    Durian. :D Only available in South East Asia.
    its odor is best described as pig-****, turpentine and onions, garnished with a gym sock. It can be smelled from yards away. Despite its great local popularity, the raw fruit is forbidden from some establishments such as hotels, subways and airports, including public transportation in Southeast Asia.
    Other comparisons have been made with the civet, sewage, stale vomit, skunk spray, and used surgical swabs.

    While technically a fruit, in culinary circles it's considered a vegetable.
    But it's a nightshade, full of lectins and solananine (evil things).

    But the fruit is not poisonous. Full of lycopene, too. One of nature's best antioxidants.

    I bet you avoid spuds, too. [another nightshade :eek:]

    For the best variety, go to Marks and Spencers and get the one that has kiwi, passion fruit, pineapple, pommegrades and melon (though I dump the melon and eat the rest). Mmmm quality!

    Madarins/clementines/small oranges/whatever else anyone calls them.

    I see the humble apple seems to have taken a fall from grace.

    Tomatoes.
    Tomatoes aren't your favourite
    You just want to show that you know that they are in fact a fruit.
    I don't think you like tomatoes at all!

    Yea, totally a showoff :), the tomatoe is a strange one all right, bit of a veg vibe going off it, one of the few fruits that regularly appear on the dinner plate

    Pomegranate

    Well lah-dee-da folks, what's wrong with calling it a wine-apple? Best fruits = mango, pineapple, cherries, blueberries, plums and nectarines.

    So a pomegranite is a wine apple? Those stupid fecking hard yokes with the impenetrable skin that contains a white hardened goo that tastes like pure poison and at the end of it all you end up with a bowl of what looks like satans blood drops? I really dont think nature wants us to eat those things.
