Red Apples are mushy like Green Apples are much better.

I think we all agree with that one! We'll it is a common feeling around here anyway.

Sometimes I find a good Gala or Fuji. As a kid I remember standing on my horse to reach that very large golden at the top of the lone apple tree.

You'll never find that one in a store.

Had a good Cortland yesterday. Mmm.

I like the jonagold.

That's because the Delicious doesn't keep so well on the shelf -- straight off the tree and dripping with their inner juices, then you know where the name came from. But it has to have come off the tree in that day or two.

Second the notion on the Fujis and Galas -- much better eatin' over time, and likewise the Granny Smiths for their proper application as bakin' apples. I'll have to give organic ugly apples a real taste test sometime.

I keep imagining Granny Smith wearing green dresses in life.

Pink Lady apples are very yummy.

I like Green apples better though.

Most people eat Red Delicious because most outlets sell them exclusively, and have for some time. A couple of generations don't know anything else, unless they live next to an orchard like I do. Shame.

Do you like those in particular? I'm going to expand my fruit trees after I put up a goat fence.... man needs his cheese as well.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-03-2007, 08:33 AM

Yes, great for cooking, slightly tart tang eating. Not popular because of the mottled skin makes them poor for still life painting unless you're really good.

Those are good too, but I've never seen one in a grocery store, and the oldest one I've ever eaten had been picked about a week earlier. Gotta go to the source to get one.

True, never in the store, only orchards have them because they aren't grown in great quantity. I'm fortunate to be close.

Ya'lls are gonna have to get the book "botany of desire" for some real apple talk. Great book.
