depends on the fruit! strawberries, blueberries, etc, i prefer chilled. apples could go either way, bananas most definitely room temp. and as i was eating a nectarine tonight, i couldn't help but think that i preferred it room temp! i think it gets juicier.

if they are cutting up the mango, papaya and pineapple and then serving, i think they could leave it out until they cut and then chill. i would eat any and all of those either way especially when fresh and freshly cut! yum!

For me, apples and watermelon need to be refrigerated.

Everything else can be room temp!

I eat almost all of my fruit room temperature- I don't like it cold! The only exceptions for me are watermelon and grapes.

When I was pregnant, I craved cold watermelon and room-temperature pineapple.

I like all of it room temp except watermelon and grapes!

I prefer chilled, but would understand if I were in a place where it isn't the norm.

I love mangoes, papayas... any exotic fruits really... room temp! Actually, I like most fruits room temp (berries, melons, etc).

Grapes I like frozen.
Watermelons and apples I like chilled.

For most fruit, I like it room temperature. These days we keep all of our fruit in the fridge and I'll often leave it on the counter or run it under warm water to take the chill out.

Room Temp: apples, oranges, plums, peaches, bananas

Slight Chill: sliced pineapple, grapes, berries, sliced melon (this has more to do with the packaging from the grocery store rather than temp preference)

Except for watermelon on a hot day, room temperature, please! I think fruit gets juicier and has more flavor that way.

I think room temp is fine for most fruits - the exception would be grapes and watermelom, I prefer them cold

Watermelon and strawberry are the only fruits that I like refrigerated

Definitely chilled!

I prefer room temp for the most part, especially mangoes and pineapple.

Room temp all the way!!!

They taste juicier and I have sensitive teeth, so biting into something that cold is uncomfortable. We refrigerate berries and things with a shorter shelf life, but I run them under warm water before eating for cleaning and warming up a bit.

Depends on the fruit!!!!

Personally, the types of fruit you mentioned I'd prefer chilled. I'm assuming it's very hot where they are so I think cool pineapple would be really refreshing! At home id eat it eithe way, but I think on vacation in a hot area chilled would be preferred for me!

I love fresh fruit at room temperature. Some fruits I think taste better cold, though like grapes. I do keep my apples and oranges at room temp!

Depends on the fruit.

Room temp: bananas, oranges/other citrus
Chilled: watermelon, papaya, pineapple, mangoes
