CANTALOUPE IS TRASH

[Kalahari Inkantation]

green grapes

disapproved; neither as firm nor as flavorful as their red counterparts

i mean, green grapes can definitely be really firm. depends on the time of year, the brand, and thus the farm they came from. i try to only buy them if they're on sale and they're nice and firm and adequately tart (definitely not into green grapes for sweetness)

btw, i've found that for sweet grapes, black ones are actually better than red

it's possible i've never had a good green grape in my life

they're always too sweet and too limp

same with black ones tbh

i find that the red ones are the only ones that have a healthy mix of firmness/sweetness/tartness

[??????]

ive had it with you
I like blackberries

chirimoya

the red ones are just sweet to me almost no tartness

Tbh growing up I had the opposite problem where the red grapes were always flaccid and squishy while the green were firm. Idk how that divide happened between PA and NY

it probably doesn't help that we're using extremely vague color descriptors like "red" and "green" when each color is probably represented by dozens of different cultivars, each with their own unique properties lol

as for the cultivars commonly available in my area, whichever one it is that happens to be reddish tends to be the best

grapes can Fuck Off too

fuck off cantaloupe haters

honeydew is trash tho

[Mando Pandango]

[Samus Aran]

rainier cherries

shit yeah these rule, i forgot about them. and cherries in general. both these and bing cherries are really good imo

btw has anyone else here tried those cotton candy grapes? so good, but a taste i would not have anticipated a grape to have

Strawberries from local places not the giant bland ones in grocery stores

HIGHLY approved

Watermelon

disapproved

Clementines

Mandarins

Limes (as flavor)

LYCHEE
plums

i feel like lychees have potential but the only ones i've ever had were lacking in tartness :'(

plums are generally approved

Grapefruit is a garbage food for garbage boys. Everyone who has it on their list is no longer eligible for friendship by me.

I suppose I will have to amend my best boyager nomination

Cantaloupe and Honeydew are the true garbage fruits. They are the packing peanuts of a fruit salad

QUOTE FOR TRUTH right here

bans will shortly be issued for every participant in this comment chain

Yknow it's weird I had two new York roommates in college and neither of them had had blackberries either
