what is everyone's top 5 things worth growing?

Well I think it goes unsaid that the yard grown fruit/veggies far surpass anything found in the grocery store. But you’re right, I like to grow things that aren’t even available in stores, which are most things in my area.
To your point I’ve never had a remotely palatable peach from a grocery store, the ones from my yard however are to die for. I’ve had at least good mangoes from the grocery store, however the fresh ones are far better, I’ll still eat them for $1 from the grocery stores. I won’t even buy peaches from there though.

You and I and everyone here know this, but the general population who get 99% of their produce from the grocery store have no idea until they try it. They think fresh produce at the grocery store is actually fresh produce.

That’s fair, good point.

I took everyone's top 5 and these are the most mentioned:

mango (
mulberry (5)
guava (5)
citrus (4)
avocado (3)
banana (3)
jaboticaba (3)
jackfruit (3)
loquat (3)
dragonfruit (2)
custard apple (2)
garcinia (2)
lychee (2)
mamey (2)
papaya (2)
stone fruit (2)
yam (2)

I took some liberties with the groupings (e.g. "pomelo" as "citrus")

For me, in semi-arid zone 7b, the most consistently drought tolerant tasty fruit trees seem to be:

Apples.
Peaches / plums / apricots / cherries / chokeberries / most stonefruits in general.
Hackberry.
Clove currant.
Thornless blackberries and raspberries.

And I'm going to add carob to the list, because even though it's a zone 9 plant and I have to grow it in a greenhouse, it's so awesomely drought tolerant that I've gotta love it. 

Also, are you only looking for fruit trees?  I could talk about annuals and perennial vegetables that are tasty and great in my climate, as well.

I'd definitely add wine cap mushrooms to the list, even though they're not a plant, because they're edible and make everything else grow better.

If I was in CA my list would change significantly. If in wasp territory, any gardener worth his salt should be growing a quality fig tree. When caprified they’re such a top tier fruit.

Figs are definitely delicious, and significantly more drought tolerant than peaches.  Less drought tolerant than apples, though.  And figs seem to be more sensitive to overwatering than either apples or peaches.  I'm pleasantly surprised by just how tough apples can be.  It's possible they're just ideally suited to my climate, and figs or peaches are better in others.

I think figs are hard to beat, and I love the common raspberry.
