My favourite fruit is raspberries and I like them with lots of toppings and other fruit. 😊
I like raspberries as well!
I voted raspberries too 
I voted strawberries but I love all other fruits!
I voted Rasberries but I like all the other fruits. Although fruits are healthy as I avoid sugar I am careful to moderate them. Raspberries are quite expensive so easy to moderate but I could keep going forever with strawberries now they are in season! 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓😂
Grapes... But allergic to most fruit due to all the pips and seeds!
I’ve voted for raspberries, but I have to say I love all the other fruits mentioned too.
I love all f them but cherries and nectarines are probably my favourites.
Hi Jerry black seedless grapes as good flavour go nice in fruit salad and high antioxidant and good for lowering cholesterol 😊
Water melon
Figs
Hi Hidden ,
Great poll! My favorite fruit is blueberries, but I also like green and red grapes that are seedless. I also like raspberry and watermelon as my 3 other types of fruit(s).😀👍🫐🍇
I like Watermelon too Leah. 😋
Hi Leah I like the yellow watermelon in fruit salad with black grapes and tin mandarins lol I love pink grapefruit juice it's been hard to find it purifies the blood that's my 4 choices 😂😻pixie doesn't like fruit 😸
I’ve never had yellow watermelon,Mandy. Pink grapefruit juice, freshly squeezed over ice with a dash of cherry juice. Hmm.
I can't have I've or cold as of my nuralgia just on way to docs for my bloods cholestrol liver etc 😊🙋
Sorry, Mandy. Hope your tests turn out well.❤️🏄♀️
Thanks I had cheese when got back hope my cholestrols ok or won't be having much cheese at all 🙋🌜😻just off to find some soap on TV that is lol have a good night 🇬🇧🤗
Hope it goes well Mandy. 🙂
Thanks what a idiot I forgot to ask for blood pressure have a good night 🙋🌜😻🇬🇧🤗
My GP advised me to get a blood pressure monitor and I’m glad I did. Might be worth thinking about it, although you may not need to. 🙂
Good night. 🙂
Good night yes it was border line last time but I'd been stressed and over done it got blood shot eye so at the time if you remember he said may be blood pressure I feel my heart pound if annoyed or if stressed yes I'll look in town next time go night night 🤗😸🌜
Yes I do remember. I think mine was about £25. 🙂
Yellow skin lol 😂😻
The banana I eat after my run. 🍌
Rhubarb! But is it a fruit?
How do you eat rhubarb? Raw in salad?I cook it for sauce or jam. Sometimes bake.
My favourite is Victoria plums, second favourite is peaches but only if they are juicy. When you buy them from the supermarket they can be dry. 🙂
So true I hate it when you bite the stone in middle accidently I been buying tin ones and washing syrup off 🤦😂🙋
Good idea Mandy, you can be sure they will be juicy. I think you may be able to get them in juice too. 🙂
I’m thinking about the best peach I have ever eaten. It was many years ago on a very hot summers day, I had just got off the bus and I bought it from a stall. It was warm, absolutely delicious and so juicy, the juice ran down my chin. Haven’t had one which could compare ever since. 🙂😋
Have stalls become scarce? They have here in the US. The best peaches!
We’re very fortunate to have three in our high street, but I haven’t been able to buy my fruit and veg there for a while. I’m thinking about having a veg. box delivery from a small local company again, it’s more expensive but much better quality. BTW I like your new avatar Isinatra, do you mind me asking, is it Medusa? 🙂
Treat yourself to the “better” once in a while. You deserve it. Lol Now that you mention it, Rach, it does look like Medusa. But I’ve never seen her with that color of hair. Lol Secret….I wore my hair like that once.
Thank you. Yes, I think I will. Thought it may have been using poetic licence, very striking I love it. 🙂👍
Thank you, you’re too kind. 😊
I bought some just like that a few days ago R, really delicious and so juicy and I still have one left for tomorrow. 😋
I’m licking my lips springcross. Did you buy them from a supermarket? 🙂
Yes, S. On the receipt it says a punnet of 4, but there was actually five and they were like cricket balls. Someone on here (HE) mentioned about putting them in brown paper bags so I did and it ripened them an absolute treat after just a couple of days, they were gorgeous and so juicy. xx
👍🏼
Was it you who said it?
