Grape (Thomson seedless)
Peach (freestone, properly ripe, not ones ruined by cold storage (which are most))
Mango (good variety, properly ripe)
Strawberry (local, in season)
Apple (Macintosh, in season, not stored for 8 months)
Orange (Navel)
Pineapple
Watermelon
Banana
Pear
Melon
Plum
Pomegranate
Many of these are hit or miss; they can be good or not so good depending on growing conditions, ripeness when picked, storage etc, and you can't tell in the store.
You can buy one basket of peaches and they are great, then the next week buy another basket from the same store and they are awful and never ripen, only rot.
Mangos are another example. Some are delicious, others have turpentine undertones.
I find pears on rare occasions are really good, but usually not.
I never cared for any melons, other than watermelon.
Rarely had plums. The only ones I've had were wild and sour.
Never had pomegranate since quite young, but I recall not enjoying it.
