I love fruit. My whole life I've eaten a minimum of 1 Granny Smith apple (the rest are too sweet for my liking). I've also eaten loads of kiwis, mangos, and seedless navel oranges). If I see something I don't recognize, it usually winds up in my grocery carts. I remember a peculiar fruit, with a sticker on it that said UGLI, though I don't know if that was the company or the fruit. It was ugly, though. Tasted like an orange, only sweeter. Simply amazing. The best fruit ever. Shame I can't find them anynmore.On my last trip to the grocery store, I wound up with a plumcot (plum+apricot), green plum, a mango combined with a nectarine, and a nectarine combined with a honeydew melon. They were all yummy, though I haven't tried the honeydew nectarine yet. I've also had grapefruits bigger than my head (way too sour) and something that was pointy and orange, as well as starfruit (mmmm)

Do you want fruit right now?
Edit: I found the Ugli fruit's website. Turns out it's both the name of the company and the fruit.

- Ever try a weird fruit?
Yup. I live for it! I want to try even more new, bizarre fruits!
Ever want to, but chicken out?
No. I never chicken out when it comes to trying new foods. xD
What's the best exotic fruit you've ever had?
I'm not quite sure what it's called.. but I really like those orange tomatoes. They're so sweet and mmm~
Anyone knows what they're called?
The worst?
An Avocado I guess. Those things are just.. ewww...
Do you want fruit right now?
Yes. I'm always craving for fruit. x3 I love it!
I'm especially fond of apples. Seriously, my mouth is watering now. xD

Ever try a weird fruit?
Does a pomegranate count?
Ever want to, but chicken out?
On some of them, yes. D:
What's the best exotic fruit you've ever had?
I can't remember what it's called but it was served to me in Hawaii.
The worst?
Grapefruit; talk about yuck. :/
Do you want fruit right now?
Always! I love fruit and I wish my Dad would buy it and put it in a place where people in the family can see/remember it in stead of putting it all in the worst place. D:

Username Censored-Those are good. I don't know the name, though. Orange bell peppers are yummy, too. I like avacados, but only in guacamole or sushi. Not plain.
Chuchila-Pomegranates are yummy. I used to take an already disassembled one for lunch, but once people grew bored of teasing me I needed something else. My dad also puts fruit in the worst places. My apples and ripe oranges go in the bottom of the bottom drawer, and his nasty mangoes (seriously, the ones we get around here are crap) and over-ripe oranges go on top. Bleh.

Ever try a weird fruit?
I had starfruit once when I was little. It was so yummy! But I haven't seen them since....o__o
Ever want to, but chicken out?
Kinda....I was afraid to try lychee flavored candy...if that counts. Never actually saw a real lychee either...but I'd probably fear it some.
What's the best exotic fruit you've ever had?
Starfruit!
The worst?
Does coconut count? I had fresh coconut once and it was gross!;_; I was mislead by all the yummy shredded sweetened stuff I'd had before.
Do you want fruit right now?
No, I want chicken. O_o; Weirdness.

- I think the orange tomato is a persimmon. I mean, I think that's what you're talking about.
I totally love persimmons. And banana.
I've never been freaked off, (Srsly, it's fruit :D I'm not scared of you!) but the worst ones must be grapefruits or oranges. I don't like them.
Would definitely like something fresh now, black chocolate has made my mouth feel bitter Bx

Was that spiky orange one called a kiwani melon? Because my friends and I just tried one of those XP It's all swirly yellow and orange on the outside, green goopy stuff with tons of seeds on the inside. We ate it straight, on crackers, mixed it with water, and froze it (we're weird) and it didn't tsate that great any way. XD Microwaving it was fun, though. I don't really know what the weirdest fruit I've ever had is, because I don't know what fruits are considered weird everywhere. And is cactus a fruit or a vegetable?