No, I think it was BT or Rachmaninov?
Ah, it was a brilliant tip.
Not me, I think it was BT. 🙂
It was me 👍I always do it with pears even the ones that say ready to eat normally get delivered as hard as rocks 😂
Well it was a brilliant tip BT, thanks. Can you tell R where she can get brown paper bags from?
I usually "acquire" a couple from the fruit and veg shop some of them starting to get them back now because of the plastic waste 👍
Do you remember how the shopkeeper used to hold the two corners and then twirl the bag around to close the top. 🙂
I do remember it R and very well too, especially in the sweet shop! 😋😂😂
The little white paper bags. 🙂
Yes, the good ol' days! 😊
For two ounces of sweets. 🙂
Tuppence worth! 😊
I remember that! Scarey how many things you forget over the years 😳
It really is I agree. xx
Sorry BT, I thought that was for me! Whoops!
We’re all in this together. 🙂👍
👍😊
It’s all there just waiting for something to bring it to mind. It’s just as they say, sometimes it’s easier to remember what happened many years ago than what happened yesterday. 🙂🤔
That’s a good tip, now I just need to get hold of a brown paper bag. They seem to be few and far between these days. 🙂
I used the brown bags that our pasties were in from the bakers otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do it, seriously. 😂😂 How about a veggie pasty or two R? xx
Yes please, can you send me some virtually in a brown bag springcross. 🙂
😂 😂 If I could I would R. ✈
Hubby just reminded me you can get the brown paper bags in T in place of the plastic bags. I'd forgotten about that R.
Please thank your hubby springcross, it’s good to know that T is bringing them back. 🙂
They've actually been supplying them for a while now. 😊
Are you having problems with the page scroll on here when clicking on alerts?
I was having problems this morning, but I don’t think so now.
Mine started about an hour ago. If it continues, I will have to report it.
I know it had been very slow.
Mine was awfully slow for about four days, it was driving me mad - it seems OK now but the non scrolling has taken its place!!
I’ve always experienced when a poll is posted and I answer an alert, i have to manually scroll through all comments to the reply I’m looking for. Thought it was normal.🤔
No, that isn't normal, it should automatically scroll no matter what. I don't think I've ever experienced it during a poll before but have with the alerts a few times as have many others. It it's that bad for you, email HU and they will look into it for you as it's a real nuisance and can take a while to find each post depending on how busy it's been.
Yes, I thought it was normal too. 🙂
You get problems during polls too then R?
Yes but like Isinatra, I didn’t realise it was a problem.
It takes a while to find each one and I can't remember it happening before on a poll!
It does always seem to happen when there's a poll don't it?
Always in a poll, Rach. When it’s a long one like this , it is irritating. I will report it if I can figure out where to go. 🤪
I’m mean B. Lol I’m dizzy from scrolling. Lol
Apparently it usually happens so that's that. I am going to check some of the past polls to see what happens on them. It's a real nuisance.
I've messaged Jerry to ask if this should happen during a poll (as I said, I can't remember it ever happening before but that could be my memory) as it is irritating and very time consuming. I'll let you know what he says. 😊
Edit: He's put a post up about it.
Thank you for doing that springcross. 🙂🤞
👍😊
Unfortunately, no luck R - apparently it usually happens on the polls especially when there's lot of replies. I can't remember that but maybe HE and PWB were different in that respect or maybe I'm just plain wrong!!! 🙃🙃
Polls have always been like this from my memory and I've set quite a few polls.
It's obviously my memory then!🙃
It seems happen more in this room than others in my experience
Yes, takes ages to find a post.
It's really annoying isn't it Rosepetal!
Time wasting looking up and down to find the post. Yes annoying.
