I have always loved Pears since I was a kid, but recently I've had a newfound adoration for Strawberries.
For fruit juices nothing beats the good ol' apple juice :)

Blackberries and raspberries! I still have fond memories of picking them walking the way to and from school

Apples, but they have the most variance unfortunately. The height of apples is amazing, but when you get a bad one it's utterly terrible

I rate apples on a a scale of "too much apple" to "needs more apple". I also think most apples in grocery stores are just too big.

Honeycrisp apples have become my new favorite over the years. Even a mid honeycrisp apple beats the pants off every red delicious or washington I've ever had. Fuji is a close second.

Even then sometimes you just get shitty mealy ones that make me gag. My go to is honeycrisp or cosmic crisp now though

Mangoes, the tropical kind. Also, grapes.

Bananas are a classic, but I'm a big plum fan

The only fruit juice I like is orange. Can't stand apple juice or cider. No idea why. I like apples, I just don't like that much apple flavor in my mouth or something.
Actual fruits... my favorites are probably raspberries with the caveat that I hate the seeds getting crushed and's sticking in my teeth. Plums are pretty good if you get them at the perfect ripeness - soft and sweet but not so juicy you look like you just left a porn shoot after eating one.

For the cider, it might be how sweet it is/tastes. You can try drinking it warm/hot or you can try turning it into Mulled Cider if you want to give cider another shot.
I don't chew raspberries, I'm a tongue against the roof of the mouth person, unless I want to spend way too much effort digging a seed out of a tooth.

Pineapple, banana, mango. Just about any tropical fruit.

Apricots and peaches

Pawpaws! If you get them just right, they're like eating a banana-mango custard.

Strawberries won over pears as they can be put into pierogies.

Oh my gosh, now I want a strawberry blintz.

I have seen naleśniki with strawberry jam or cream mixed with fresh fruit.
Drusas@kbin.run · 3 pts · 2y
That sounds so good. I wish I could get these things where I live. Might need to learn to make crepes and crepe-like objects.
Dave@lemmy.nz · 5 pts · 2y
I'm not a big pear fan. Partly the general flavour, but also they always feel gritty to me. But that might depend on variety.
I really like raspberries. There aren't many others I'd consider a favourite but I like plenty of others.
Weirdly, not a big fan of melons or most other tropical fruit.
Drusas@kbin.run · 5 pts · 2y
Blackberries and huckleberries, which makes living in the Pacific Northwest perfect for me. I'm sure I would hate dealing with the invasive blackberry that is found everywhere here if I didn't enjoy the fruit.

Sour cherries are my favorite fruit by far. They are good plain or in so many things, pies, cobblers, mixed into yogurt. Mulberries are another favorite. Those I have only had plain by the handful.

Berries. Strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, all the berries!
Willy@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 2y
a really good watermelon is amazing and just hits that summer vibe so right.
Severian@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 2y
Peaches or blueberries have to be my favorites. Honestly one of my favorite parts of summer
TheOakTree@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y
There's a pick-your-own blueberry place near my parents' home and the blueberries are both tastier and cheaper than store-bought, because we pick the ripest ones.
Sometimes we come home with 20-30 pounds and stick em in the freezer. Makes for a killer snack and great for smoothies.

Mangoes!

I don't have any favourite but I like avocados, bananas, sugar apples and cantaloupes.
Drusas@kbin.run · 3 pts · 2y
I've never heard of somebody loving cantaloupe. How interesting.
Chai@lemmy.sdf.org · 3 pts · 2y
It tastes like a blend of pumpkin and watermelon to me, quite nice!
Drusas@kbin.run · 3 pts · 2y
Wow, it must taste totally different to you than it does to me. It's always interesting how people perceive taste so differently.
Chai@lemmy.sdf.org · 2 pts · 2y
Very true and well said. Now I'm curious about how the fruit tastes to you.
SeveralAnts@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Nashi pears, berries, mango. I have a pear and blueberries on me right now.

Hard and tart yellow nectarines are the best. Regular apple juice is good but pressed apple juice is better. Cloudy and thicker, it has a less cloying flavor.

Pineapple and kiwi are my top two favs. I love sour stuff and these are the sourest fruits I know. But there is only one fruit I've tried that I really didn't like at all and that is cantaloupe. Shit tastes like a mango that's lost its flavor.
l_b_i@yiffit.net · 1 pts · 2y
There are 2 types of melon that call themselves cantaloupe, and they don't really taste like each other. Do you dislike both?
Kolanaki@yiffit.net · 1 pts · 2y
I've only ever had North American cantaloupe and until your comment, it was the only cantaloupe I knew to exist.

Now you made me look something up. I was just referring to eastern (Athena) vs western.

I love passion fruit! The inside looks like a bunch of alien eyes, but it tastes so good.
I just wish they had more filling

I am obsessed with grapefruit. Juice, flavour, real deal. You name it I love it.
BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
I can’t believe you like pears. Who likes pears? A fresh ripe pear is still mealy, like grainy mushy. Like an apple that’s gone past it’s prime.
Kolanaki@yiffit.net · 4 pts · 2y
You're getting the wrong pears if they're mealy/grainy. I haven't seen the good pears in years, though. Everyone around me just carries those ugly brown ones that are like bags of sand inside 🤢
The good ones are green and have the same texture as an apple. But I don't know what the species/type name is.
BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y
Asian pears are typically not mealy
TheOakTree@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 2y
I would say asian pears are less mealy but still slightly gritty. In Korea, they say that asian pears are good for a congested throat, as the graininess is supposed to help clear your throat.

Tamarillos! They're pretty rare now, tart and sweet, looks a feijoa and a tomato crossed. Love em!

Two bananas.

Nectarines are my soft spot because my mother loves them - I ate so many as kid. Recently, I have been really enjoying ripened kiwis and pineapple.
