I have always loved Pears since I was a kid, but recently I’ve had a newfound adoration for Strawberries.
For fruit juices nothing beats the good ol’ apple juice :)
Apples, but they have the most variance unfortunately. The height of apples is amazing, but when you get a bad one it’s utterly terrible
Honeycrisp apples have become my new favorite over the years. Even a mid honeycrisp apple beats the pants off every red delicious or washington I’ve ever had. Fuji is a close second.
Raspberries, lychee, mango
Pineapple, banana, mango. Just about any tropical fruit.
I’m not a big pear fan. Partly the general flavour, but also they always feel gritty to me. But that might depend on variety.
I really like raspberries. There aren’t many others I’d consider a favourite but I like plenty of others.
Weirdly, not a big fan of melons or most other tropical fruit.
The only fruit juice I like is orange. Can’t stand apple juice or cider. No idea why. I like apples, I just don’t like that much apple flavor in my mouth or something.
Actual fruits… my favorites are probably raspberries with the caveat that I hate the seeds getting crushed and’s sticking in my teeth. Plums are pretty good if you get them at the perfect ripeness - soft and sweet but not so juicy you look like you just left a porn shoot after eating one.
For the cider, it might be how sweet it is/tastes. You can try drinking it warm/hot or you can try turning it into Mulled Cider if you want to give cider another shot.
I don’t chew raspberries, I’m a tongue against the roof of the mouth person, unless I want to spend way too much effort digging a seed out of a tooth.