Pasties? I could just go a bakery pasty right now 😋
Which one do you like? I like the cheese and onion, chicken & veg or the Levi Roots Reggae Reggae chicken. 😋😋😋
The only bakery pasties I’ve had were when I’ve been on holiday in Cornwall. The traditional Cornish pasties, which were wonderful. I would like cheese and onion too. 🙂👍😋
My mum used to make corned beef pasties and they were wonderful, makes my mouth water just thinking about it. I can make them but they aren't as good as hers were. xx
I hadn’t thought of corned beef pasties, very tasty. I bet her pastry was good. I love the tradition behind the pasties too. 🙂
Yes, she always used short crust. 😋 Greggs sell corned beef slices but they are quite salty and I also find them too oily/greasy underneath. 😊
I like shortcrust, we were taught half marg. half lard. I must be the only person who hasn’t shopped in Greggs. David Greig is another matter, but all gone now unfortunately. 🙂
That's what she used to use - always the same brands. As regards the corned beef slices, I maybe shouldn't have used the name of the shop!! 😕
It’s OK really, you are not gaining anything from it. 🙂
Half stork and half lard with a little cow on the packet as I remember? 😁
I think the lard may have been Spry. 🙂🤔
My mum used to use Stork and Danelard.
Yes Stork, but I haven’t heard of Danelard. 🙂
I haven't seen it for years so assume it's no longer available but like my mum, also used it long after we got married until all the news about butter, lard etc being bad came out.
The ‘conversations’ on here have shown me how much my diet has changed. As you say springcross, there is a lot of information (although sometimes conflicting) available now to help us make healthier choices. 🙂🤔
Yes it's strange sometimes just how conflicting info can be. 🙄
As BT says, it’s best to eat everything in moderation. 🙂😇
😁 xx
I'd always go for the cheese and onion or the cornish pasty 😋
👍😊
Have to buy them now. No freebies anymore.🙁
You can actually get the brown paper bags free with the fruit and veg from the stall, but as I can’t get to the stall I can’t get the veg or the bags. It’s a conundrum. 🤔🙃
Neighbors that would save them for you, R?
Thank you for the suggestion Isinatra, many years ago there was a great community spirit but things change. 🙂
That is a shame, Rach. Sometimes I think it has to do with trusting one another. People dont want to get too close anymore. BTW, a new avatar? Would those be blueberries? I’ll have to check your profile to get a closer look. Even with my specs….
Years ago we lived in a completely different kind of society, more time to chat, fewer cars so more people in the street. The chance to become friendly with the people living nearby.
Yes, I change it every day. I know, even with my specs .........too. To save you the trouble of checking they are nigella flowers, but you are right they do look like blueberries. 🙂
Ok. Not blueberries, but some pretty blue flowers! From your garden?
Yes, I try to get out into the garden first thing every morning when it’s quiet, only the birds about. If it has been raining overnight the flowers look so beautiful with the raindrops on the petals. That’s when I like to take a few photos, you can be sure that there will be something new to capture. Changed avatar to show you a beautiful rose with raindrops on petals, hope you are able to see it.
Do you have a garden Isinatra? 🙂
Oh, no. My property is surrounded by oak trees. Nothing grows in my yard from lack of sunlight. I would love to have even a small garden with lots of color like yours. Or some potted tomato plants. I could chase the few spots of sunlight around with my pots, but my neighbors would think me dafter. Lol
That’s a real shame, I think you would be a brilliant gardener. Did you ever consider window boxes if there was enough light? Or maybe some indoor plants if you don’t already have some. Nature and colour are so important for our wellbeing. Hope you have some parks nearby. 🙂
When in the past, I had some special plants, I did ok. Looking at all the pretty pictures of blooming plants here definitely makes me wish I had some. I do have a few azalea bushes and blooming magnolia trees. So my yard isn’t a complete wasteland. But your idea of inside plants …..that’s something to think about again. I have one sunlit spot in my backyard that I’ve been eyeing for planting an avocado tree. Now that my area has increased in rain and heat over the past few years, it might just be doable.
