    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.

    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.

    Mangoes and raspberries top 2. Delicious.

    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.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,623 ✭✭✭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.

    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.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,327 ✭✭✭✭Donald Trump


    banana innuendo?

    banana in-your-endo more like.

    its a close call between raspberries and Kiwis



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,327 ✭✭✭✭Donald Trump



    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.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,493 ✭✭✭AyeGer


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

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

    Strawberries as a kid, now cherries

    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
