if you put mango below A tier your opinion on food doesn't matter

that you idubbbztv?

>no cherry tomatoes on the list

discarded
(durian is definately S+++ tier btw)

>>12958299
>tomatoes
>culinary fruit

>>12958264
avocado is a fruit

>>12958322
so is a cucumber and a tomato.
its a fruit by biological definition, not culinary definition
dickhead

>>12958264
the top of the list should be mangosteen and durian...the king and queen of fruits

>>12958340
have not had either, I know durian is supposed to be savory but how is mangosteen

>>12958330
what's the culinary definition of an avocado then?

Why be so acute?

>>12958330
>culinary vegetable
stop this meme

>>12958311
>cherry tomatoes are same as regular tomatoes

nice cherry tomatoes are sweet, sour and also kinda savoury, its a perfect blend
big tomatoes are just shit all around

>>12958264
I've hardly had any of the fruits on this list, honestly. I hear Dragonfruit's pretty good, though.

>>12958349
tangy, delicate and floral. Like if lychee and passionfruit had an baby.

its almost the opposite of durian which is very unapologetically rich and heavy

>>12958350
culinary vegetable
and because the only reason people say shit like "tomato is a vegetable hur" is because when they were a kid they were told by their parents that they were smart for saying such shit like "DiD YoU KnOw A tOmAtOe is AcTuAlLy a FrUiT?!" and so they hold on to that idea of intelligence even though as adults they are just another cog in the wheel with piers who are just like them with no difference between them.
we know, we all know that tomatoes are fruits
we know strawberries arent actually fruits too
you arent impressing anyone by thinking you're smarter than you are and trying to wave your dick around just shows everyone how small it is
for all intents and purposed in the kitchen and in daily life a tomato is a vegetable. its most often put in salads and other savory dishes like other vegetables and calling them a fruit is just like holding out your pinky when you drink cheap ass box wine

>>12958282
This

>>12958396
strawberries are fruits

People who can eat more than 3 kiwis or slices of pineapple without their mouth turning raw are blessed.

>>12958402
you're right I meant berry
they are aggregate accessory fruit
and you being pedantic enough to point that our proves my point

>>12958396
>>12958330
apples, pears, and tomatoes are all used in cooking and baking.
apples, pears, and tomatoes are all also enjoyed in their raw states.

so what makes apples and pears "fruits" but the tomato a "vegetable" despite them being perfectly delicious snacks on their own?

so this whole """"culinary vegetable"" thing is just autism and hairsplitting.

>>12958412
you're the one that got offended enough to write two paragraphs when I said you were being acute.

>>12958418
do you put apples sauce on spaghetti?
do you put a slice of pear on a burger to make it taste savory?
does "sweet tomate pie" sound good to you?
fuck you, you know innately whats a fruit and whats a vegetable and why they are different

>>12958426
thats because Im tired of hearing this shit about tomatoes

>>12958441
you either must be autistic or acute enough to be considered so

>>12958431
>do you put a slice of pear on a burger to make it taste savory?
ok, so what about pineapple?

pineapple is used on pizza and in burgers as compliment to savoury meat
so is it a fruit or a vegetable by your logic?
you are just screaming that everyone should play by your headcanon rules when in fact the common definition of "fruit" and "vegetable" is very fuzzy and not set in black and white. Sometimes tomato is used as a "vegetable". But many times its enjoyed as a "fruit", too.

>sweet tomate pie" sound good to you?
ketchup is literally sweet tomato jam

>>12958462
the reason why people add pineapple to ANYTHING is to make it taste sweeter and more fruity so of course its a fruit dumbass
>ketchup is literally sweet tomato jam
and would you want pie made out of ketchup you fucking degenerate?
fuck your "its not black and white" bullshit everyone except fucking nerds thinks a tomato is a vegetable in day to day conversation

>>12958491
sweet tomato pies actually do exist. You are just being extremely obstinate like what the other anon said

https://www.thespruceeats.com/green-tomato-pie-recipe-3061678

>>12958515
that sounds vile
I dare you to try it and tell me honestly its good

>>12958264

>>12958525
it has a 4.5 star rating so its probably quite good.
I drink tomato juice on its own like another other fruit so I'd probably like it too.

have sex.

>>12958529
>never had avocado

>>12958536
I'm not a millenial and I don't live in USA.

>>12958535
>27 ratings

>>12958541
have you never had guacamole?

>>12958543
so...?
just because a recipe is lesser known doesnt mean its invalid

are you the kind of person who thinks popularity = quality? ariana grande must be your favourite musician then

>>12958561
No

>>12958349 , this guy is right > >>12958390
you eat durian first and then finish with mangosteen, its a traditional mix...the durian is tasty but very heavy to mangosteen kinda cleans you up after

in tcm durian is the hottest fruit and mangosteen oe of the coolest...most tcm is bs but if you eat a whole durian you definatly feel kinda hot and sweaty after

A fruit should be considered A or above if you ever said to yourself
>this is one of the best [x] i've ever had.

