I can't answer this thread without cheating. My official answer is tomatoes. My unofficial answer fruit salad. If I had to pick one non tomato fruit it would reluctantly be pineapples.

Mines a pear only if it's fresh and crunchy.

Pineapple.

If I'm in Hawaii then it has to be fresh pineapple....if I'm at home peach.

Although tomatoes may be botanically a berry type fruit; most of us consider them to be a culinary vegetable.

The vast majority of the "great unwashed" (myself included) do not include tomatoes among the list of fruits.

Yes, I'm very fond of vine ripened heirloom tomatoes --- but they'll never be anything other than a vegetable to me.

Is Agave a fruit?

A tree ripened and plucked Mango. Hayden I believe but not sure as the tree is at an abandoned home site. The house was demolished in 2006. Leaving about 6 full grown producing tree's. It's brcome a game to see who gets the fruit first me or the squirrels!

You all named fruits that come in second to the Rainier Cherry. The king or fruit, only for a fleeting week to 10days can you enjoy this perfect sugar morsel.
Any day now............

I love peaches and the season is close to being upon us

I have an apple tree in my yard, I'm not sure of the correct name but the apples are like a yellow delicious but the skin is rusty looking. We've always called them Rustycoats, but I'm sure that's not right.
Anyway, when they're dead ripe and I'm out mowing grass, there's nothing better than getting in the shade and pulling off a fresh one for a snack.

My grandfather used to say, "The Lord could've made a better dish than peaches and cream, but He didn't see any need to."

A good peach is hands down the best. The very best "other fruit" is second best always.

on the rare occasions that you can find good one's, plums.

the short shelf life makes it tough to find

Mango for sure. Peaches and pineapple after that.

black plums, followed by kiwi

then raspberries, blueberries and strawberries

Pink Lady apples are hard to beat.

Pineapple would be a very close second.

Huckleberry's first, then Pineapple. I sure wish they could come up with a way to commercially grow them, but so far the only way get them is to go into the mountains and pick them yourself or buy from someone that picks and sells them. Huckleberry cobbler is to die for.

Peaches by far during the season. I just enjoyed one about an hour ago.
