**After spending a morning of feasting on the elusive pineapple, the pettalks in the Village of pettopia, have started to converse on which fruits they like best, which sends me through a repeat of last night! After traviling many feet to the frige I have found an rare and apple in the bottom of the drawer! YAH!! I have been spared!

Which fruits I LOVE:
1. Mangoes from Pakistan (known to be the world's best. There are thousands of mango varieties there. You would be shocked.) Mangoes in general, but the mangoes there are SPECIAL! You can smell them across the streets in the summer, and most houses have mango trees there where you can pick them fresh! YUM!
2. Cherries!
3. Grapes
4. Nectreens (I like them better than peaches. No fuzz)
5. Apricots
6. Plums
7. Berries, all kinds
8. Pineapple
9. leechee (sp?)
Don't exactly have a worst..................... I'll have to think about that.

I'm allergic to most fruits, but I love strawberries, peaches, and plums. I'm allergic to apples and pears, but they are good too. I really don't like kiwi and cherries. I have never tried a rasberry before, or an apricot. Grapes are good I guess, purple or green.

Yeah, I'm like most of you all in that I love most every fruit.
My favs are:
1. Mangoes (Pops - I haven't had a Pakistani one, but the ones from Puerto Rico are just as you described.)
2. Passionfruit - yummmmm!
3. cherries - I literally cannot stop myself from eating these things.
4. berries - any kind, any shape, any time!
5. peaches - love the soft skin and the juicy innards!
6. bananas - I like them when they're JUST ripe with a wee bit of green on them.

I love peaches, nectarines, plums, bananas, oranges, kiwi, pears, grapes, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. I really dislike blueberries, huckleberries, boysenberries - a lot of the really tart tasting berries I don't like.
Apples are ok, but they get boring throughout the winter :) I love the spring/summer fruits

Just to clear it up for the others. Lauren used the same program as she does, obviously, not paying attention to her sig. After Lauren telling me what happened, I did it just to see what she'd say. It's not like we copied the sig directly, Lauren used the same border unknowingly you had the same. Oh yes we "copied" and we're not very original. please.

Cookiebaker, I really doubt that Lauren was trying to copy you. She didn't use your signature to make her own. She just happened to have the same program...it's not the same signature, just the same border.
I'm sorry you guys are upset about this. I like your new signature better anyway. Cuter pic of that lovable Malone. :D And KayAnn, I like your new signature better also. I love Simba!

The only fruit I don't like is grapefruit.

Cookiebaker, I'm sorry you are upset about this. I doubt Lauren meant to copy you and just happened to be using the same software as you. Maybe all 3 of you should make up. Its not so big of a deal. :rolleyes: BTW, I love both of your new signatures, although Rilla is a bit upset about her mommy's. ;) She's complaining that her mom put her brother and sister in her signature, but left her out alone. :(

02-10-2003, 12:55 PM
Thank you for understanding Popcornbird...I think you got the situation perfectly. I even PM'd Lauren back to that effect...
thanks for the reply. I thought that you had just seen mine and copied it...and if THAT were the case then it would be nice to let the person know. But if you used the same program and came up with it on your own, then that's completely different. So I hope my note didn't offend you or anything.
Anyway, it didn't really bother me until I saw that Kayann was doing that to PO me. :rolleyes:
p.s. I think you are right about Rilla, too. Hmmm...I'll hafta work on that in my free time. :D

You think I was snobby to her? I thought I was being quite reasonable in PM'ing her. I accepted what she had to say. Obviously you didn't accept that I accepted that. Did I tell her to take it off? No. So get a life & get a grip. You are completely blowing this out of proportion. I am just wondering how you will like it when I start copying your signature. Then we will see who gets snobby.

Whats the dif if 10 people use the same sig?????????? If you are using your own program. KayAnn is qood on the putter I can't see why she would use anyone elses - it was a JOKE!!
It does sounds rather funny to hear a 17 year old tell a 15 year old the correct way to act - when just the other night you were bashing Mugsy who is a teacher no less.
KayAnn has been on here a long time and is respected by many.
My fav. fruit is peaches (in season) and cream:D Many fruits have too much acid for me these days.

Persomans? (sp??) Those dark orange fruits right? Yes I have tried them. There are two kinds. One is crunchy, sweet, and not dry. That one is great. The other, if eaten before totally ripen, is DRY DRY DRY! OMG! It makes your mouth so dry that it feels like you have no water left in your body. Its NASTY. But try it when it is so ripe the juice spills all over. You'd think its a fruit from heaven. One of our neighbors has two persoman trees in her backyard and gives them to us ALL the time. I hate when they are dry and nasty, but onces they become so soft and juicy, they are DELICIOUS. I LOVE them. You must have tried a nasty dry one. YUCK. My dad ate one of those the first time he ate them, and now he won't believe us that they are good when ripe. He won't touch them. :rolleyes: They are extremely good for your health too. Maybe try a well ripe soft and juicy one this summer and you might change your opinion. :)

Nobody has lost my respect. Though I did find it a bit petty....you do realize you were fighting over a valentines signature ?? Yes, it *should* have been via PM's, but Cookiebaker was the one who brought it up in the thread. I don't think KayAnn is entirely to blame here.
Either way, it looks like it's over now, so I'm glad for that.
On the topic of fruit....I like Strawberries, Apples, Oranges, Kiwi, White Grapes, etc...I'm picky about apples though....I don't like the red kind...the skin is bitter. The fruit that I hate is pineapple. I don't care for cherries either.

