With taste, cost, convenience in mind, it hs to be the humble boiled egg satsuma for me. Tasty, cheap and not overly messy – they’re just great.

The watermelon on the other hand…..

Papaya, Well worth the effort.

banana

a pineapple

a good, sour granny smith.

The humble monkey stick:

Raspberries … just love ’em. 🙂

Yes raspberries!

but this isn’t top trumps is it?

Top trumps would have you rating the fruit on various characteristics. For example, pineapple is tastier than an apple, but an apple is far more portable.

What 6 categories are we rating on:

Taste (obvious)
Value (have you seen the price of strawberries!)
Reliability (you can get shit pieces of good fruit too)
Portability (as above)
Ease of preparation (pineapples, melons, all nice but a bloody faff)
Versatility (rhubarb = crumble, but sod all else)

For me, it has to be: They’re tasty, you can carry it, they’re cheap, rarely disappoint (unless you’re stupid enough to eat green ones), so simple a chimp can work it, and can be used in so many ways from raw to fritters, banoffee pie, barbecued with a flake stuffed inside, with custard……. a banana

Cox’s apple.

Banana, comes in it’s own jacket too.

Banana. obviously

With taste, cost, convenience in mind

Jesus tonight theotherjohnv – cool your boots man.

I see STW is on the crest of another upturn in arguing and sanctimonious prickyness. 😐

Got to be the Kiwi first and Banana a close second

bananas win every time

All round versatility has to go to the banana.

Other contenders include chirimoya, mango (hard) and pomegranate.

Watermelon. It’s a daddy of fruit and unsurpassed for killing hangovers.

‘nana.. pre-packaged in a biodegradable wrapper.. sweet.. full of goodness.. full of win..
wild blackberry has got to be a contender when in season too…

Grapes for me, can’t stand bananas, even the smell of them makes me cringe.

coconut SHELL 20

beat that!

tomatoe becuase I am trying to start an upturn in arguing and sanctimonious prickyness. 😉

you are left with the wrapper with a banana which you have to dispose of, as with satsumas.. must be some fruit you can eat totally…?

The Durian would beat all other fruit!

I think that you would struggle to beat this bad boy.

shit spelt peelability wrong and i really can’t be arsed editing it

tomatoe becuase I am trying to start an upturn in arguing and sanctimonious prickyness.

You’re joking, right?

Jeez, I didn’t expect to be offered out over a humorous discussion on the pros and cons of different fruits.

The point is that top trumps requires you to test your fruit against mine based on various points. It’s not top trumps if you’re looking for the best all rounder. The best all rounder isn’t necessarily the best in any single aspect. Daley Thompson wouldn’t win any categories of top trumps (athlete version of course, not the fruit one. i don’t think he’s a fruit) but he was a fine all rounder.

And for the record it isn’t about being sanctimonius, it’s about being right. Pedantic prick I could have accepted.

PS: there’s no ‘H’ in Jon. But detail clearly isn’t your strong point.

HtS – you’ve spelt peelability wrong.

You can tell your boss is in an afternoon-long meeting ….

banana

theotherjoHnv – I obviously know what Top Trumps is about or I wouldn’t have mentioned it in a poll type thread for the best fruit. I just couldn’t be arsed coming up with amusing properties like HtS has just done.

I can’t see what HtS has added, it’s just a red x in a box. You know, the sort teacher used to put next to your work when you were wrong.

As she would have put next to your first post.

You’re joking, right?

Well spotted nothing gets past you. I think gave it away a bit though, even mispelling it did not get a reaction off to subtelty school for me

bacon

Relieved there are others who do not enjoy bananas.

Thought for a minute one might be ‘special’. 🙄

Well spotted nothing gets past you.

😆

Aah Peelability Schmeelability. The humble nana has nothing on these bad boys:
