a fruit everyone likes" and I would have thought cherries.
What don't you like about them?

i have noticed I do not like anything in the watery/green skin appearance..

Green grapes... horrid little bursts of tongue drying tartness
Green apples.. a waste of skin. I love red apples, but the green ones just make me wince.
Green pears same thing. Dry, tart...yuck.
Green mangos, though always a 'wet' fruit.. the green just tastes wrong.
Green bananas dry my mouth out and taste like drywall .. ( though in breads they go over ok)

I agree partially with reyn on the cherries...

MOST cherries in the store really dont have a lot of flavor.
there is one cherry that is dark dark red, almost purple.. that one..oh man is absolutely divine..

I remember as a kid having a tree out front of our house and eating a lot of them.

Nowadays, I just don't like the taste at all.

Plus, they're expensive as heck.

Cantalope! Their soo nasty!

Do cantalopes hurt your mouth?

Years ago it used to hurt mine if I ate more than a little.

No but pineapples do! Like the ones that come from Hawaii? The whole ones that you have to cut up yourself. Theyre soo good but if you eat a lot of it they'll burn the corners of your mouth!

I wonder how much one's liking/disliking of a fruit is owed to the ability to consume the fruit at its peak freshness. Cantaloupe for example is a great fruit when its ripe. Not too overripe and its soggy and has a mushy texture. Underripe and it doesn't have any flavor and the texture is too firm (?). It's been awhile since I had any underripe cantaloupe.

But the difficulty of cantaloupes are figuring the perfect time to cut it open and serving it.

slightly unripe bananas i can handle

Some people have mentioned not liking figs.

There's the figs in fig newton, dried figs and fresh.
Fresh figs aren't overly sweet.

The acid (Ascorbic acid or vitamin C) in the pineapple might be the reason you burn your mouth when you eat pineapple.

The following amount of vitamin C in a serving of pineapple.

As opposed to what is recommended per day of vitamin C intake:

So in theory, you maybe getting a lot more vitamin C then you need though other then the minor burns on the mouth there really isn't too much to worry about regarding too much vitamin C.

i love fresh figs, that cool little crunchiness when you bite into them

but boy are they pricey.

I like them mixed with yogurt. I imagine being in Greece

I like dried figs, the one's that come on a string, because it reminds me of my grandma.

i haven't had them in a while (the fresh ones)

How did you string up your grammama?
I just smothered mine with a pillow cause she smelled like an old person.

PS I also hate star fruits and prickly pear fruits. Unless you stuff the slices in a sugar syrup with lemon.
