Agree what else is the top 3

Gotta be pineapple.

Or just your classic orange.

Not sure I'm willing to allow anything else into the discussion.

Orange in your teeth is annoying though

Says who?

The (now deleted) post from that particular person (jimmcconnell) now feels a bit ominous.

Sometimes you can't help it, only takes 1 second of eye contact to make everything uncomfortable.

I know it's immature but it's just the way it is. Like when squirting mayonnaise out of the bottle and it makes that farting sound, I am going to laugh every time, can't help it.

Not big on plums more of a passion fruit man

Plums are disgustingly underrated. It's a quality fruit. The sweet juicy ones can be heavenly. I wonder why they're not more popular. I guess people associate them with prunes, which are old people laxatives, but proper plums are a completely different thing.

Maybe I have just had bad luck with plums, I like being Professor Plum in Cluedo.

Just found Plums to be disappointing like red grapes or avocado

You have to be a bit discerning as well as lucky to get them at an ideal ripeness. They have to still be relatively solid but with a fair bit of give when you squeeze them. Too solid and it's too early - they'll be tasteless, dry and unpleasant to bite into. Too ripe and they'll be worryingly soft and gooey, as well as sickly sweet. Can be a major turn off. They have to be just right for a proper experience.

Surely Heeney. Gulden, Papley, Lloyd are others that have been in the leadership group recently and could get the nod, but I don't know why we wouldn't give it to the guy leading where it counts.

The plums that are dark red inside are elite.

Agree about red grapes but try cooking with some. I’ve never cooked with grapes before

I slow roasted some green and red grapes with equal amount of cherry tomatoes, a jalapeño , some garlic and ginger with some slab bacon. Made stacks. Had some with pasta and the rest tossed with greens and a boiled egg for lunch. It worked. Yum.
