I'm sorry but apples are just garbage fruit. People always come back with "but have you tried honeycrisp?" to which I always ask - have you tried literally any tropical fruit?
The best apple in the world is just dull compared to a mango, papaya, passion fruit, pineapple, lychee, mangosteen...
I like the crispness of apples. Sure mango and pineapple are delicious, but I want to bite into a nice crispy apple. It's a texture thing, not just taste.
Also mangoes have to be imported from far away for me, so they're never fresh or properly ripe.
I lived in the subtropics for a while so had access to fairly fresh tropical fruit. I'm in the PNW now though. Lotta apple fans, lotta fresh apples.
Someone has never had a ripe apple off the tree. Go apple picking and eat them at the farm. You will be eating them as fast as you can.
Although these "rankings" are pretty nuts. Empire and Cortland apples are pretty good, especially when fresh. And he's missing cool varieties like "Winter Banana", which has a light tropical taste. I'd tell you to try that one but you may not live where you can get them.
I live in the PNW, we have plenty fresh apples. I went fruit picking a lot as kid in Australia too, had apples then. Fresh apple off a tree is just not as nice as fresh tropical fruit of any kind.
Apples in the PNW are garbage compared to the North East. You are not eating good apples if they taste bad. It's just that simple.
There are plenty of people who think tropical fruits are bad because they never have fresh ones.
Not bad so much, not always, just palpably less interesting a flavor.
Homie, you live in a state with transplanted apples grown on giant factory farms. Of course they suck. Upstate NY fucking invented hella varieties of apples. They're named after the towns there. You ever hear of a Portland or Spokane apple? Hell no.
Fucking Johnny Appleseed was hucking seeds all over the Northeast just to invent new apples. Do you know what the colonists drank? Cider and applejack. Not much wine or beer.
Do you know why a pineapple is named like an apple? Because an "apple" was just the word for any fruit. Apples are the most important fruit in the English language.

Plus, you didn't even mention the best tropical fruit: soursop. It's like you don't even know what fruit is.
Tropical fruit tastes like candy, almost a sickly sweetness.
I'll take a Granny Smith over a Mango any day. Give me that crisp tartness instead of the mushy sticky sweet mess.

The only thing you've listed that's edible is pineapple.
Hey, don't you talk shit about mangos, buddy
I'm not your buddy, pal. :::shakes fist:::
I'm not your pal, friend!