I love all fruit, at least the ones I have tried. I don't think I have had persimmons, or mango, though. I will try mangos, but, I dont think I would like persimmons.
Pommagrantes? They are good, but what a bunch of work! Plus, they stain sooo bad. I love all apples, and think mandarin oranges are right up with there with peaches!

Yeah, I did try a dry one! I have no idea where I can get a ripe one though, especially this time of year. Do they sell them at regular food stores, like King Kullen of something?:) I'd love to try one, I'm never afraid to try anything (well unless I have an allergy to it). Tomatos are a fruit...right?

OK, I think i'm the weird one here - 'cause I love absolutely everything at least one here hates:
peaches,
APRICOTS (esp. over-ripe)
grapefruits
kiwi
pomegranate
canned peaches,
or any canned fruits
melon (well, it's not a fruit, it's a vegetable)
water melon
bananas
pineapple
canned pineapple (also not a fruit)
any kind of berries
cherries
sour cherries
wild cherries
PLUMS!!!!
pears
cherry-plums!!!!
strawberries (see above - any berries)
grapes (I get fat from the glucose/grape sugar contained in grapes)
The only thing I can't eat as much as I wish is APPLES, esp. the sour ones. My teeth get a strabge feeling from to much acid (the acid is contained in apples).
My parents have a large orchard with yummy ecologically pure fruits (does anyone still remember how they taste?)

Vio-
I am sure I am walking into this but....pineapples and melons are not fruits? Does it have to do with seeds not being inside? Or, are you just pulling some Moldy magic on me?

Biologically speaking, mellons, water mellons are not fruits, they are vegetables, just like pumpkins (have you ever seen how they grow?). Yes, they are sweet, but not all fruits are sweet. Have you tried to eat the walnut fruit?:eek: It's awful. We eat the seed only. Oh, carrots are also sweet (I am crazy about raw carrot), are they fruits.
Pineapple is (also biologically speaking :cool: ) a herb, not a tree, but this is how they explain it in the Britannica (e.g.)
Fruit-bearing plant (Ananas comosus) of the family Bromeliaceae, native to the New World tropics and subtropics but introduced elsewhere. Pineapple is served fresh where available and in canned form worldwide. It is a key ingredient in Polynesian cuisine. Like agave and some yuccas, the plant has a rosette of 30-40 stiff, succulent leaves on a thick, fleshy stem. A determinate inflorescence forms 15-20 months after planting. After fertilization, the many lavender flowers fuse and become fleshy to form the 2-4 lb (1-2 kg) fruit. Ripening takes 5-6 months.
BTW, my parents had about ten years ago a 1ha plantation of watermellons - just for us!!! I thought I will never eat watermellons or mellons again. The next year I couldn't wait until they ripe. Also we had for three years a 0.5ha plantation of strawberries when I was still in the school, can you imagine? Hundreds of kilos just for us!!!! I miss those times. My parents are a little older now and they can't have so much work, anyway, we're not there to eat it all.

I always thought the fruit is the part of the plant that comes after the blossom. :confused: Melons come after blossoms. But then that would make tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, cucumbers, and other veggies fruits too! :eek: I don't know how they divide it, but personally, I divide it as (sweet and/or juicy: fruit) (not sweet, less yummy, can be cooked for dinner, not so juicy: veggie) :p I know that melons are "considered" fruits and so are pinapples (they are far to pretty to be a veggie!) so I take them as a fruit. Oh well.

They are good! And I'm still trying to grow my own! When I moved in November, my tree came with me. It is an offshoot of a Pomegranite tree that belonged to my great grandfather (the one I am named after). I have had blooms, but no fruit so far. My mom has the original tree in her yard and sometimes she might get 8-10 a year. They are a lot of work to eat, but so good!!! :)
I think my favorites are:
Bananas, apples, grapefruit, cantelope, tangerines, oranges, tomatos, and best of all fresh pineapple and fresh peaches!!!!

After the blossom stage comes the fruit stage. That's what I've been learning throughout the years! But then that makes many veggies fruits in reality! I don't know how they are divided, but for me, the sweet and juicy are fruits!!! (Carrots don't count as "sweet" for me. I hate them. lol)
