    Half of this video is about tropical fruits. I am from Malaysia and grew up having a backyard and orchard full of majority of these fruits you’ve listed. Your list made me realised how truly blessed I am to grow up in such a rich taste environment my parents made. Imagine some people probably never have tasted, not a single fruit you’ve listed. I remember as a kid I would climbed a rambutan tree, ate some fruits and then climbed a water apple tree, ate some fruits, then next onto a guava tree, ate some fruits, and last climbed a mangosteen tree, ate some fruits and stayed there for a while on the long thin branches and did my homework while enjoying the breeze and the view of the paddy fields as far as my eyes could see. I would climbed back down after my stomach was content and I had finished my homework. And that was my little late afternoon snack rendezvous - always fresh, healthy and free.

      I grew up with loads of grapes, a huge pear tree, many plum trees, apples, oranges, grapefruits, pomegranate and walnuts so I can also relate to being able to chill outside and just eat fruit all day lol. But it would have been cool to try those exotic fruits, I've never eaten a single one or really even seen any. The most exotic we can find in the supemarkets here is a lychee.

    Love the top 10. I'm going to see what I can grow here. Agree with you on the dragon fruit. Got to see if I can get a yellow one. Also love the Atemoyas. Can't wait for mango month. I used to have a Keitt mango tree--huge mangoes, like footballs. Not fibrous, and a lot less sweet than a Hayden. Enjoy the mangoes. Good luck.

    How about some love for the forgotten Black Sapote fruit, a.k.a. chocolate pudding fruit? You would love it if you tried a really ripe one. Maybe not a top 10, perhaps #11?

    Cherimoya are one of my all-time favorite fruits, and I so badly want to try some of the others in the anona family, but even finding a cherimoya is hard outside of a pretty narrow seasonal window when the ethnic grocers have them for a couple weeks each year.

    YOOO achacha! I forgot this fruit existed!! That is probably my favourite as well. And I also dramatically announce “achacha!” Upon finding them in my local supermarket. They are so dang good. The texture and the flavour, it’s perfect. “Beautiful flavour” is spot on.

    @Kikilang60 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    You are in a fruit lock state of mind. You are think fruit, as in sweet, there are fruits that are good, but are not sweet. Avocado are common, but damn, they are so good. The same is true for tomatos. I mean, you have to cook them, but imagine world without pizza? What about chillis. I love hot foods. The world without hot sauce, shoot me. What about squash, not my favorite, but still good. You should do a video on non sweet fruits that are good.

    The way he says lychee makes me cringe a bit. We say it like “lie chee”, but they might say it different!

    • @WeirdExplorer
      @WeirdExplorer 5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I had a Chinese girlfriend that pronounced it as "Lee chee". I believe that's the Mandarin pronunciation. In Cantonese I think it is "Lie chee". Neither pronunciation is correct technically since there should be a T and Z sound in there but that is beyond my oral abilities.

    Some of my favourites;
    White Shatoot Mulberry - A long white mulberry with an explosion of vanilla and sweetness
    White sapote - Custard bannana pineapple
    Feijoa - Tart and Sweet hints of lemon and pineapple
    White adriatic fig - had one in my parents yard for years and the flavor is always amazing, sweet and moist
    Finger limes - Small caviar-like citrus balls explode in your mouth, very interesting fruit and great for garnishing

    Marathoning your episodes again, Salacca Wallichiana is my favorite fruit ever, every time i go back to Thailand I eat obscene amounts of them, about 30 minutes away where I stay in the south there is a huge farm of them and man you do NOT want to fall on those trees, but they're too good to stay away from the tree! lol

    Thank you for providing links to the follow up Top 10 in the description. It was the first thing I thought of, when I saw the video is from 2015. :-)
    p.s. We are creating a food forest in Thailand, these videos will be an inspiration for future additions!
    Regaring the list in this video:
    10. We got Lichee, Longan, and Rambutan. I will definitely look for Pulasan.
    9. We got them. It's almost impossible to stop eating them, once you started.
    8. Got 2 trees, and I totally agree... there is nothing special about them regarding taste, but great to eat without anything added,
    7. We got the white and red, still looking for the yellow one.
    6. I recently planted one, but I have yet to taste the fruit.
    5. I don;t like Sala, so we don't have it (yet), hehe.
    4. and 3. sound super interesting... I want them both!
    2. We got a few varieties of Sugar Apples
    1. We got the puple Magosteen, looking for yellow, and never heard of Achacha, I hope I can get it.
