What is your favorite fruit or vegetable? (Please stay on topic)
A fruit salad with a combination of Bananas, Dates, Grapes, Kiwi, Nuts, Honey, Oranges and Apples.
Favorite Fruit: Kiwi or Bananas
Favorite Vegetable: Tomato
6:141 (Y. Ali) It is He Who produceth gardens, with trellises and without, and dates, and tilth with produce of all kinds, and olives and pomegranates, similar (in kind) and different (in variety): eat of their fruit in their season, but render the dues that are proper on the day that the harvest is gathered. But waste not by excess: for Allah loveth not the wasters.
13:4 (Y. Ali) And in the earth are tracts (diverse though) neighbouring, and gardens of vines and fields sown with corn, and palm trees - growing out of single roots or otherwise: watered with the same water, yet some of them We make more excellent than others to eat. Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who understand!
16:11 (Y. Ali) With it He produces for you corn, olives, date-palms, grapes and every kind of fruit: verily in this is a sign for those who give thought.
56:29 (Y. Ali) Among Talh (Bananas) trees with flowers (or fruits) piled one above another,-
95:1 (Y. Ali) By the Fig and the Olive,
2:61 (Y. Ali) And remember ye said: "O Moses! we cannot endure one kind of food (always); so beseech thy Lord for us to produce for us of what the earth groweth, -its pot-herbs, and cucumbers, Its garlic, lentils, and onions." He said: "Will ye exchange the better for the worse? Go ye down to any town, and ye shall find what ye want!" They were covered with humiliation and misery; they drew on themselves the wrath of Allah. This because they went on rejecting the Signs of Allah and slaying His Messengers without just cause. This because they rebelled and went on transgressing.
19:25 (Y. Ali) "And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree: It will let fall fresh ripe dates upon thee.
My fave geeky Fruitz are: Oranges, Cherries, Strawberries,Grapes, Green Apples, and more, but i cant remmeber the names sorry

"Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), Al-Hayyul-Qayyum (the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists).".."[Al Qur'aan 3:2]
Fruit: dates (fresh and dried), bananas, granadillas, sweet mellon, spanspek, pawpaw/ papaya, watermelon, grapes (black, green, red), mangoes (round ones and long ones and the green ones in a pickle), strawberries, cherries < I can finish a whole punnet on my own , pineapple, pears, peaches (especially cling peaches), plums, apricots < we call them "mish mish" in our house, it's the arabic word and it sounds much cuter :X, apples (in fruitsalad), oranges, kiwi fruit, avocado pear (in dessert), prunes.
Unfortunately I don't particularly like the taste of figs and olives and neither do I like pomegranates coz they difficult to eat :X but I feel bad coz these are mentioned in the Quraan
Vegetables: lettuce, cucumber, carrots, cauliflower, sweet potato, butternut, gem squash, baby marrow, patty pan, corn/ mealies, broccoli, green beans, madoombi (lol I dunno what's the other name for this :X), bindi, karela< dunno the english names, they are Indian names :X, eggplant, spinach , onions (cooked), shalot (in egg), peppers (cooked).
There's probably a few that I've forgotten. I'll post again when I remember.
The Granadillas are a fruit native to Ecuador. (How does it taste?)
The South Africans call cantaloupes spanspek which is actually named after the papal garden of Cantaloupe, Italy where is was cultivated in the sixteenth century. Cantaloupes date back before Isa (AS) 2400 BCE
There is no way I could name a favorite fruit or vegetable and have the list stay consistent from day to day.
My likes will differ from day to day and sometimes even in the same day. I would say my tastes are very much determined by the climate, weather, season of the year, time of day, my own mood (Happy, sad, pensive etc), and how long it has been since I last had something. I believe it would be safe to say that at some point in a year each and every fruit will at one time be my favorite.
One exception: Tomatoes, (My hidden secret, I detest them) I can not stand the taste of tomatoes in any form or in any sauce, salad, soup, etc.
But I always end up putting them in almost everything I cook as they seem to have become an ingredient in every thing.
I feel like a traitor to cooking now that I let the world know my dark, hidden secret. GADS, admitting I hate tomatoes is like I just made my worse sin public.
