Good morning


Every morning I start the day off with an orange and a banana.  So I started wondering...

What's your favorite fruit?

I love pomegranates and recently dragon fruit has been a favorite of mine.

Blueberries. A nice ripe cantalope or muskmelon. Fuji apples. Mangoes. Fresh pineapple.

When I was a kid (growing up in Japan), we used to eat "biwa" by the pound when they were in season. Found out the tree in my friend's yard was a biwa tree and we sat in the tree and ate them. So yummy! It took some major Google-fu to find out what a biwa is called in English. . .I guess they're loquats. I haven't seen one since we left :(. I'm sure they would be my favorites if I could still get them.


I haven't tried dragonfruit but my dish soap says it's dragonfruit scented :lol3:. And the picture of the fruit on the bottle looks appetizing.

Depends on what is in season.  Usually it is either a banana or blackberries if in season.  I'm a blackberry addict
I love bananas too.  Now and then I'll eat an apple.  If I can find a good ripe peach I'll eat one of those.  Gawd... apparently I just love fruit.

We have several loquat trees and their in season right now. Lots and lots of orange fruit all over. Unfortunately, neither me nor my kids like them, but my father-in-law goes into the trees at least twice a day, to get them fresh off the branches.

I love so many fruit - but the ones we have plentiful in our backyard, happen to be ones I don't like, like said loquats, figs, mangoes and passion fruit :( I do like our lichees but it's a small tree, so not a lot of fruit on that one. Oh wait, we have a few vines with some good grapes that I like.

Black raspberries. I grow my own. They are amazing!  They're so sweet, you often don't need to add sugar to them.  I pick them, and immediately eat them with whipped cream and a teaspoon of Equal or sugar, in a bowl.  I freeze the rest for baking cobblers.
