Well I checked and there doesn't seem to be any active threads with this topic. So here it goes.
Anyways, I was eating some sliced green mango with lime, salt, and some other stuff. And I got the idea to make this thread. To talk about fruits you all love and hate. Different recipes that include fruits such as shakes or foods.
I love fruits; daily I will have at least 3 different types, in different ways. I'm also always making some crazy stuff in the blender.. xD
Btw green mango is a bit sour, and it's usually eaten in south and central america (Not sure if anywhere else). I love it. There is also ripe mango, they are a bit bigger but I usually prefer green since the ripe ones are kind of sweet.
I like apples, and the asian pears my mom picks up downtown. Bananas are okay, and I had starfruit once apparently but don't remember it. I've also had dragonfruit and coconut, they both tasted like soap. I absolutely hate blueberries and mangoes, they're nasty and slimy. YAy, fruit.
I am not a fan of fruits but occasionally I like to eat a mango(of pakistani origin, no other), kiwi, mandarin, gauva(not the ripe one), coconut, carrots, peaches, apricots, , I wrote them all because these are the only fruits I eat, other then these, my diet is strictly meat and grains.
Blueberries are my favorite. I mean fresh wild blueberries. I used to pick them when I was 7,8, and 9yo with my dad, mom,uncle,grandpa,grandma,cousins, etc.
My uncle would setup a camp with tents, and store and we all picked blueberries off the bushes using a special tool. It's a rectangular box with a long brushes made off aluminum teeth (10cm long) that we called a comb. Once it was full, we dumped the berries in a tall bucket. We filled about 12 to 15 and brought them to the camp where we stored them in a square crate and a truck came every week and loaded them for grocery stores and bakeries, etc.
I have great memories and believe me, a blueberry picked from a bush and one bought at the store taste totally different. A fresh one taste sour and sweet and is crunchy. YUM!!!!
Sour, just curious, but do you eat the entire lime, peel and all? :P
I'd say my favorite is the plain ol' banana, but recently I've been getting into acai, as well as some other things. My favorite is this place called Tropical Smoothie Cafe. Great smoothies, though a tad pricey, but at least I know they're just fruit and ice going in. Been in the back with some of my friends. Great stuff, as well as their non-smoothie stuff. All in all a healthy place to eat, satisfying my need for fruits
I would say that my previously mentioned favorite is probably so due to me being too lazy to get a sufficient amount of potassium elsewhere, besides bananas just tasting good :P
