I love perfectly ripe strawberries, freshly picked and eaten in the warmth of the sunshine.
Blackberries and red/black grapes. Sloe berries for gin, cherries eaten whilst basking in postcoital glow.
Mango, passionfruit, guava, pineapple and coconut.
Plums/apples from my grandparents.
I was called a fruit bat as a child.  |

"Water melon above all. But a nice plate of melon, water melon, nectarine, peach, mango, papaya, few grapes, a couple of strawberries and a handful of loquats will do me. Thank you.  "

Not easy to get, usually in continental, asian, chinese fruit stores. The are little yellow things you peel and eat the flesh. Delicious when properly ripe.  |

"Love fresh strawberries…. Crack a little black pepper on them, trust me on this
And a drizzle of balsamic vinegar as well!!
I was going to say this but I thought it would scare them away "
I just know Mr. will want to try this when I tell him!
Back to the OP:
My favourites are nectarine, kiwi, and grapes. Pears and strawberries, too (but they have to be just-so) |

Dragon fruit.
Like a fluorescent purple colour 💜, like this heart, when you cut into them..very other worldly looking and very refreshing tasting.
They grow on a particular type of cactus apparently. |

I love papaya. So nice and so good for you. Supermarkets used to carry the tiny ones but haven’t seen them lately.
Strawberries, blueberries, and of course the odd sweet banana.
I adore fried sweet plantain but have put on over a stone in weight since December so need to address that. 🥲
I like watermelon but not the ones imported to here. I like proper, massive, red, juicy watermelons! 😋 🍉
Dragonfruit (Pitahaya) is native to Mexico but oddly enough we don’t eat it there. We eat tunas- prickly pears. 😄 |

Yes..
I looked into trying to grow dragon fruit here... don't think there's any chance in this climate  |

Apples … making cider this year ought to be a great, the crop is looking good so far plus no frost and early pollinators, - the dryness increases sugar = increase the natural alcohol levels …. Ummm
Could be a vintage ! Good threat OP |

"Love the strawberries! Got a few plants on the go and some from seed are sprouting.
Oh I wish I could grow strawberries and tomatoes "
Aren't tomatoes easyish?
Ive got tomato plant growing that's about a metre, from seed.. started 2 months ago.
(Potato and tomato I find are the easiest..) |

I really love a fat, ripe, juicy peach.
Sweet cherries that pop in your mouth are also lovely.
For crunch, a crisp Granny Smith.
When I'm ill or thirsty I desire a sharp orange.
Pineapple is nice on pizza too |

Very similar list, but while I like a banana 🍌, I'd swap it for cherries 🍒 and/or watermelon 🍉
Honourable mention for kiwi 🥝 (including skin) |
