If somebody offers you a whole basket of fruit and asks you to choose from a whole bunch of baskets like banana, mango, strawberry, pineapple, apples, pears, oranges, Jackfruit, watermelon etc., etc.... Which one do you pick. since it is an offer for one basket, I would choose bananas since everybody in my family likes to eat bananas without any trouble. My kids hates oranges, and some times eat strawberries, mangoes, apples. But they like to eat bananas My husband eat pineapple, grapes and bananas and I like to eat jackfruit, banana, strawberry, mango, watermelon.

Wow that's a tough question for me considering I absolutely love to eat fruit! I have not tried very many exotic fruits, but I suppose I have tried a good amount. I would have to pick cantaloupe (melon). Once when I was babysitting I didn't want my nephews and niece to eat too much junk food, so I brought a cantaloupe for us to share. They really liked it and I was pleases since I really cannot have enough of it =]

Mango! I will definitely choose mango. Last time, we have a mango tree at the backyard. But it was chopped off when my dad decided to extend the house. My mom will always reserve the seed for me. Mango is expensive, so I seldom eat mango. Now you offer it for free, I will just grab it! Thanks!

I do not know what jack fruit is. Can you describe what that is. I do love banana's and apples and everything in your list but mangoes. I know mangoes seem to be a lot of peoples favorites but not mine.

Follow the link to know more about jackfruit. It is a famous fruit in south India especially in Kerala which is a state in south India. You have to dip each piece of the jack fruit in honey and eat it. You might get some in your local Indian store. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackfruit

good choice too.. I don't which part of India you are in. If you are in South India, I am pretty sure, watermelon will definitely help you during summer.

I would love to have strawberries, when im offered firstly. Then if im offered second time, i would definitely go for both grapes and mangoes. I was born in summers, and so mangoes have been my favourite. And there's a reason why i didn't choose mangoes in the first place. It was because Strwaberries are not always sweet, so i'll eat the strawberries first, and then have the mangoes, so that mango's taste prevails in my mouth for a longer time!!

This is a hard question, because I WANT THEM ALL. I gain weight during these holiday season. I need to detoxify so I plan to eat just fruits until I burn (OH LORD HELP ME!!! ) I like strawberry, here in where I live, it cost more since the place where we can only grow strawberry in our country was located in the city wherein you need to drive for 8 hrs. So you know, price would cost more since the fruti was transported from one place to another. I also love mango, ripe mango shake surely makes my day. I am not sure if you know the fusion of fruits, say 3 fruits- mango, apple and watermelon is my favorite. You have to put ice, milk, and slices of these 3 frutis, blend it and walaaaaahhhh you have now a glorious slush, you can hardly resist another glass of it. Uhmmmm I so so love fruits. Ok, enough of this, I get the basket of watermelon.

I'd would like to have the mango - especially if it's sweet and juicy. It's probably the only fruit I eat besides papayas. My husband takes almost all fruits - he loves eating them.

I would choose strawberries. I love strawberries, but my daughter hates them and so does my aunt. I cannot imagine anybody that doesn't like strawberries. My favorite. Strawberry pie, milkshake, strawberry shortcake.

I love all kinds of fruits.I find it difficult to choose one particular fruit.The only fruit i am not too keen on is Apple.My own favorite fruits are Mangoes, Strawberries and melons.I love even Jack fruit a lot.I am not too fond of Banans except one variety of it.But i have to agree that it is the most commonly eaten fruit and the most convenient fruit to be carried around, the other fruit being orange, which is another of my favourite fruits

I love cherries, s if there were cherries or strawberries in the basket I'd take that. Otherwise, maybe it would be grapes for me. That's the closes to a berry that is in the fruit basket you mentioned. :) It's interesting that you mentioned jack fruit as one of your favorite fruits. We don't have it all year round so I seldom have a taste. it's yummy, but not my favorite because I can't always have it.

If only I can have the entire basket full of fruits then I would do that but since I am only given the choice to choose which one I would go for watermelon. Me and my family loves watermelon a lot and it is really sweet and juicy especially if it has been chilled before you eat such i just love the taste of it. YUmmy!!!

oh why would I have to choose only one if there are plenty of them in a basket?.lol. it's very confusing because I like them all but if am asked to have only one choice then I guess it would be jackfruit from among the choices you've given. I really missed it..am not sure if that is common in the usa but very much in the Philippines.....we have some in our farms and they really taste great.

since there are so many different kinds of fruits in the basket,then it must be a costlyone. and yes all the fruits tastes different from one another. since each person has his own taste for fruits,so your family members like different fruits. and you are getting all the fruits in one basket then you should consider lucky.

yep, one should be lucky to have so much fruits. cos some fruits are really expensive..
