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
Pomelo 😋
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.
Raspberries, lychee, mango
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.
Mangoes, the tropical kind. Also, grapes.
I can’t believe you like pears. Who likes pears? A fresh ripe pear is still mealy, like grainy mushy. Like an apple that’s gone past it’s prime.

You’re getting the wrong pears if they’re mealy/grainy. I haven’t seen the good pears in years, though. Everyone around me just carries those ugly brown ones that are like bags of sand inside 🤢
The good ones are green and have the same texture as an apple. But I don’t know what the species/type name is.
Asian pears are typically not mealy
I would say asian pears are less mealy but still slightly gritty. In Korea, they say that asian pears are good for a congested throat, as the graininess is supposed to help clear your throat.
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
Pineapple, banana, mango. Just about any tropical fruit.
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.
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.
Bananas are a classic, but I’m a big plum fan
Pawpaws! If you get them just right, they’re like eating a banana-mango custard.
