I'm a little afraid to be walking around campus in this shirt... But pears (when they are ripe) can not be beat!
Beanalicious1 at 10:44AM on 06/26/09
oh man, it's too hard to choose...but, pressed i'd say blueberries.
(this could be remnants of the recent 'good eats' program i watched where alton was extolling the awesomeness of them-either way-i luv em'blueberries & alton-ha)
gastronomeg at 10:48AM on 06/26/09

ilovermonteats at 10:57AM on 06/26/09
Pears, mangos, pineapples, blueberries, I actually love all fruits.
allenb at 10:57AM on 06/26/09
Right now I'm eating cherries like mad, but I probably eat more apples than anything else. I'm a Pink Lady fiend.
KarynMC at 10:58AM on 06/26/09
pineapples. hands down. tangy sweet. now, only if they were easier to peel...
attgig at 11:02AM on 06/26/09
Strawberries, ESPECIALLY if they have butts.
oochmpgnoo at 11:02AM on 06/26/09
Fresh, ripe nectarines! Followed very shortly thereafter by mangos.
Erisgrom at 11:04AM on 06/26/09
I have several favorites-I love bluberries, strawberries, blackberries and raspberries. One of my favorite things to do with all of the deletible bites is to get some yogurt and add all of the above fruit with some granola. It is a great breakfast or light snack!
cassaccino11 at 11:04AM on 06/26/09
the always forgotten tomato... technically it's a fruit
loefflea at 11:05AM on 06/26/09

The blueberry is king.
@beanalicious1 - You'd get looks from all the right kind of people:)
browngravy at 11:23AM on 06/26/09
Honestly people, Apple is bootilicious! Look at it!
I haven't been eating too many lemon/orange citrus fruits this summer yet, mostly grapes, strawberries, pineapple, watermelon, banana. I did have some really tasty black cherries the other day.
finkman at 11:25AM on 06/26/09
i can't stop laughing at this!
lately, i've been really loving cherimoya. : )

i8alot at 11:29AM on 06/26/09
Such a funny shirt! I love all fruit, but summer fruit is especially good. It's a great day when I find fresh cherries for a good price!
runnereater at 11:31AM on 06/26/09
Raspberries
Vanderbecca at 11:31AM on 06/26/09
Definitely strawberries!
lisasav5 at 11:34AM on 06/26/09
There is nothing as satisfying as a juicy, sweet red apple.
And it's a rare experience, but sometimes I bite into an apple and it tastes exactly like a pear, texture wise too, and it's an explosion of happiness in my mouth :P
VSoch at 11:35AM on 06/26/09
a tree-riped summer peach
kalajo at 11:35AM on 06/26/09
Tough choice, but I think avocados would be my favorite, followed by mangoes and lychee. :)
Cassaendra at 11:36AM on 06/26/09
strawberries. but canned peaches are a close second. ;-)
fiveforefun at 11:37AM on 06/26/09
Raspberries are definitely my favorite. Fuzzy, delicate, sweet, tart, seedy and red, all in one delectable treat!
atammal at 11:43AM on 06/26/09
Black raspberries!
MerMade07 at 11:45AM on 06/26/09
yep, strawberries. when my mom was pregnant for me she craved them constantly, and ate so many that when i was born with very pink skin she feared i had become one. and i still love them to this day. avocados and mangos though, very close second.
lynnebee at 11:51AM on 06/26/09
Mango!
Pseudoku at 11:52AM on 06/26/09
freestone peaches
ephraim at 11:53AM on 06/26/09
Mango - without a doubt! I also enjoy plums and pineapples. And grapes. And tomatoes.
Ltizzle at 11:56AM on 06/26/09
Soursop - but it's nearly impossible to find fresh!
threedogkitchen at 11:58AM on 06/26/09
bananas. I love them on/in everything: cereal, smoothies, ice cream, pies, bread pudding, etc. etc.
noanise at 11:58AM on 06/26/09
Bananas are my favorite because they have appeal. . .sorry.
betteirene at 11:59AM on 06/26/09
choosing is painful, but the humble blueberry might win it this week.
rosasharne at 12:03PM on 06/26/09
Mango. Especially when it's so freakin juicy you have no choice but to eat it over a sink with the juices running down your arms to your elbows. Messy but magically delicious.
LHSK12 at 12:05PM on 06/26/09
Mango!
(or cherries)
brianstewart at 12:06PM on 06/26/09
Mangosteens!

Contrary to my username, I'll have to go with the sugary sweet longan! :)
appless48 at 12:16PM on 06/26/09
My favorite experience with fruit was as a kid eating the curiously sweet crab apples from a tree on the golf courses in the town I grew up in. Walking by in the late summer and early fall and picking a couple to munch as you walked the course still seems like magic.
timjertson at 12:17PM on 06/26/09
pineapple and pomegranites
arbus_is_god at 12:18PM on 06/26/09
raspberries!
graciecat at 12:19PM on 06/26/09

jenniley at 12:23PM on 06/26/09
Granny Smith apples
tomteevee at 12:24PM on 06/26/09
Mangoes, but we're not talking about those wussy ones I find here in California, no my friend, I mean the perfection that I find abundantly hanging on the trees during my trips to Miami. Now THAT is a mango. Incredibly sweet and with a depth of flavor that those who have never had a real tree-ripened mango can't understand. The best part? You can just pluck them off the tree in your backyard, everyone has mango trees in Miami. :)
CrumbyPages at 12:26PM on 06/26/09
Cherries are delicious but make my stomach hurt. Love watermelon too.
lollie at 12:29PM on 06/26/09
That of the loom. Possibly that of one's loins?
That of the spirit? Definitely that of the sea.
shoneyjoe at 12:29PM on 06/26/09
Wild blueberries, picked at sunrise in the Adirondaks.
bruisedbuddha at 12:30PM on 06/26/09

Na at 5:33PM on 06/26/09
Hands down, my fav fruit is mango -- when I was a kid, my grandmother would cut slices of it up and put it in the fridge until snack time. Once I got my little fingers on those cold slices, it was over!
Lorena at 5:46PM on 06/26/09

tideandthyme at 10:23PM on 06/26/09
I like virtually all fruit, so I can't pick.
But my favorite fruit-related thing is the signs in the grocery store this time of year advertising "Personal-sized watermelons." I always have to wonder . . . You hear those stories.
CatBoy at 11:25PM on 06/26/09
I love this!
Blueberries are my favorite, but I love most all fruits :)
