Hi, friends!
My brain is tapped out for interesting things to talk about this week.
So, what fruit do you think is the absolute worst?
Supermarket honeydew melon is complete shit.

I don’t know about worst, but star fruit is pretty useless.
Actual fresh ripe starfruit is enjoyable!
There can be only one answer
Agreeing with Shaq, Durian would have to be one…. (unless the objective is to have people check uselessly for a Natural Gas leak, of course!!! *Then* Durian is THE BEST fruit to use!😉😁💖
Dragonfruit would be the second-most useless fruit, because as faaaaar as i can tell, it simply tastes of “seedy nothingness”
It’s basically just “crunchy-bits-to-get-stuck-in-your-teeth” with *no* discernable flavor, except *mildly* sweet blandness”
Basically, like if someone *thought* about the banana going to mush in their child’s backpack, as they stood within a block of some soaked children seeds.
It’s the La Croix Water of fruits.
Dragonfruit for most of the US just reminds me that we’re not far removed from 18th century idiot British rich people who would pay to have a pineapple at their parties because the appearance was so exotic.
Totally agree on honeydews. Complete garbage.
My entry for worst fruit is the kumquat. It’s an orange the size of a grape tomato that you can only eat whole. Fuck that shit.
I don’t mind Honeydew, but I can see why most folks like Beaker more.
As for the fruit, I don’t mind honeydew but I can see why.
Pears can be tasteless, especially the Bartlett pears. I prefer the Asian pear. Crunchy and sweet with a unique taste.
Pears make the inside of my mouth feel fuzzy so I don’t eat them. But agreed, bland as fuck unless Asian pears.
I grew up with a pear tree in our back yard. I’m not sure what kind it was, but I’m guessing it was Bartlett. That thing grew the most luscious and flavorful pears I ever had in my entire life. They were soft without being mushy, and so juicy that shit would soak my shirt whenever I bit into one.
Then one day a storm rolled through and a lightning strike literally split the tree in half. It was totally scorched and one side of it had curled from the heat. I mourned that tree because all we had left was the apple tree which grew those fucking awful Red Delicious apples. Which, come on, how the hell was that the standard apple for so many years? Even grown right there on our farm, those things were flavorless garbage.
Pomegranate seeds are annoying. I never get why people put them on other food.
Pumpkins…because halloween is lame. The seeds are good baked with some oil though.
I had a Thai pumpkin curry at a restaurant recently that was amazing! Yeah, mostly because of spices & coconut milk but way better than some other options.
I’ve had Afghan pumpkin dumplings which were good, also because the spice combo was right. Sort of between Middle Eastern and Indian, and not at all sweet.
Pumpkinseed mole is amazing.
I’ve had curries thickened with canned pumpkin that were really good!
I don’t try to cook pumpkin though, I stick to other squashes.
I think the problem most of you are experiencing is that the fruit in question don’t travel well or aren’t picked at prime ripeness. With the exception of durian whose pungentness takes days to leave your system. But I steer clear of mocking it because it is very much a delicacy in some cultures.
We have fig trees in our backyard, and figs right off the branch at the end of summer are amazing.
The figs you buy in stores? Forget about it.
grapefruit
tho admittedly…i need to do a retest on this with my new adult taste buds
childhood trauma…barely edible when not covered in a mountain of sugar
