Fruit is GOOD and EVIL!

**RICHARD** · 03-16-2008, 02:51 PM

Since we have extolled the evils of grapefruit-Let's try a Fave/NOT-SO-FAVORITE Fruit Thread.

----------------------------

I pretty much like all fruits...Fresh fruit salads are great.

I especially like Kiwi fruit and prickly pears.....when I can get them. Jelly made from prickly pears is XLNT!

Regular pears are o.k. Not too fond of tangerines.

The good..

Pears, pineapple, banana's oranges tangerines, kiwi, grapes, CHERRYS!

Passion fruit. I'm pretty good when it comes to fruit.

The bad..

Melons

I cant stand the taste of melons. grapefruit. I tried a tiny bit and its made my tongue feel so weird! apples.

Its weird. I used to love these melon sweets but eating one was just too much for me. Remember jolly ranchers?

I pretty much like all fruits expect bananas - too sweet - but favourites could be grapes and cherries.

I am not good with veggies- but I like fruit:
apples, pears, oranges, grapefruits, cherries, raspberries, gooseberries, blueberries, mangoes, pineapples, strawberries, peaches, nectarines, plums, melons, papayas, cassis (is that English, maybe not), grapes you name it.....

Maybe my favorites are the yellow and light red cheries like Mt Rainier cherries

I Hate! tomatoes (which really is a fruit....)

I never used to like fruit at all but now I eat fruit everyday.

I'm not fond of eating apples by themselves, except when I put a little peanut butter on them (a PTer told me this...)
I'm also not fond of blueberries. I tried them again today and even though they have all kinds of anti oxi and anti cancer stuff, I still don't like them.

All other fruits I will eat but recently I've become addicted to Asian Pears. Man, I could eat them for every meal.

I love prickly pears. They are quite common in Sicily. You know how here, you go to a tourist place or an 'attraction (a parade, a carousel ride, whatever) and there is someone selling peanuts and another with cotton candy? When we were in Sicily, the vendors at the sites sell prickly pears - all skinned, and on a Popsicle stick, ready for eating! (They have a cart like an ice cream stand, on wheels.) YUM!

I love most fruits. Unfortunately in the past 14 months, I have not been permitted to eat any all by myself. Sugar LOVES them and wants some of everything. Lacey takes some so as not to be outdone by her sister, but her face suggests she is not too keen on them, te hee. I sit and eat one or 2 pieces in the evening, watching TV. Sugar is right there, "where's my piece?" and 'give me some MORE!" So far, she has eaten apples (any variety seems OK), pears (ditto), banana, oranges. Last evening I open a package of dried figs and yup, Sugar had two all to herself! (Lacey took one small piece and nursed it along until we were finished.)

I do know not to offer them grapes.

I love fruit. I think I love all fruit, although bananas are not my favorite. I have a fruit-addict baby too! She and I are both insanely crazy about clementines, but she's way more fond of bananas then I am. I can't ever eat a whole banana and she can.

I think mangos are my very favorite fruit in the world. Those and avacados....I could seriously eat them all day every day for the rest of my life. In California I used to eat avacados right from the tree (my aunt has several fruit trees in her yard in Santa Barbara) and I remember someone she knew had mango trees and we'd just load up on mangos and avacados....yummy!

I love fruit but lots of it upsets my tummy: bananas and oranges are the worst!

Grapefruit I can't eat because it interacts with one of my blood pressure meds. Don't really like it much anyhow, plus it upsets my tummy too.

I do love grapes, watermelon and cantaloupe. Strawberries and blueberries are great in soy smoothies so I have one of them a day lately. I found out I eat less junk if I have a fruit smoothie every day.

**sirrahved** · 03-16-2008, 07:23 PM

I love all citrus, bananas, grapes, apples (if they're good apples!) pears...

The only fruit I can't stomach is strawberries! How can anyone eat those things?

**Husky_mom** · 03-16-2008, 07:35 PM

I almost never eat fruit.....

but the ones I do LIKE to eat....are

apples, tangerine, orange and lemon

the ones that I don´t: the rest of them!! LOL.......

I however like things fruit flavored as water, juice, candies, gum, etc... but just cant eat´the fruit itself... some I can´t stand the taste (even when flavored stuff tastes the same) and most likely I can´t stand textures..... yeah I´m weird.....