So yeah, I agree oranges are tier C not because they're bad, but because there's no such thing as a great orange.

Banana belongs in A

>>12958601

It is t really s tier if it's all s tier

>>12958601
>coconut in S tier
>tangerine in S tier
>grapefruit in S tier

boy you have some low standards, coconut is just mostly bland water and fruit

>>12958622
I dunno man the oranges they used to get at my old college were the best I've had for sure. Perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, juicy, easy peel.

>>12958622
but there can be an orange that is literally perfect: chilled, fresh, sweet and savoury, but not too sour.

meanwhile bananas are same stuff.

the correct order

>>12958403
>green apple higher than pineapple
yikes this is going in my shrek compilation

Fuck Duran, literally the worse thing I've ever eaten in my life

>>12958264
>No pawpaw on this list.

REEEEEEEEEEEE

>>12958311
>culinary fruit
what does this mean when avocado and jackfruit are mentioned, but tomatoes are not

there's literally nothing stopping you from using a tomato like any other fruit

>>12958311
There is no such thing as a “culinary fruit”

I don't really eat new foods too often, not a picky eater just don't look for them. Any S tiers i am missing out on?

>>12959526
forget the picture cuz brainlet

>>12958264

>>12959533
Based on your S's I would wager that you would like lychee

>>12958264

>>12958264
Assuming all are at peak ripeness and flavor. A good persimmon is amazing but so hard to get by me.

I was just in Mexico and some really nice ripe, sweet papaya and still didn't like it. Smells like dirty feet.

Am I the only person who's had gooseberry?

It makes fantastic jams fyi.

>>12958264
>never had a plum
really? I thought these are everywhere

>>12958330
vegetables just mean part of a plant, they're still fruit regardless but I know that would take too much brain activity for you to get over

>>12958264

Why do you hate berries, I can get behind the list otherwise

>>12958264
>teir
Dipshit.

>>12958264
I'm kind of drunk. Where's the tomato?

>>12958264
Tomato nowhere to be found.
Your list is garbage.

Fix'd

>>12958431
Listen its not our fault if you cant fucking cook for shit. You can make sweets with tomatoes you're just a shitter. Try this next time you get tomatoes in your garden (you DO have a garden right?) take halfway ripe tomates chop them and a add hefty amounts of lemon juice and sugar in a pot and make some dank jam. just a 200y old recipe for you.

>>12958529
>never had litchi
genuinely sorry for you.

My grand father had a mango tree that he grew from his finest seed from his finest tree. He grafted it with a pineapple and the result is the closest thing we have to a god tree. The thing is huge and the fruits HUEG. It shits out fruits so much that my cousins who inherited it just give them to their cattle because they gave up on picking them up. Taste and texture is godly. Perfect balance of sweetness with a slight honey flavor. You bite into it and juices flow everywhere . God. Last time I even smuggled a pair in the plane. Worth it.

>>12960851
Thats Not what He ist meaning you absolute fucking mongrel.

>>12959533
passionfruit, mangosteen, lychee, longans and rambutans for you

objectively durian is S but thats very different from normal fruit, you have to think of it as a custard.

Strawberry is shit and overrated as fuck.

Based mango bro.
Papaya should be in quality dependent tier

Tomatos are fruits. The U.S. government classifies them as vegetables for tax purposes.

>>12961975
I've only had one papaya and it was terrible, thus my judgement

>>12958264
Objective list right here

>>12958264

Underrated and checked

All of you faggots are retarded. Why is this so hard to understand???
>sweet = fruit
>not sweet = vegetable
Jesus christ

>>12958264
avocado is a fruit you nigger

>>12963130
Pretty much, which is why tomatoes are obviously a fruit.

>>12963130
This! So much this! It isn't rocket surgery!

>>12959095
>durian and grapefruit at the bottom
tastelet detected

>>12963130
All fruits are vegetables, but not all vegetables are fruits.

>>12963352
Vegetables are any of the non seed-bearing parts of a plant. If it has seeds its a fruit. Otherwise it's a vegetable.

>>12958264
This is the objective true list, prove me fucking wrong

Pro tip: you can't

I feel embarrassed by how big my "never had this" list is.

>>12963399
Biologically speaking, if it's not an animal, a fungi or a mineral, it's a vegetable.

>>12963464
watermelon should be S tier, assuming you can get a properly ripe and sweet one

>>12963130
>sweet potato is now a fruit

gee thanks, billy

>>12958264
i dont really like fruit alot

>>12963620
Anon, do you think there are seeds in sweet potato?

>>12958264
I am lazy, naked, in bed and stubborn so yes, I used a website to make mine.

>>12963705
Forgot my list...

Tried to answer exclusively with respect to eating them raw, since some shit-tier fruit are godly in the right dish.

