List your top 5 favorite fruits
I was always a bit puzzled why most people were crazy over fruit and I wasn’t. I just realized.
Macintosh apples and oranges with seeds in them.
Those were the staple fruits in my house growing up. I don’t like Macintosh apples! They’re too soft and bruised so easily in my brown bag lunches when I was in school. I never (or rarely) ate the apple to be honest.
Then there were those big, hard to peel oranges that you had to pick the seeds out of. No, kids don’t like those. Why didn’t we have seedless oranges at least?
My Dad is not a picky guy but for some reason detested bananas and couldn’t even handle the smell so we rarely had bananas in the house.
I think in the summertime Mom would buy watermelon on occasion.
But this was the 80’s remember. Other fruits had just not been invented yet I guess. Only Macintosh apples and oranges with seeds existed.
I think in the early 90’s I was introduced to kiwis. Yeah they were okay. Not something I’d eat more than one of though.
Okay actually I did leave one fruit out. Raspberries. Everyone on a farm has bushes of raspberries. But I never really thought to eat as a snack per se. They were picked to make desserts sometimes but then we went hard on picking them to can them, as in, to make jam. So yeah, raspberries also existed back then.
