Being from FL, I’m a snob about FL oranges. Particularly navels and blood varieties. California oranges can fuck right off.
Lucy glo apples are one of the only apples I'll eat. So good, they're visually fun, and at least the stand I get them from they're always very crisp
Prince William Pears. They're so sweet and juicy!! So juicy it always dribbles down my chin when I take a bite.
Chuoi cau bananas (monkey banana) from Vietnam. It didn't really matter what type I had over there, they beat any banana I'd had thru my entire life.
Ambrosia apples (the big ripe ones, not the small ones that I could swear are counterfeit Gala).
Ataulfo mangoes. Yellow. Small. Delicious.
Spanish mandarin oranges. Easy to peel, delicious. Other oranges can't hold shade to this one.
Forelle pears. Fragrant, juicy... Bartlett pears will seem like cardboard after having these.
Sungold kiwi. Not only are they sweet, but the skin is thinner and has no hairs, so you can just wash them and eat them whole.
Golden delicious apples. I don't even consider others, although tbf, their taste does vary a little, depending on where I bought them.
As a former Golden delicious stan, may I suggest trying honey crisp? Now there are two apples I prefer and I get a little variety

Thomcord grapes (Thompson x Concord hybrid) are amazing. They taste like grape jelly if grape jelly wasn’t sickly sweet. They’ve also got a mild tart bite to them that I love. I can never find them anywhere most of the time but I always snatch one up when I see it.
Green apples.
Red kiwi, they taste better.
Largish yellow raisins. I like them in oatmeal cookies and with mixed nuts cooked in a nice long grain rice with some saffron.
Acorn Squash, 1 hour at 400f, split oiled with a bit of brown sugar in them

Fuji apples

Pink Lady apples. Perfect balance of sweet and tart for me.
Oh yeah, although the kanzi apples can be better sometimes.
Never heard of those. "a cross between a Gala and a Braeburn" sounds fantastic. Just got to find one now.
Came here to say this! Beautifully crisp too. I hate most red apples for how soft they can be and how grainy they can feel sometimes. Maybe I've had ones at the wrong side of ripe, but pink ladies are the perfect hybrid of green and red. I used to love Macintoshes for this but pink ladies are much better
Oh man yeah, didn't even think about the texture. Gonna go get one at lunch time now.
A few years ago, I was in Asia for the first time. On a ship in Malaysia, to be specific. I was chitchatting with a Malaysian coworker before our shift started, and on our way out I grabbed a nice looking fruit on my way out of the galley. I took a bite, and it was like nothing I'd ever tasted before, so of course I had to ask what kind of fruit it was.
"Uh.... a pear?" My coworker replied, surprised that I had to ask. To me pears are green, and has a completely different texture. I never knew yellow ones existed until then.
Not many. I don't like the fructosey sweet flavour of most fruit. So I love tomatoes, but not much else...
Maybe this thread will help me :)