Ever try a weird fruit? Sure...it was called a pummelo (sp?)
Ever want to, but chicken out? Nah.
What's the best exotic fruit you've ever had? I like pomegranates, coconuts, kiwi's and starfruit.
The worst? None as of yet so far.
Do you want fruit right now? Kind of - but I always want fruit. :lol:

LennaHime-Yes, starfruit are yummeh. I've never had fresh coconut without it being mixed into a dish of some sort, but coconut milk is disgusting.
Varicose-That's my opinion as well...but some people don't like new things, as last year I scared the hell out of a 5th grader with my lunch (it was California rolls and some fruit...I think starfruit...not that weird, IMO). Yeah, I'm not too popular...is green yogurt really that bad? It's lime flavor!
elanifave-Yeah it was, I think. I know it was exactly what you described, and didn't taste that good.
kin no megami-Pomelo? I just googled it and it asked me if I meant that. Anyway, it looks like the giant grapefruit thing I ate once. Did it taste like that?

- I've eaten a lot of different fruits. I mean, I know people who haven't even heard of or tried most of the stuff I've eaten. XD Starfruit, tangerines, lychee, Asian pear, papaya, Concord grape (I think...that's what they're called, the skin peels off when you bite into it XD), Korean melon (I see it's called "dua gan" on some sites...I only know the Korean name for it ^^; ) and persimmons are just a few.
The worst one I have ever tried was durian. It smells so bad. :( One of my cousin's wives likes it, because she grew up eating it.
I don't like pomelo either. My mom and grandma love it. >_<;;

I'm not that big on fruit really. I eat it if I'm forced to, but if there's no one around to say "Eat Fruit NOW!" ... I'll happily live without it.
There are a few I like though, Mangos, Mangusteens and Rambutans are pretty much the only ones I like.
I've always wanted to try a Dragon Fruit.

They just look funky, but they're really pricey here and I probably wouldn't like it and it would be a waste of money >.<
I chickened out of trying Durian when I lived in Indonesia. If it smells like a cross between rotten eggs and vomit, I'm sure it's not supposed to be digested... even if lots of people say it's nice x.x
Best I've tasted would be Mangosteen, they're lovely, but hard to find nice ones in England ._.

Worst would be star fruit. I thought something that looked pretty and star like should taste pleasant, not horribly sour o_0

Torikat-I've had 3 of them (2 if a Tangelo (tangerine+grapefruit) doesn't count as a tangerine). I've heard a lot about durians smelling gross, but I still want to try one.
Ebil-I've had dragon fruit flavored drinks and such, and I really want to try one. They're pretty as well.
I'm eating a honeydew nectarine thing right now. It's yummy!

- I am so surprised when people tell me they have never eaten tangerines/Mandarin oranges or clementines...I always thought they were a common thing to eat like oranges. ^^;
Tangelos are hybrids...so they're just cousins of tangerines. ^^

ToriKat-It surprises me as well. Clementines are very common here, but that's about it.

Down here we've found starfruit and Dragonfruit.
Dragonfruits, while pretty (Vibrant red and spikey, with grey flesh + black speckley seeds), taste pretty... ick. Like, a watered down kiwi. o_o;
Starfruits are a vibrant yellow, and spikey, with vibrant green flesh.
You know how a cucumber has its seeds surrounded by its flesh?
Thats how Starfruits are.
Theyre delicious. :3
And, while pretty well known, Pomengranites are awesome as well.

I kinda like passionfruit... it's really strange though.
I hate cantaloupe. And most melons, actually.
I like most sour fruits, so long as they're juicy.
Other than that... I haven't really tried most strange fruits. I like pomegranates.
But my favorite fruit is strawberry. <3

Ever try a weird fruit?
I'm always willing to try new fruits
Ever want to, but chicken out?
no, i try when i want to
What's the best exotic fruit you've ever had?
probably jackfruit...though i dunno if that's considered exotic, but in all honesty my favourite fruits are mangoes
The worst?
I don't know the english name for it but in Chinese it's called 'fan si liu' it looks like a wrinkly apple or pear and inside it is dry and filled with seeds throughout. ><
Do you want fruit right now?
yes

Salak?
I tried one once, and it was kind of banana-ish o_0
I prefer bananas though.
