Here's how I'd approximately rank my current favorite fruits for eating fresh (based on my favorite varieties of each fruit):

1) mangoes
2) bananas (even the lowly Cavendish grocery store bananas)
3) cantaloupe
4) watermelon
5) peaches
6) oranges
7) pineapple
8) strawberries
9) cherries
10) dragon fruit
11) kiwi
12) grapes
13) plums
14) pears
15) apples (would be way higher if counting apple sauce/cider/butter/etc)
16) raspberries

Here's a link to a good thread I found on GardenWeb that a lot of you may find interesting: What's Your Top 5 Tropical Fruits?

After reading through that thread yesterday, I went to the Asian market in town to try and find some of the recurring favorites that I had never tried. Here's what I found and bought--

Fresh: Rambutan, Lychee (and some Niño bananas)
Canned: Mangosteen, Jackfruit, Longan, and banana blossoms

I also wanted starfruit, durian, cherimoya, jabaticaba, passion fruit, and sugar apple, but they didn't have any.

I tried the lychee and the rambutan. Both reminded me of big grapes. The lychee was okay; the rambutan was sweeter and tasted better to me. No idea what varieties they were, how long ago they were picked, or how many thousands of miles they had traveled. I'm going to wait until dinner to try the canned fruits. I'm sure they're vastly inferior to fresh versions, but hopefully still palatable.

Peaches(Same as apples) I grow my own
Satsumas, mandarins and tangerines. I grow my own and storebought

Meyer's lemons I grow my own
pineapple I grow my own sometimes
Strawberries Tried and failed to grow my own twice.