>>12963645
Well if you plant it it makes more of itself same difference.

I don't trust people who don't like figs.

I'm a let

redcurrant is literally elder god tier, shame i cant find them anywhere in the us

>>12960880
>Why do you hate berries, I can get behind the list otherwise

Seeds mostly. I don't enjoy eating them on their own most of the time but for smoothies and whatever blueberries are great.

Not a single tier list has the one true S tier fruit

>>12958264
>blueberries
>D
I hope your parents beat the shit out of you when you were a kid

Bananacucks on suicide watch!

>>12964806

>>12958264
Wait, you're telling me you've had pomelo and dragonfruit but you've never eaten a plum? Where the hell do you live?

>>12958264
>mango in D tier
I'm not mad at you I'm just disappointed

>>12964875
Not him but 15 years ago the only shops that sold exotic fruits were either Waitrose/M&S or Asian supermarkets. Now you can get shit like lychee, papaya, dragonfruit etc in Morrisons and the other big supermarkets

>>12958264
Ah, an American i see

>>12958264
Why isn't tomato next to avocado

additionally

S: Black grapes, Tangelo, Achacha (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garcinia_humilis))
B: Longan, Mangosteen
C: White varieties of peach, nectarine, cumquat
D: Gala, Red Delicious apple, Custard apple/cherimoya, Bosc pear
F: All melons except watermelon

Surprised how many of you have never tried gooseberries. They're quite nice.

Glad that Ontario has some of the tastiest peaches and wild blueberries when they're in season

>>12958264

>>12958264
>pomegranate is S tier
I AM DISGUSTED

>>12964728
I hear ya, man. Those are great.
gonna provide y'all with a true S fruit.

>>12958264
I love sour fruits

I think I had cranberry juice before but I think it was more like flavoured sugar water.

Also what does Starfruit taste like?

here’s my take

>>12958264
>Dates ans persimmons in C

>>12958382
Buy the one with red flesh

oops, wrong file

What now?

Suprising number of people never had durian or dragon fruit are missing out. They can be sweeter then the ripest watermelon or cantaloupe

>>12958264

Ratings come from 3 factors:

1. Raw flavor
2. Ability to actually eat it without it rotting 3 minutes off the vine
3. Ease of consumption (e.g. not needing to invest an hour on a pomegranate)

Also the list gets a C for not having the greatest fruit known to mankind, the quince

>>12958264
too ez

I can't remember the last time I had fruit

>>12958264
Starfruit needs to be wayyy higher and secondly, you a BINCH for never having had a plum before

>>12958264
strawberry is A tier AT LEAST. fucking retard white grapes are higher than red grapes and leechees are fuckking disgusting. also fuck pomelos and fuck fuck fuck fuck pomegranates. i hate you i hate you i hate you i hate you

>>12958264
>not enjoying mangos
you've only had western mangos
try Pakistani mangos or Indian when in season.

westeren mangos are sour all the time
ew

>>12970275
do you have scurvy?

>>12961886
European raspberries are the best.
That's why everyone else is putting them in lower tiers

>>12961948
>Being this white

>>12963464
No
Depends on the type of date you eat.
Brother used to hate dates until he tried expensive ones from the middle east, can't. They're called ajwa

>>12963645
Sweet potato is a starch

>>12963710
Is that a chestnut at the top?

>>12963545
don't worry about it too much. at least three of those aren't widely available unless you live near an asian market of some kind.
also good taste on putting plums in S tier those are great

here is my subjective tier list based on personal taste :)

>>12971434
oh yeah I put cherry in A tier solely because of Rainier cherries. I fucking love rainier cherries, but I don't really like regular cherries.

>>12958396
Literally no one in the culinary world other than incel faggots on here say “culinary vegetable” thats the most retarded metric of classification of ive ever heard

“We dont have any culinary vegetables to compliment the dish!!!”
Like wtf? Who says this? Nobody that’s who. You combine flavor profiles and textures. You will put thinly sliced pineapple on pork because it is two sweeter tasting things with saltiness and savoury to balance out. No chef would say “You can’t do that its a culinary fruit!!!” Thats just you being a pretentious fag that doesn’t know shit about botany or the culinary

Literally the most retarded board

you're honestly such a faggot I can't believe your rankings. you're probably a skinny twink faggot

>>12971466
Why do you think I dont understand flavor profiles just because im not a retard who calls a tomato a fucking fruit just because I want to sound pretentious?
Do you call bean pods fruit every day? Wheat? Eggplant? what about chili pepper? When I say culinary vegetable I mean the layman's term for what is a vegetable, which include tomatoes, eggplants, corn and other "fruits" because they taste different from sweet fruits
Tomatoes dont add a sweet flavor to things naturally, they add a savory one normally, same with the rest of my listed examples. So unless you expect to make your ham sweeter with fucking eggplant dont call me a retard for being normal and using correct terms regular people do when referring to fruits and vegetables
