Whatever happened to the Canadian Winesap?
The Winesap sticks in my memory as everything an apple should be.
It was large, bright red, sweet and straight out of a children's picture book.
I haven't seen one in years.
Choice at the market this morning was Braeburn, Royal Gala and Cox's.
Russetts put in a seasonal appearance and French Golden Delicious are usually there somewhere but I pay that variety scant attention.
My old horse was quite partial to a Golden Delicious - was anything ever more deceitfully described? - but he was also a voracious consumer of carrots in industrial quantities so was not to be relied upon in matters of good taste.
