    Figs are way better than apples which are very popular for some reason. They’re at least as tasty as a banana. I actually think the average fig is better than the average strawberry. Too many big bland strawberries.

        Of the many dozens of different apples I’ve had, none have deserved to be as popular as they are. I suspect people just like the crunch; flavor-wise I’m unimpressed. The best thing about apples is apple pie.

        I have had many great and terrible strawberries. I think the average is disappointing. The best are indeed kings and better than figs. Maybe I’ve just been lucky with figs, but they’ve all been better than the average strawberry. My personal favorite is a plum but to get a plum that’s better than the best strawberry is exceedingly difficult.
