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 :)

Blackberries and raspberries! I still have fond memories of picking them walking the way to and from school
Raspberries right now
Durian. It’s like eating a cream custard in fruit form. Longans and Lychees. (Related and similar in flavour, but not in form.) Sweet but with a little lilt of “something else” that makes them interesting.
Pomelo 😋
Raspberries, lychee, mango
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.
Sour cherries are my favorite fruit by far. They are good plain or in so many things, pies, cobblers, mixed into yogurt. Mulberries are another favorite. Those I have only had plain by the handful.
Strawberries won over pears as they can be put into pierogies.
Oh my gosh, now I want a strawberry blintz.
I have seen naleśniki with strawberry jam or cream mixed with fresh fruit.
That sounds so good. I wish I could get these things where I live. Might need to learn to make crepes and crepe-like objects.
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
I rate apples on a a scale of “too much apple” to “needs more apple”. I also think most apples in grocery stores are just too big.
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.
Even then sometimes you just get shitty mealy ones that make me gag. My go to is honeycrisp or cosmic crisp now though
Blackberries and huckleberries, which makes living in the Pacific Northwest perfect for me. I’m sure I would hate dealing with the invasive blackberry that is found everywhere here if I didn’t enjoy the fruit.
Pineapple, banana, mango. Just about any tropical fruit.
Pawpaws! If you get them just right, they’re like eating a banana-mango custard.
Bananas are a classic, but I’m a big plum fan
Mangoes, the tropical kind. Also, grapes.
I don’t have any favourite but I like avocados, bananas, sugar apples and cantaloupes.
I’ve never heard of somebody loving cantaloupe. How interesting.
It tastes like a blend of pumpkin and watermelon to me, quite nice!
Wow, it must taste totally different to you than it does to me. It’s always interesting how people perceive taste so differently.
Very true and well said. Now I’m curious about how the fruit tastes to you.
