Quote from: Waterfall on June 04, 2015, 03:00:53 AMBabaco hands down the worst so far. Basically flavourless, not even worthy of filler in a fruit salad.Very recently I had some excellent Babaco grown by a friend nearby. I wonder if it tastes better when grown in a cool foggy location like his? It was juicy and aromatic and mildly sweet. We ate the whole thing in one sitting and were stuffed.

(I find it much more refreshing than Papaya, but it's definitely not as complex.)
Elderberries raw gave me an unpleasand and mild case of stomach ache, but are perfectly ok as marmalade. Processed flowers are better. Elderberry flower's champagne is fine. Bottles can explode but as drink is fine.
lol do you eat it like a orange
Cantaloupe. Mild, bland, watery and slimy. Junk.

I don't understand how Grapefruit is considered a good fruit. I mean the 1st second of biting into it it's a bliss, then comes that awful bitterness SMACK in your face. Your smile disappears, your hope vanishes, your dreams fade away and light turns to shadows. Hello darkness my old friend.
Tomatoes, they're put into everything and they taste aweful. I guess commercial varieties aren't too bad because they're so bland and tastless but I can't stand homegrown, the flavorful tomatoey taste explosion is too much for me.
Blech. I do not like the Japanese persimmon. It is very astringent, and resinous, and disgusting, tasting like rotten vomit.
My wife's friend was visiting and wanted to try a Surinam cherry. We have a ton of them and they are the awful kind that make you kind of angry when you bite into one. Before I could warn her and tell her to take only a little nibble, she popped the entire thing in her mouth and went to chewing. I waited for her disgust, but it never came. She actually liked it, and wanted more. I was speechless. Thought she was messing with me at first. She's getting noni next time! That's the nastiest fruit I've almost tried, as cannot get past the smell to actually taste test it.
