But based on straight-up flavor, my favorite fruit is pineapple.
Likewise, by daily consumption, it's bananas and apples. But my fave fruit are berries, especially in homemade pies: blackberry, blueberry, raspberry. And if just talkin pies, gooseberry cuz they so tart and my late grandmother's gooseberry pie was tops.

The fuck is wrong with you people?
In my part of the world, mangoes come in on a boat that may have taken well over a month or more to get from grove to grocer. They can be really hit or miss - either very unripe and stringy and weird once ripened, or overripe and with a 3-4 day window of edibility. Mangoes are suitable winter fruit, when the local apples, pears, stone fruit, berries, grapes, etc... are out of season.

Oregon is a paradise of local fruit. No need to eat high-carbon-footprint things from over halfway around the world when what is local is some of the best stuff anywhere.

Look, every time you eat a mango in Oregon, God kills a hippie. Eat more mangos.

I considered going with mango and, tellingly, I went right to pies when talking about berries, which is a perfect illustration of Charlie Demers' great bit on this exact topic:



This is a pretty great comedy album btw. Whenever I've played the dad bits for dad friends, it kills.
