How do you rate your citrus/ other fruits?

Since being new to citrus( about 9 years ), I am starting to develop a strong taste for mandarins. Fruits of all kinds that I grow are being tested by the amounts i like to eat daily, mandarins comes in first etc.
Lemons a distant 5 and limes ? I don’t grow them, no use for, not even Key/lime pie during my several stays in Key West. My neighbors and friends like my Meyers from my 2 trees, it does work well with fish dishes. I live on the lake and fish are easy to catch. I grow lots of figs, pluots, peaches,pears and a few others.

Kumquats, grapefruit, pummelo, blood oranges, are all good fresh eating citrus if you ever tire of mandarins. I’m getting rid of all of my excess lemons and limes this year, I agree you can only use so much.
I also have a fairly large temperate fruit orchard. It’s hard to say what is the best, I could eat each type until I am sick.
And I’ve started growing no-maintenance berries and figs in the woods because why not

Of the trees that I have, I rate them in order: Grapefruit, Valentine pummelo, Cara Cara navel, Dekopon,, New Zealand Lemonade, Ponkan all of which are in ground trees. The rest (lemon varieties, mandarins, kumquats, ) fall into the OK class.
