| Talk Tuesday! rank your favourite fruit flavours-- let's limit them to a Top 10 or Top 5 list--- and then defend your picks in the comments. "feijoa"?? Fruit? I'm self-limiting when it comes to fruit. I can take it or leave it, mostly I'm indifferent. Veggies are more my go-to food choice. Oddly, the only vegetable'ish food I detest is cucumbers. Gack! Cukes make me puke... sorry... Although I do like pickles, dills, and yes, I'm well aware that they are cucumbers drowned in vinegar and spices. Oh, I researched the exotic fruit name that Norb banned from this blog site, the "feijoa". Nope, I'm not tempted in the least to taste something that evokes pineapple, apple, and mint... Yuck! This is another tropical discovery like the "eyeball" fruit my sisters were sampling years ago. Okay, sigh, uncomfortable shiver.... I rarely eat fruit. I have to be in the mood, and my mood swings are not volatile, or extreme. Most fruit smells godawful to me, especially any type of melon. Who was the marketing whiz who decided to combine the scents of cucumber AND melon in candles, lotions, etcetera? Now, I do like citrusy smells, and I do like to eat an occasional orange, and sip lemonade once in a while. I would never turn down a slice of lemon, or lime pie. Grapefruit though is a definite no. Bananas are great for baking; loaves, muffins, cakes.. mmm... Strangely, there is only one apple I like, the Macintosh. It's wonderful in a fresh, hot apple crisp, or other baking. I suppose 'Froot Loops' don't count. My eldest referred to them as 'Fruity Hoops' when she was younger. What's with fruit leather? Do people really like it? Oh, and don't get me started on fruit peel, you know, that yucky excuse that persons try to hide in fruit cakes, and hot-cross buns. Is it made from wax? Anyway, here is my modest fruit list: Number One- orange, Number Two-Macintosh apple, Number Three- banana, Number Four-pineapple, ( especially atop pizza!), Number Five- mango...a newly acquired taste for me ,and featured in a great movie about a talking bird who lived with many different people, "Pauly'..., Number Six- strawberry only if not in jam, I hate jam, Number Seven- peach... All other fruits are icky! |
