Yes, We Have No Bananas, We Have No Bananas Today

I forgot to mention pineapple. A really ripe, sweet pineapple makes a lovely smoothie when mixed with orange and strawberries or raspberries.

Pineapple is like candy. So sweet, sticky, addictively delicious.

All fruit except for grapefruit.

Same here. There are many fruits that I haven't had the opportunity to try yet though.

Has anyone tried "donut peaches"? They are an heirloom variety of peach that are flat, sort of squashed (like a donut--hench the name) and are white fleshed and sweet with almond top notes. They are my new favourite--we've been making them into ice cream in the vita mix, eating them with romanoff sauce (greek style soya yogurt, lemon juice, demerara sugar and brandy) and just on their own. I cannot get enough of them.

Cantaloupe and honeydew are so-so. I used to always put them in my fruit salads, but don't anymore. I've tried stuff like Starfruit, but it didn't have much of a taste to it. I've tried the Cherimoya and would like to try it again. I'd love to try other stuff like Dragonfruit, as well as the Durian.

We get them overhere but they are far more expensive than the classic ones.

I can get 8 peaches for about £1.30 from the green grocer--which makes about a pound in weight--for making peach ice cream.

Mangos are another favourite--3 for £1 at the market today so i'll cut those up and freeze them for smoothies or ice cream. I left one unfrozen to eat as a snack.
