nice juicy big melons.
More than a mouthful is a bonus, more than a handful is a bounty?
Favourite melon (naturally other than ur mum's) is piel de sapo. Likewise I thought you were more of a peaches man.

Anyway going to have to get complicated.

You say apples are peasant food. I say you probably have not had good ones -- the differences between nominally eating* apples is massive and most of the things you find in modern supermarkets are hideously sweet (as in zoos no longer feed them to animals as they were getting fat on them) and designed to keep for as long as it can really. Get some nice heritage varieties or other old school things and the game changes radically.

*UK English tends to split apples into three types where some languages go for two. Eating (also called dessert, though some try to make that a fourth category), cooking (for the most part think bramley apple if you are supermarket tainted) and crab (the small ones you tend to see growing wild, sour as anything but make a nice jelly and then crab apple butter).

Rhubarb is bad? To think I once wondered if you were a clone of myself. It can vary dramatically as well -- young vs old, thee is also dark rhubarb, and preparation is key. It may also depend how much you like sour things (I can't buy citric acid crystals from the chemist any more as I like to eat it raw). Rhubarb crumble though is a winner in my house and all those I have ever taken one to.

Grapes wise they sell ones called candyfloss these days (eating them you get a little edge of such things) and they are very nice.

Pomegranate is probably my favourite if I can get a good one. Mangos are not bad either if you get good ones (had some once they called Israeli mangos and they were very nice indeed, haven't seen them in a long time though), and that is also not counting most imported from places they grow are tiny unripe things as they are the only ones to keep the journey.

All that said fuck tomatoes. They are hideous beyond belief.

I was going for shock value, I have only had rhubarb in pie but it was good admittedly (but definitely not a fruit)

I have had some good apples, but never amazing and certainly not better than all the fruit I listed above it

As for mangoes, the fresh ones I had in Vietnam were God tier and nothing I have had since has ever compared
