I hate the stringy bits on the sides of bananas. I was unwisely told as a child (not by my family), the bits would make me ill^. I know better now but, still* have* to remove them.

Hate peeling oranges, though cope with young easy peelers.

Love raspberries, their colour and taste and their versatility. I include
them in both savoury dishes and desserts. smile Do you? Any
raspberry recipes you'd care to share?

What fruit is the healthiest, in your opinion? Blueberries now seem to have been debunked. Strawberries now are said to have higher antioxidants grin. Yet dentists warn about eating too much fruitsad

What are your love and hates and why? Any funny anecdotes?

Thank you for reading this smile

Raspberries and mangoes. but probably not together.
Strawberries doused in a little maple syrups taste extra speacial.

Mangos, just ripe bananas and dried apricots work very well together, the flavours to complement each other.

Nectarines and dark cherries in season. Figs fresh off a tree in Greece, they dont taste as good after just a few hours in a shop.

I just noticed that Indinana has made exactly the same point about figs in Greece!

Melon is slightly sweet and wet. It does nothing for me at all.

Passion fruit makes me think of cat pee and/or a particular garden shrub I can't remember the name of right now.
