Are you....?

A clementine or a satsuma, a tangerine or a mandarin?

I am for either of the last two, when they are available, and a satsuma at a push, but I am not keen on clementines - too sweet for me.

I am also not a fan of blueberries, will reluctantly eat cranberries, but will easily clear a bucket full of blackcurrants. :shock:

And do not get me started on those blobs of red mush known as raspberries and strawberries, not when there are cherries about. :D

Anyone else have their favourites or hates?

Don't care as long as they're easy peelers! :mrgreen:

None of the above, to be honest. :) Cherries at a pinch, but prefer them glace ;)

I can't eat citrus any more, but if I still could definitely a satsuma - delish!. :D

I love raspberries and cranberries. Love strawberries but they hate me - I'm allergic :roll: :cute: :lol:

Raspberries are fab on porridge!!! I also keep a stock of meringue nests in and sometimes make an Eton Mess for dessert 8-) 8-)

And as Ossie says, anything that peels easiest!! Although in general, the only fruit we get are bananas.....and even they get over ripe occasionally!! :roll: :lol:

All four, although Clementines are my least favourite I suppose but I wouldn’t turn one down if offered.

Not keen on blueberries (although, again, I’d eat them if they’re there but LOVE bilberries. Walks take so much longer in the Summer because I can never resist stopping if I see bilberries, there are loads of bushes on the common but unfortunately there are two ladies who pick many of them bare every year. I’ve seen the with their Tupperware containers full, they say that they freeze them for pies throughout the year.

I could happily live on strawberries. And mango. I love mango.

The only fruit I really dislike and don’t eat is kiwi fruit.

We go through a lot in our house.

Forgot to mention, Mick eats raspberries (or strawberries) and blueberries on his porridge every morning :) Sometimes banana. I like banana on my branflakes 8-)

Branflakes! Now there's a hate. Chopped cardboard.

I am a bit traditional with cereals - cornflakes, weetabix and porridge are in my comfort zone and they are about as far as things go.

Jo, we used to go on the Chevin with the kids and MiL for bilberries. She had a comb thing and used to get tons of the things - absolutely gorgeous - and you get purple children thrown in. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Not a lover of any of them. Can't eat any sort of pith, peel, any more and strawberries are just too full of water, so also no good.

Banana in natural yogurt is as much as I can do now.

I'm not keen on blueberries, blackcurrants, blackberries but I do love raspberries. I think my favourite fruits are pears, plum and peaches/nectarines

I like all fruit - some more than others, but I'd eat everything. I'm sitting here thinking and am hard pushed to name a fruit I really dislike
