Tell us we might know

It starts with an L, and it makes the finest ice cream in the world

That's all I'm going to say about it.

Does Cherry Coke count as a fruit?

I like about everything except for processed cherries (I only like fresh cherries) and mangos (they taste like carrots to me). I eat limes straight. I gulp down blueberries (we have a few rows of bushes at my mom's house). I scarf watermelon down like a champion Southerner. I would say something about bananas, but you're all a bunch of perverts.

And something else no one has mentioned...one of the things I love about fall is ripe muscadines. There are lots of wild vines and they fall to the ground in large piles (well, maybe not piles) but that's okay because I don't eat the skin and just squeeze out the tart sweet wild fruit.

The only fresh fruits I eat right now are apples, but I drink a lot of fruit juice, especially apple, orange, grape and cranberry.

Never heard of 'em.

Bring me the nectarines of Alfredo Garcia! Especially when they arent quite ripe, and have a lot of firmness without disintegrating all over the place.

Are olives fruit? I can never remember. If they are, bring me a bucket of chilli smothered green olives, firm, not mulchy.

Lychees don't taste bad, but i can't stop thinknig about testicles when I eat them, their texture is exactly how I imagine testicle meat would feel.

Personally, I love oranges and their variants (THE BLOOD OF MY BROTHERS! NOOOOOOOO!) most of all, then stuff like apples, grapes, kiwi fruits (i'm one of the sickoes that eats them with the fur still on), not too fond of bananas, thoguh I can eat them unlike a friend of mine. Cherries have never interested me that much, strawberries, blueberries, cranberries and strawberries i love intensely.

Love: Blueberries! strawberries, peaches, grapes(addicted to raisins as a child), apples, kiwi
Like:oranges, tangerines, peaches, pears, apricots, mangoes
Meh:bananas, raspberries, cranberries
Eww:grapefruit, starfruit

I cannot stand warm fruit. I don't know why, something about it just disgusts me. This applies to fruit pies too, unless they are a la mode...

Lucky you.

No, they're a small fruit about the size of a ping-pong ball that grow on several of the Pacific Islands (famously, Hawaii). They've often been turned into ice creams and frozen yogurts, but why anyone would ruin perfectly good ice cream with them is beyond me.

Actually, I prefer my fruit room temperature.

And I'd forgotten to add plums to my list. I like plums, too.
