When fruit goes WRONG

srsly do I need to offer a zoom class on how to NOT eat banana that is not the color u like

i am sorry citrus evaluation is hard for you, i really am

Sometimes underripe bananas pose as perfectly ripe bananas though

you look for the green, don't see any, get tricked into taking a bite, and then your mouth dries up

This never happens to me. Even on the rare occasions where there’s no green on the skin, I’ve always been able to tell by the first pull on it. But I confess my range of tolerance on bananas is VERY wide.

even when the banana has a couple of colonies of fruit flies living on it - it's much easier to mash it up for a very satisfactory sandwich imo

A fair result, all told. For me it's to do with the unbridgeable chasm between a good banana and a bad banana: the former is the very best fruit experience and the disappointment when one experiences a bad one, and the knowledge of what one has missed out on is so great that one's whole day can be ruined.

The chasm between a good banana cream pie and a bad banana cream pie is also vast and unbridgeable, but I guess that is true of all varieties of pie.

dry mealy peaches are super disappointing

Actually now that I think about it the obvious answer is avocado.

Out-of-season peaches from Chile or wherever are pathetic. They even smell bad, like long-abandoned laundry.

Oh god yeah. Where were peaches, nectarines and APRICOTS in this poll. My retrospective write-in vote

nectarines for sure

Would have voted pears: underripe = eating a rock, overripe = somehow simultaneously mushy and dry, grainy, acrid. And the window between the two is vanishingly small.
