What is your most memorable fruit harvesting experience? (slrpnk.net)

Have you ever had an especially rewarding, adventurous, dangerous, or really stupid experience of harvesting/foraging fruit?

I tend to live a sheltered life, so I don't have anything too exciting to share. I've harvested bananas with a hornets' nest on the underside of a leaf multiple times, but nothing unusual ever happened. I've gone wading through the swamp looking for aguaje, but the anacondas had already been hunted to extinction in that area. I've stood under a fruiting durian tree without a helmet, but it seems that durians don't just fall from the sky when I'm hungry.

Does anyone have an exciting or uplifting story to share?

That's the way. Grow so much fruit that the neighbours can have as much as they want. Were the avocados any good on their own?

Good enough for cooking, yes.

If you have to cook it, I would question whether it is food, but at least you got some use out of all of that fruit.
