Hell yeah. Ever since I was a kid, yellow peaches have been one of the best foods I’ve ever eaten.
Peaches from Washington state are incredible. I say this as a Georgian.
Palisade Peaches. If you know, you know
Have you ever heard of a champagne mango? My wife and I had them when we toured a farm in Hawaii where their goal wasn’t actually to grow / sell fruit, but to replenish the nutrients in the soil that were wrecked by sugar cane plantations. Anyway, the guy pulls these mangoes straight off the tree and tells us they’re really fibrous so you can’t eat them like a regular mango, but you can mash it up in the skin then drink it like a juice box. He tossed me the one he was mashing up as a demo while explaining all this then told me to bite the top off and drink. As soon as my teeth broke the skin, juice started gushing out onto my shoes and the ground. The juice from that mango is easily like top 3 things I’ve ever eaten. Both the amount of flavor and the amount of juice that came from it were unbelievable.
I want this 😳
Almost all of them.
I know we’re in the minority here, but I agree. Mango is gross.
I am a Mexican person that doesn’t like mangoes. You can’t even imagine the judgement.
There are many varieties of mangoes, my friend.
I’ve not had any that I like.
Literally all of them.

You are blinded by Big Mango! Cast aside your grassy not-quite-orange tasting fruit and join us where things are delicious without being an acquired taste!
Where I live, we can get good mangoes, so they may win. But a good watermelon is my favorite fruit, and the occasional perfectly ripe apricot or peach I have tasted were both better than mango, they are just never ripe in the shops here, picked too early I think so they go straight from underripe and hard as rocks to mealy and unpleasant.
You can’t beat a good watermelon, but 75% of the watermelons I’ve had weren’t a good one, so they can be a bit of a gamble.
Same with honeydew. Once you have a perfect one, 90% are so disappointing. But that perfect one… Oh my!
Yes a good honeydew melon earns its name! If you can smell them in the store they are usually good. Same with cantaloupe. If you can’t smell it don’t buy it.
Some decades ago I bought Afghan watermelon seeds on a whim, wondering if it was notably different. Only 5 plants grew and only one viable fruit was produced. It was so unreasonably good and I had never previously enjoyed watermelon.
Cantaloupe - when it’s not pre-cut with a possibility of salmonella
Ah, cantaloupe – the “packing peanuts” of any fruit salad
No, that would be apples.
Brave post of the month right here. Idk a fruit that’s hated more than cantaloupe besides durian.
Mangosteens. They are the Best Fruit.
The ones you get here in Australia are golfball-sized and horribly expensive, but when I went to singapore they were huge and cheap.
Isn’t the fruit to seed ratio bad?
Not really but the answer is it depends on your luck. There are ‘slices’ that have no seed and some with seeds that are 80% of the ‘slice’.
I’ve never heard of those. They look just like the bombs from 64-era Zelda.

Pawpaws
I have a few trees. Can’t wait til they start bearing fruit!
P.S. Assuming you’re talking about this and not papaya:
Same! I planted a lot of seeds around my yard thinking they’d somehow be hard to grow, and every single one of them germinated. I think I have like sixteen saplings (three of them are Peterson ones that we bought from a grafter).
Papaya still tastes like vomit to me, and just flat and sweet not balanced. I can’t imagine anyone arguing that it’s better than mango. Have not tried pawpaw yet.
Amen!
Perfectly ripe peaches (and other stonefruit)
Banana
Nothing. A mango is literally heaven. So juicy.
Team strawberry
A good kaki Edit: sorry, persimmons they are called in english i think
Manstays
Apples. Locally grown, not flown across half the globe. And they come in all kinds of different flavors, some more sweet, some more sour, some mild.
True for most unless you have a mango tree growing in your yard. Then you have more mangos than you know what to do with. Kangaroos, cattle and horses like eating them though.
I don’t think a mango tree would copy with the climate here. And there is a severe lack of Kangaroos around this place, maybe except for a bunch in the zoo…
