I have issues with lots of fruit texture, too. Pears are gritty. Bananas--ugh, just can't deal with those at all. Plums, nectarines, grapes, blueberries, and strawberries can all be OK. Apples sometimes. Some melons. I think what's hard for me about eating fruit is that, unless you put it on cereal (or make it into a dessert), it's like, "OK, I'm gonna eat this piece of fruit now!" While veggies are much easier to just incorporate into a meal, at least for me. Like pasta with peppers and mushrooms (or broccoli), for example.
