When I thought of the top 6, the picture was of the best fruits I've ever had, and might look something like this:

1. Crisp, perfectly tart dark Lapin cherries
2. A ripe dark plum with sour skin but bursting with sweet juice inside
3. The heart of a luscious red watermelon on a hot summer day
4. Golden pineapple ripened on the plant in Costa Rica and cut open in the field
5. A fresh lychee right off the tree
6. The perfect green melons of Japan whose perfume fills the room when they are cut

If I can count perfect fresh fruit as a collective #1, the rest might include:

2. Hot corned tongue sandwich, thinly sliced, on rye
3. My friend's mom's homemade spring rolls, right out of the hot oil, with sweet/tart sauce
4. The chicken soup made by the abuelita at Nuevo Leon in Chicago
5. Sushi from one of the stalls at Tsukiji Market -- if I have to pick one kind, then ika
6. The creamed spinach they used to serve at the Berghoff in Chicago
