Just to let you know...in season you can get rainier cheeries in honolulu and hawaii for 3-5 dollars a pound. I have also found them in Meijers a Michigan and Ohio megastore chain for the same price in season so asked for them. Costco even sells them.

Fruit is my primary source of sugar. I found these at Walmart, of all places. $1.99 for a pound. About the size of a ping pong ball and very sweet. When I peeled the first one, Mrs BV said it smelled like an orange lollipop. .

Kiwi is an "I don't mind" but not a desire 
Peak of ripeness summer stone fruits are my desire, they light my fire.
♫Come on peaches light my fire
Come on cherries light my fire
Time to set the fruit on fire ,,,♫ (with a little rum, then over some ice cream)

Something that I liked - for juice - was from Ecuador. Never seen it anywhere else. Naranjilla, though it's, no doubt, in other Andean countries. Looks like a baby orange, but the insides are green.

Been eating PRC pomelos, especially give there was a local deal that had them costing a net of just over USD 1 each. Also have these PRC mini pomelos that don't look like pomelos but more like a very large lemon crossed with a mandarin orange.

Any fruit at peak ripeness is good with me. But I think if I was choosing from among all ripe fruits, a Bartlett pear would be my selection.

I like so many, it's easier to list what I don't like.
Ripe papaya
Raw apples
Melons other than watermelon and cantalope
Grapefruit
Grapes and kiwi are edible but meh.
