I'm very keen on plums at the moment, although they're one of those roulette fruits - like oranges - where you never know if you're going to get the sweetest, juiciest plum you ever tasted or a viciously sharp bastard of a plum which will make you wince in pain, or a watery mush of a plum which makes you want to throw it at a passing politician, or any kind of flavour/texture plum in between.
I think that's one of the fetish attractions of plums really, their hot tempered unpredictability.
Do any other fruit eaters find that fruit is at least as addictive as caffeine or nicotine, by-the-way? I find that once I start eating more than about five fruits a day I really get to craving the bloody stuff. I'd have thought it would be more natural to crave fruit if you didn't eat it regularly, it being a natural requirement (I think).

I also like mandarins and clementines. I've developed a special peeling technique that produces a one-piece peel in the shape of a crudely drawn cock and balls. It's quite something. The 'balls' have real 3D roundness, and if you preserve the pith, it's even possible to add a stream of 'jism'.

Cherry, you've put tomatoes in the wrong place.

lol, imagine ralph, with his big paws burrowing into a watermelon, throwing mashed slops into his mouth like Pooh bear gone feral. Angrily glaring up as David Bellamy's crew startle him with a loud shutter click.

I'm not sure about peaches being at the top right there either. They can make a terrible mess. I presume we're talking about "easy to eat at your desk without having to go and immediately wash all the stickiness off" here?

wft? don't you have knives in the UK? Since when did cutting into a piece of fruit with a fucking knife become difficult?

Yes, well, tell him he's not as talented as he thinks he is.

Seeded grapes aren't marginally more tasty than seedless grapes, either, they're much of a muchness. Let's butn Cherry for being wrong.

Fuck me backaways. That's clearly a chart for eating fruit with your fingers, ralph. Oh, and in case you missed it, the Y access indicates perceived 'yummyness' Trust you to maanage to actually warp comedy until it's lol-ratio is inverted.

Peaches are horrible. And they have a honking great stone in the centre.
My favourite fruit is a Granny Smith apple. There is literally no greater fruit on earth.
Although I don't much like eating oranges because I think they're a little too far down the difficult end of the scale, I do have massive cravings for pure OJ, what with it being the drink of the Gods and all.

Our lovely American stores take all the difficulty out of eating fresh fruit of any kind as they cut them up into bite-sized bits and sell them in portion-sized plastic containers. I especially like to buy pineapple this way.*
*though my favorite fruits are asian pears and blueberries, which aren't difficult to eat anyway.

There's a little park just round the corner from my house which is ringed with cherry trees. When I was a kid, me and my friends would pick the ripe cherries and eat them right off the tree. Then we spat the seeds at each other.

Well, there are differences, obviously, or else cherries would be called "dwarf plums" or "spring plums" or something, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that they're "nothing like" each other.
Stone in middle? Check. Smooth skin? Check. Can be sweet or a bit sour? Check. "Fleshy" kind of flesh? Check. Come in shades of red and yellow? Check.
They've probably got more in common than any other two fruits. That I can think of. Without actually spending any time thinking.
Cherries taste different from plums, a bit, but I'd still argue that the texture is the same. Or it would be, if you could actually bite into a big piece of cherry, which you can't due to their size handicap.
