What's your favourite fruit?

Roger Mellie Man on the Telly

I like watermelons.

Tomatoes.

SuperBowserWorld

Bananas.

Convenient and easy to peel.

Funny looking. Lots of banana innuendo.

Good for slipping on practical joke back in the day, before people had TV and stuff.

Nice in porridge.

Strumms

Mandarins, lovely to eat on their own, mixed with some ice cream or a fruit salad.

For eating raw, sweet grape. For juice, I think it is peach.

Quite a few actually but mostly exotic and expensive to buy in Ireland unfortunately. Definitely worth a try if you ever get the chance (Included some links to give an idea of picture for those interested)

Watermelon - Juicy. I tend to buy to elongated version (I think of Turkish origin (??) in the summer, they are heavy and expensive but generally great result as picking watermelon can be hit or miss sometimes)

Galia Melon (Very ripe) - Lovely aroma

Mango - Lovely smell and taste, fibre stuck on teeth can be annoying

Rambutan - Lovely chewvy texture and aroma

Longan - Lovely chewvy texture and aroma

Green Grape (Cotton Candy variety) - Nice flavour

Doughnut Peach (a.k.a Flat Peach) - Juicy

Starfruit (a.k.a Carambola) - Rub a tiny bit of salt on it

Mangosteen - Lovely fruit but watch out for the purple staining from the skin

Pear (Asian variety) - They are bigger compared to ones you get here but very juicy

Strawberry - Sweet and juicy, nothing like freshly picked strawberry from the Sunny Southeast region, generally can't go wrong.

Clementine (Easy peeler variety) - Sweet.

Bananas and blueberries. I love good quality ripe peaches and any type of berry also.

El Tarangu

Do they have 'santa claus' melons in Ireland these days? The skin looks like a gone-off watermelon, but inside is like a yellow melon, only more delicious - they are the business altogether.

JupiterKid

Lemon is by far my favourite citrus fruit flavour but lemons are a tad bitter to eat on their own.

Strawberries when just ripe and juicy are the business!

Peaches, not the doughnut ones which seem to not have the 'ting' of regular ones.

Peaches come from a can. They were put there by a man. In a factory downtown

I love an orange, but I'd want somebody peeling it for me haha. Everytime I try peel the feckers, my thumb bursts a segment, and there's squirts of juice going everywhere, or else i'm left with one with a thick layer of that white pith.

Otherwise, I quite enjoy fresh cherries, flat peaches (easy to eat neatly!), pineapple.

Don't like bananas, could take or leave an apple.

AyeGer

I like oranges too but they are a pain in the aras to peal.

Try peeling them in your hand.

Grapes. Would eat a whole punnet until I realised the amount of calories 😲

silverharp

Strawberries as a kid, now cherries

Furze99

Apples, blackcurrants - most fruits that grow in Ireland.

Imported stuff - less so. God knows where they come from and what was sprayed on them.

False sense of security there, the Irish grown stuff is sprayed with all sorts too

Be right back

Also should say I love picking wild blackberries around this time of year.

OK but our ancestors grew up eating apples etc., even oranges were a rare treat when I was young. And it was far from pineapples and fancy supermarket fruits we were reared.

We'd have our own apples from about now till Christmas and even if you see Irish apples in supermarkets, they are so much better than the stuff that's imported and has to have long storage characteristics.

Eat local as best you can.

MakersMark

Dragonfruit...when you can get it.

nemefuria

Mangos

Bought a juice in Jump today - strawberries, apple, pear, grapes. Jeez 'twas glorious.

Count Dracula

Love Watermelon, really getting into eating the pips also, kinda crunchie.

Don't buy it in plastic , so bad for the envo.

You can score lovely slices in most ethnic grocers, half the price and twice the quality of your supermarket. < 2 quid

Love wiping it off my big fat cheeks and sucking up the juices, absolute mammy.

Gets my fangs going bigtime, pure sex.

Pears are class

put_the_kettle_on

I love cherries in season and afterwards trying to tie a knot in a stalk with my tongue.

Bananas are grand on toast with peanut butter and sesame seeds. You feel well fed after.

I get through wheel barrows of grapes in summer, red, green, black, not bothered which. I love them all.

Crisp, local, in season apples that I enjoy eating with a tiny sharp paring knife. Like a little food ritual.

billyhead

Beans.

Oranges, clementines, strawberries, raspberries, and plums if I can find any that are actually ripe.

Wasn't it BOD that said that, or at least made it prominent?
