I live in PA and a good, fresh Mcintosh apple from a local farm is my absolute favorite fruit but of course they are only available for a short time in fall, especially the Mcintosh because they are a soft apple and don't store well. I just bought some from the grocery store because i thought they looked ok but they are gross and mealy. In winter I look forward to grapefruit; spring and summer my favorites are blueberries, strawberries, and watermelon. I imagine fruits and veggies probably taste better if you live in the southern US because they spend less time on a truck and I'd honestly rather eat mushy canned fruit or frozen rather than eat any of my favorite fruits out of season.
