I think I might have smoked some hash through an apple once. Does that count?

Not really fruit related and sorry about being off-topic but we also have about 2-3 pounds of chanterelle mushrooms grow wild in the yard 2-3 times a year as well. Chanterelles down there? Interesting. Only place I've ever gathered them was in the redwoods near the coast. On our coast, the formula is: Old Growth Fir + Oregon Grape + Salal = Chantrelles They really like that deep organic duff from the firs. And we don't put no ketchup on 'em in these here parts. Yep, under those nearly ready to harvest 2nd growth redwoods was the best spot.

Yall got them stinky kumquads down thar LOL - Yup. I don't eat them much, not really a natural fruit to me. If you like to preserve, they make excellent marmalade. I like them, but it is always interesting to bite into a citrus where the sweet part is the rind.

Really like it, don't eat it much. Wife wasn't raised eating it much, dont buy it. They, she snack on junk.
One exception is apples. Big business growing apples here, Ridgetop orchard has 8 or 10 big wood boxes from the orchards or cooler on the dock. Each a different type, pick through them, fill a half bushel bag. $8.
They are good apples, ones the sorters set aside as not making the cut to be sold to the grocery stores.
There will frequently be one or two bags here from August to February. Make a lot of fresh sauce, it's better when you have several types to put in it. Same with pies.
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

Fruit is just pretty, tasty sugar, but we had a bumper crop of peaches and blueberries, a fair crop of sour cherries, strawberries, and blackberries, an even a few apples from both our old and a couple of young apple trees. What we couldn’t eat or give away, we froze and dried.
What fresh Hell is this?

My Lady enjoys foraging wild strawberries, blackberries, apples, plums, blueberries and high bush cranberries. What we don't eat we preserve. Otherwise it is various fruits from the farmer's market or grocery store.

We get pleanty of fresh fruit down here south of you
Some we grow, most we purchase.
Costco always has a good selection.....and it's procured twice a month in quantity. Occasionally I'll visit a fruit stand, but that's not the norm.
Have a few trees (apricot, plumb, orange, nectarine, ponagranite, pear, etc) When things ripen, it's a mad dash to eat it off the tree or preserve it. I do both.
The stone fruit is my favorite by far.

I'd have to sample a few quarts to let you know. Does apple pie count as a fruit ?

I'll eat as much as I can of whatever is in season. About the time I get tired of one, another kind is on the way. Right now apples are coming off but they are picked green as grass. So later you have to glean the orchard for the tree ripened stuff
I could wish a lot of things on my worst enemy but neuropathy ain't one of them.

I called a banana on my cell phone and it answered - "Yellow!"

We have apple, pear, peach, cherry and fig trees. Big line of blackberry and raspberry, 10 blueberry, 2 grape vines. Eat a good bit of fruit in season and preserve a good bit in jelly’s and Jams. Cabin is loaded with huckleberries and apples, lots of blackberries.
We eat a lot of dried fruit. My favorite is dried pineapple and mango. Dried strawberries are like candy.
I despise melon of any type, cantaloupe and bananas.

Figs, pears, apples, blueberry trees, kiwis.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
