Mango. Canadian here, probably about the best thing that grows here is a strawberry, but I was 30 when I tried my first mango and holy shit is that ever a depth and breadth of flavour.

Fun fact: According to dental studies/questionnaires, apple is the most dangerous fruit for human teeth with biting into apples the leading cause of chipped or fractured teeth when choosing which fruit to eat without any utensils.

So yeah, if you wanna eat apples, eat it after slicing them up into pieces rather than biting the apple directly.

I once ate a honeydew that was so juicy that biting into it was like sucking water from a bucket. And it was wonderfully flavorful, it was as if the fruit had been kissed by the muses and grown in manure from Apollo's cattle. It was the most perfect fruit I have ever experienced.

So yes, I can name a better tasting fruit than watermelon.

No they aren't. It's a fruit that grows from a vine. The vine grows the fruit that contains seeds in which animals eat and then spread. That's what makes it a fruit.

Vegetables don't really have a botanical definition, but essentially include any plant matter that can be eaten, however fruit is defined botanically as basically any seed bearing structure formed by the ovary of a plant. That's what a watermelon is

They're usually fine in season. Where I live there is about a 1 month window in the middle of summer where even walmart is stocking watermelons grown in state or texas which isn't far. Those are usually ok. The problem is attempting to buy them out of your regional season when they've been shipped thousands of miles and warehoused for 1 month. Of course those taste like mushy ass.

I've taken to just growing my own the last couple years.
