Well the whole good versus bad thing is part of it. I like bananas okay, but they are all cloned, so they are all pretty much identical. They're all a 7. If they had decided to vary, then you could find some that were a 10, but no. Unlike the strawberry, which ranges from 1 to 10.

Gosh, I barely rank any of those fruits!

1. Cherry
2. Braeburn apple
3. British strawberry
4. White seedless grape
5. Mini clementine
6. Red seedless grape
7. Pineapple
8. Fig
9. Rhubarb
10. Raspberry (last because it has to be with something - too sharp to eat alone)

I forgot pineapple! That goes up near the top.

Grilled pineapple is like my top food ever, not just in the fruits category.

they have that at Wegmans. omgomgomg. its orgasmic

If it was freshly picked pineapple, I'd probably have it 3rd on my list.
Had it every day in Sri Lanka and it exploded in my mouth (not literally)
But our pineapple is harvested earlier to arrive in the UK as nearly ripe.
I still enjoy it, but it's more acidic.

Specifiying "fresh Sri Lankan pineapple eaten for breakfast" would have rightfully earned me a punch on the nose.

The last time I sent my folks to Hawaii, they brought back fresh ripe pineapple. They were home about a week before I got up there, so the pineapple was dead ripe and orgasmic. Unfortunately I've never found anything close here on the mainland. :(

Don't want to burst your bubble, Bruce.
But it sounds like it might have been fermented ;)

xoxoxoBruce 08-13-2013 01:53 PM

Not that far gone, but sweet as hell and not acidic.

Yeah, I was thinking that you could make it a top 20 list, and just put apples before, after, and in between the other nine fruits.
