I have to go with the humble apple. Great on its own, great baked into a pie. Very few bad implementations of apples.

No mango, post is invalid.

A ripe mango is what all fruit aspires to.

Peaches, when tree ripened and purchased from a roadside stand, close second.

Everything else is an undergraduate poetry reading, by comparison.

If you want to make a limited to 10 option fruit salad, you gotta break a few mangoes. Plus I’ve never had a truly satisfying one, despite knowing their potential. Sheep in wolf’s clothing of the fruit world as far as I’m concerned.

call it bigotry if you must - i'm not perfect - but i think everyone should congratulate Nico for even conceiving of this thread. a Scotsman! who knows fruit! well done you.

(cheap shot, just envious. they kept on fighting the sais long after we turned into an Embittered Drizzle Theme Park.)

sorry. please continue this interesting debate.

Bananas.

Banana split.

Bananas on pancakes. Banana pancakes.

Banana smoothies.

Banana bread. I mean, come on. Game over, man. Game over.

All fruit aspires to be fruit flavored dental floss stuck in my teef? Fuck that.

I think we all need to get much more worked up about this...such that in real life people come to blows defending their favorite fruits.

You live in a city surrounded by Latin fruit markets and somehow have never had a perfect mango. This makes no sense!

Get thee to the Rogers Park Fruit Market in about seven weeks, buy a case of the green and red Mexican mangoes. Please report back.
