I've had most everything listed above, but am fortunate to have lived in South East Asia where there is an abundance of amazing fruit. My favorite fruit, I have not been able to find in the U.S. It's called <a href="http://therunoff.com/post/96736208/guyabano-the-best-fruit-known-to-mankind-sweet" rel="nofollow">Guyabano</a>. It's sweet and sour and really can't be adequately described in words. Mangos and rambutan get honorable mention here. They were my two other favorites while in the Philippines. Others I've tried: durian, guava, jack fruit, calamansi (very small lime), papaya and coconut. I love fruit and don’t ever eat it enough.

I'll have to give these a try. I have had persimmions, loquats and tomatillos (i think it's a fruit) which are not listed. I have a hard time having just 1 favorite, so I have to say it's actually 3 favorites that all tie. Grapefruit, clemintines and white seedless grapes...yum!

I think I've never had a clementine, but I've had a few other fruits you've left out: Papaya Guava Starfruit Dragonfruit Passionfruit Apricot Cherry Kumquat (had to know what it tastes like) Pluot Coconut (fruit?!) Olive Lychee (in a martini) Blueberry Mulberry Fig Avocado (fruit?!) And if you count nuts as fruits, there's plenty more. My favorite? The pluot, when it's in season. When its not, I seem to be able to get mangos whenever I want. That’s a good list.

I've stayed away from fruits for a long time because of this, but just recently, I've been trying to start eating more fruits.

My dad is Thai and he used to bring it home from the Asian market every so often. Longan has a thin shell that you peel off to reveal a grape-like fruit with a seed in the middle. They look and feel like eyeballs...pretty cool when your a kid. They have a grape-like taste too just not as sweet. If you ever hit up an Asian mart ask if they have some. They're pretty good.
