Easy. I don’t eat fruit anyway, other than bananas, so bananas plus two other random fruit (I chose apples and peaches). ---

Lemons for my iced tea and many cooking applications. Coconut for their milk in my curries. Cantaloupe for lunch with fresh mozzarella and prosciutto. ---

Slicing into a good pineapple is one of the simple pleasures in life that activates many senses, and the fruit has many uses besides being chilled and eaten straight… Pineapple is my #4. It broke my heart to leave it off. So much so that I am reconsidering my selections after reading your Ode to Pineapple. I was on a cruise once that had an unlimited amount of very fresh pineapple available. I ate it until my mouth burned. Then I kept on going. mmm ---

Mangoes in the Caribbean are scrumptious. They are picked ripe and have to be eaten over the sink or you’ll get mango juice everywhere. ---

I rarely eat fresh fruit because of a sensitive stomach, but pineapple can only be truly enjoyed fresh. It’s on my list. I must have mincemeat pie, so I guess my other two are apples and grapes. What about nutritional supplements? We are struggling with blood pressure, and black cherry juice is often suggested. I voted cherry, before I was reminded that raisins are grapes. ---

In the western Pacific, we often had pickled mango. Koko, it was called. I believe someone even said it was pickled _unripe_ mango. Amazingly sour, but wonderful.
