Can we all agree that honeydew is at the bottom of the barrel? It’s always the last to go in the fruit salad and for good reason!

Honeydew is better than cantaloupe, and easier to spell.

I agree, orange is undesirable. A small step up from honeydew.

The juice, however, is delicious.

Cantaloupe! For sure.

Note that I am not a big fan of the cantaloupe. It is not one of the better fruits. But it is head-and-shoulders above honeydew.

I think I see fruit flies starting to gather just from talking about honeydew. Never mind, that’s just my proximity to the Zivity office.

I think this question would be better phrased if it were considering fresh, prime, perfectly ripened fruit. Totally different than say, tomatoes in Maine in late October (uck). Once a fruit has been chilled before fully allowed to ripen, it’s a total loss for me. But then I’ve had the advantage of living my life where great fruits are grown, California and Hawaii. There is nothing to compare to pineapple in Hawaii, or honeydew (yes, honeydew) right out of the field. The problem with most honeydew is that it isn’t fully ready and people don’t know where to stop cutting it and you get the absolutely tasteless part next to the rind.

Strawberries should have no white on them, inside or out. Another problem is that stores pre-select the fruit for you and so you are forced to buy a basket of green, white and moldy strawberries, all in the same lot. You used to be able to pick them out one by one. I won’t buy cherries unless I can pick them out individually, only my local fruit stand lets me do that.

Top of my list is papaya with lime, fresh from the tree in the tropics. I’ll have to think about the rest.

@RichardHenry: The same thing happens to me when I eat apples. I think it is the pesticides that have remained on the skin. When I wash my apples with soap and water the reaction is not quite as bad. You could also try peeling the skin.

avocado (my favorite), “buko” young coconut, papaya—i love these 3 with milk and sugar!
pineapple, pomelo, ponkan oranges, papaya with local “kalamansi”—for my fiber needs!

ripe mango—my 3rd favorite after avocado and “buko”!

i am not fun with fruits, that after eating its pulp, you have to spill out its seeds..

nephrons (90

Fruits I love, but rarely eat: dates, guava, mango, pineapple, grapefruit (Texas red is best).

Fruits I eat routinely (and still love): avocados, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, oranges (Florida navels, never California), local strawberries (Florida, again), red or black seedless grapes, green seedless grapes, cherries.

As far as I am concerned, the entire melon family including its veggie cousin the cuke can all fall off the planet or rot on the vine. Yuck! I cannot even stand the smell. My family thinks I must have been a genetic aberration for this viewpoint.

…so i’m guessing a “fruitrank” is a list of your favorite fruits in order?

It’s a neologism for the ranking of your fruit preferences.

I like honeydew – orange flesh honeydew! http://www.slashfood.com/2006/07/30/orange-flesh-honeydew/

It’s really good with a Rhone wine reduction with sugar & thyme. I get it in San Francisco at the Mexican fruit stalls or at BiRite.