Are your azaleas and magnolias doing well? I haven’t had a magnolia, but I know they can grow to quite a size over the years. I have two avocado trees grown from stones, I have to keep cutting them back as they are growing so fast, but I don’t expect any fruit as our climate isn’t right for them. I hope you are able to give it a go, you would probably be lucky with the fruit. 🙂👍🥑
Why am I not surprised that you have Avocado trees? With climate change there’s still a chance they could bear fruit, who knows? Like you, I was going to try to grow the avocado tree from a stone. Good to know it’s possible. Yes, the magnolias are huge. I would say one is at least 70, since it’s against my house which was built in 1943. Thinking the house was built before the tree got a foothold. The scent of the blooms are quite heady.
Yes it’s a possibility. I would be very interested to hear how you get on if you do give it a go.
The magnolia sounds wonderful, it’s great to think that it has survived for so long. 🙂
It is indeed a beautiful rose, R. The colors are so delicate. 🙏
I thought you might like it, I’m glad you did. When the flower first blooms the colour is darker, it then becomes progressively more pale and delicate. 🙂
Cant get any sweeter than juice running down the chin 👌
So true Imaaan, the best ever. 🙂
Hi Imaaan! Another new avatar! I can’t keep up! But it’s fun. Adds a bit of spice to the cooking channel. I’ll have to check your profile also to get a better look. Have to figure out what’s behind those soulful eyes.
Wow! Your avatar is another beauty. 👍🏼
I agree, it’s a real beauty. 🙂
You can enlarge the avatar here with your fingers, but I don’t know how to describe how I do it. 🙂👍
You’re quick, R! Another pretty! I’ll try the enlarging. Thank you.
Got it! Wow! Magic fingers! Thank you. ❤️
Hope it saves you having to check profiles. I think it’s called ‘pinch to zoom’, but not very good with technology speak. 🙂👍
I know what you mean and reminder how messy good fruit is I love plumbs too when nice apples no set my nuralgia off and no munching teeth lol I have it grated and slightly cooked in microwave
Hope the dentist can sort your teeth out Mandy, but nice juicy peaches and plums, no problem. 🙂👍
Nice juicy peaches!
I love cherries but also a few of the others too.
Love Blueberries Have them everyday with grapes and branflakes
Dark cherry person here! 🙋♀️
A toss up between mango and pineapple
Hmmmm. Time for breakfast.
Are you having both or either one? 
Excited, hubby just brought me the first Raspberry of the year in .... he knows how to spoil me!!
A real treat kitchengardener. 🙂
Banana
I voted strawberries but I also like Apples, Kiwi's, Bananas, grapes
Strawberries straight from the garden ,Lush 👍
U.K. Strawberries 🍓 plus Raspberries from the garden
Couldn’t be any fresher than straight from the garden Rosepetal. 🙂
You’re right. Not a very good crop last year so hoping for better this year. Holly cat usually dozes in the Raspberry patch, which used to keep the birds away , but I think they’ve caught on, that she not a threat any more.
I’ve got a lovely picture in my mind of Holly cat dozing in the raspberry patch. Have you tried netting over the raspberry canes? 🙂😽
That would be good but the poles would have to be quite high and it’s tricky getting to the fruit.
BLUEBERRIES! No close second 😀
Watermelon
Definitely melon. It's sweet and full of water! Just need a strong 💪 man to carry it for us. 😅
If you can’t find a strong man to carry your melon, ask Imaaan to find an answer. 😁
It has to be strawbs. quintessentially british
A shame that this is only a Single choice Poll, I'm sure many of us have many 'Favourites'........
AndrewT
I picked strawberries but now I've had a rethink and going with blueberries! x
I love blueberries but strawberries are a close second!!!
For me cherries all day long
South African Flavour King plums, but I can't find any this year :l
This is a tough one! I like blueberries, raspberries and strawberries equaly.
My favourite fruit is strawberries but I like the other fruit that was mentioned as well. I love my fruit with the natural onken, cereal. As a rare treat I enjoy them on top of a pancake, merringue and pavlova.
Another great survey to promote healthy eating.
