  I like the peaches best. I love fruit cocktail! Especially in a trifle.

  I love the cherries. I'm going to get myself some of this this week. I haven't had any for ages.

  My wife says she likes the fruit, the tin just isn't for her... strange woman.

  It would have to be the cherry.
  
  The peach, grape and pineapple always seem to merge into one washed out taste and whilst never being a fan of pears they seem particularly horrible in fruit cocktail. I think it's the overly grainy texture.
  
  I've never seen the appeal of fruit cocktail and it's only purpose seems to be to ruin a trifle. When Mum realised I wouldn't eat fruit cocktail she started making trifle with other tinned fruit, it always went a lot quicker then the fruit cocktail version so I clearly wasn't alone.

  I agree, can't think of many things out of a tin I would less like.

  Cherries and grapes are my favourite. But I only ever used to use a can of fruit cocktail when I made a trifle.

  Ten times worse if it's in syrup as opposed to fruit juice.

  Tinned fruit cocktail was the sort of thing we'd have on a Sunday at teatime. I've no idea why.
  
  Nowadays, the only tinned fruit I'd consider eating is pineapple.
