Plantains when they're fried.
By themselves, mangoes are pretty top tier

I'm not really a fan. They have a certain light taste of black pepper that ruins them for me. I guess I'm sort of like the cilantro-soap people.

Perfectly ripe cherries, pitted and frozen
I really like pears.
every other one and none of them. fruits are distincitive. I love apples, grapes, oranges, kiwi, watermelon, etc etc
I love mango especially because it can be frozen & it doesn't breakdown the texture nor the flavour. It one of the only frozen fruits I can get from grocery store that I can eat out of the package (vs. most frozen fruit is only good for smoothies etc IMO). My favorite is plums, but only from my granma's tree. Nothing sold in stores would ever be labeled "plum" if it were up to me. I also like pineapple alot. Apples, oranges, peaches, while sometimes store bought you might get a good one once in a while, homegrown (or local....basically fresh) fruit has no equal. But i practically live off fruit except during the 3 winter months.
Kiwi. I love kiwi so much, I eat the fuzzy skin too!
Love kiwis but I get some kind of allergic reaction whenever I eat them.

Refrigerate your mangos before eating! So much nicer than a lukewarm mango.

Garcinia fruit (mangosteens and such, no relation to mangoes).
My family actually had this conversation the other day. I decided it was lanzones.
Pakistani mangoes
Especially if they are shipped in a crate that has been inconspicuously loaded onto an airplane.
Lychee or starfruit... and sometimes durian
I'm not a fan of the skin on starfruit, but the taste is fantastic. OTOH, if even half of what I've heard about durian is correct, that's quite the bold statement to make there
Carambola grows here, the starfruit. We had trees of it and I find it unremarkable in flavor. Like, it's ok but certainly not a top fruit flavor for me. They are very easy to grow, and very productive trees, not pretty but the fruit stays low enough to pick easily.
Durian I just can't.
Jackfruit
