Bananas, coconuts, pears, strawberries, grapes, blueberries and cherries are my things.

While I don't like the fruit itself, I do like orange/apple juice and lemon zest.
 
Where are grew up at I could go outside and pick all manners of wild berries because they grew everywhere. I like strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and more obscure ones like cloudberries and huckleberries. I prefer all of those over large fruits. Pomegranates are also good, but I've never been able to work out the best way to eat them.

I can get why people hate cranberries, because store-bought berries are inferior to wild ones. They're bred to be bigger in size, but it's much harder to increase the sugar and flavor content of them as well, so they're diluted compared the wild ones. Cranberries suffer from this especially. Fresh wild cranberries and blueberries are the size of peas, but the flavor is so concentrated that people who aren't used to eating them often have a hard time doing it. Once you're used to them though, they're so much better than what you get in the store. I once smashed a couple wild strawberries, which are smaller than a grape, on my backpack, and the scent of them stuck around for over a week because of how concentrated they are.

Cherries and cranberries. You can get them dried in little packs. Fresh, I like pomegranates and blackberries and raspberries.

Fun fact, apples are not native to North America. Only fruits that are are cranberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries I do believe.
 
Pomegranates are also good, but I've never been able to work out the best way to eat them.

My family used to have a tree when I was a kid, we used a pin to stab and pick out the seeds, but yeah there really isn't any way to stop it being somewhat fiddly.
 
I used to hate mangos because my step mum bought me a mango and ever after letting it ripen it tasted like pumpkin but then I ate one a few years later and I realized that I had just had a bad mango previously.
Currently I'm trying to figure out the best way to locate the pit to get the most mango out of the mango
 
I've just been informed that avocados are fruits.

I like actual bananas and banana-flavored candy equally.
 
all types of summer berries are great, as well as mangoes, pomegranates, and bananas. but my favourite flavour of anything, ever is orange: soda, candy, chocolate, popsicles, cosmetics, etc. i also fucking love the fruit in itself, especially clementines.
 
Did I mention I love blood oranges and can't wait to buy some?
 
Don't know if this is quite the right thread, but ehhhh...

Tried the new Oceanspray Cran-Pineapple juice they just put out. It has a strong pineapple flavor at first, but as you drink it it seems to fade, and a Koolaid flavor takes over. Not saying it's bad, but not going to become a favorite.
 
Cherries and pineapple are my ultimate favorites. Cherries in particular are so good I will eat dozens of the bastards over a lot of the junk food I indulge in... well except my meat snacks.
 
My favorite fruits are:

Strawberries
- Top fruit, but it spoils too quick, huge pain in the ass to deal with. I eat them raw but my mother would make them with limoncello and sugar that turned it into an even sweeter and sourer dessert dish (with whipped cream and shortcakes).

Pineapple
- I grill it and eat it with Polynesian food and Mexican food. Grilling it makes it even sweeter and tender.

Grapes
- Only fruit that's actually practical to eat since it takes forever to spoil.

Cherries
- I don't eat them a lot by themselves (sometimes I do) but I like them in pies, up there with pumpkin pie and pecan pie as my preference (no interest in apple pie).

Apple
- I don't like eating apples much (they're inconvenient) but fried apples (sautee apple in butter and cinnamon) are very good dessert dishes and I have contemplated trying baking apples in the microwave and eating them with fork and knife like a potato.

Plantain
- Frying plantains is very nice, it's like a fruit that eats like potato, but it's a bitch to cook, special snowflake fruit that takes forever to ripen and god forbid you try to eat it before its fully ripe or its useless.

Banana
- This is getting pretty low on the list, but bananas are okay.
