I'm a Granny Smith pervert.

I also eat lots of bananas and buckets! of frozen blueberries. Not much else as far as fruit goes.

I usually bring an apple a day to school, and sometimes have one afterwards too. I haven't had too many as I've been home for a while, and my parents only by Granny Smith's, which though delicious get boring after a couple of months. I need variety!!! Hopefully they'll buy something else one of these days...

I'm lazy. I drink pressed apple juice rather than apples. Doesn't get stuck in your teeth at least :grin:

I have two recommendations for you: Pippin apples and Honey Crisp apples.

I went through an apple revelation similar to yours a few years ago when a dietician recommended them as a better way to get increased fiber than pills. I eat one or two a day still, but back then we had a good farmer's market that carried the two above regularly, in addition to the usual suspects.

The Pippin is a classic green apple, not as firm or tart as a Granny Smith, and with a softer skin. They can be a little hard to find, at least here in Georgia, but they're worth seeking out.

Honey Crisps are a relatively new variety and are becoming more popular all the time. They have a perfectly balanced sweetness, and unlike a Granny Smith they won't interfere with other flavors.

Granny Smith's are the best travelling apples, IMHO, because they're so hard with such a good skin that they can take getting dinged around without being damaged or pierced. A GS doesn't go with a lot of foods and drinks (Milk, coffee, Coke, etc.) and so I usually eat them only as a between meals snack.

All three of these apples are on the firm side, and are durable for keeping around the house. I'm personally not a big fan of the soft apples, but I buy a McIntosh every so often just for the experience.

Honey crisps ROCK! They're the only apple my little lemurs eat. No trouble getting them to eat their fruit in a house stocked with honey crisps, bananas, tangerines and grapes.

My mom said Golden Delicious are good, so I bought some of them, not regularly but they taste fine, those honey things sound good if I can find them, I'll give them a try. :2thumbsup:

I have fallen in love with Nashi, or pear apples as they are called also. The fruit are less sweeter then pears and less solid then apples and have a fine refreshing taste. I recommend these delicious things to anyone who can get those in their hands.:jumping:

Interesting you should say apples. According to QI Turkey consumes more apples than any other country in the world. :laugh4:

Me, I like apples, though I don't know what kind they are. We actually have an apple tree and my grandmother used to make apple pies from it's apples.

There is one type of apple that I have never seen in a supermarket, never bought commercialy, but they are the best apples ever. Lord Lambourne (sp?)variety, small but the flavour is amazing.

Motep

12-31-2007, 09:16

Granny smith's. Lovely taste, size, and firm. Oddly enough, I like mixing them with Tropicana simply pure orange juice. Also, they are durable enough and keep well enough so that when I get a craving for a hoarde of oranges, I can indulge safely.

Apple pie is good, but nothing beats our family's sweet 'tater pie. (not potato, but 'tater)

Small, red apples amazingly delicious. There was a tree, about twenty years ago, at mom's village and I would eat dozens of what was called "honey apples" there. Now, that was the sole exception to my apple dislike. Can you be talking about the same stuff Jubal? Interesting...

For about a month or so I can't do without apples, at least two a day. Yesterday it was five. I'm that kind of a person who can devour kilos of peaches or oranges, or half a watermelon at once. I love fruits!

You really need to kick the habit mouz

Of course, Washington is the apple state in the US, so I guess I get a broader selection.

So what's about it worth making a thread?

I'm 32 years old. All in my life I had probably eaten no more than a hundred apples. I never wanted it. I even refused when offered at times, in contrast with my behaviour.

For about a month or so I can't do without apples, at least two a day. Yesterday it was five. I'm that kind of a person who can devour kilos of peaches or oranges, or half a watermelon at once. I love fruits! But apples were a hard exception, until recently.

Not that I'm complaining but it's very interesting. :yes:
.

Mouza, you know how to attract my attention :bow: . I never expected to see thread like this... :2thumbsup:

To tell you the truth I prefer oranges. It is hard to say why...

Maybe because my mother likes them.

And I have the habit to be quite opportunistic from time to time. :beam:

well if region has anything to do with i live in new jersey and love my tomatoes. Oh we grow the most delicious ones in our garden out back, all kinds, and they are delicious. Reds and yellows, big and small, round and abnormal. just perfect for salads, sauces, soups, and sliced for bruschetta, basil, and mozzarella. Ah, nothing like a small sweet cherry tomato in the summer heat or a fresh slice on a high piled sandwich.

and tomato is a fruit.:tomato:

Fuji, Fiji, whatever. I think they're my new favorite. Nice and firm, taste and look like a blend of my two favorite kinds, red and yellow. Pleasant, distinctive, and complex taste.

As a matter of fact, they're exactly what I like on a woman!

Geoffrey S

03-25-2008, 17:33

That was strange. As a matter of fact, I just ate an apple (Jonagold) and while I've had irritated skin inside my mouth after eating an apple before, this time it really felt like something was constricting my throat for a quarter of an hour. Creepy.

How amazing, Mozaphere. I went through a very similar 'rediscovery' of fruit in general several years ago, apples in particular within the past year. I wonder if your body craves some inherent substance found in apples more as your body gets older (like arsenic).

I rotate which ones I eat. I started with Red Delicious, but I'm not such a big fan of them anymore. Not enough taste. I rotate between the light, delicate slightly spicy flavor apples like Fuji and Gala to the tart/complex Macintosh/Braeburn variety. But I'll take any of them, even Red Delicious.

I'm also addicted to pears (partial to Bartletts and Anjou), oranges (California navel are best for eating... I find peeling oranges and eating the individual sections oddly calming) bananas (I don't think you get too many varieties of these) and plums. I like grapes and cherries, but they don't carry in a lunch bag as well.

I thought tomatoes were technically a fruit, because of the sugar content (which is how that distinction gets made).

I don't discriminate between colours but nothing can beat the red jewel from the heart of Kappadokia Pontika (Amasya).

It's quite expensive compared to the ordinary kinds yet worth every penny. :yes:

No, technically, tomatoes are fruit. Anything with seeds is a plant ovary (i.e. fruit).

How can anyone like red delicious? So for me it's fujis, Jonathans, galas, give me something with flavor and crispness!

Big_John

03-25-2008, 23:20

been on a bit of a citrus kick for quite a while now. but as far as apples go, i'm partial to gala, fuji and pink lady. golden delicious is the old standby, though.

I love Jonathans, but they're only available for a short season, so I usually end up stuck with a more durable variety.

I nice way to eat apples is to cut them in half, carve out the seeds, spread peanut butter on them and stick a bunch of chocolate chips or raisins in the peanut butter. Works very well with bananas too. Not so much oranges.

Husar

03-26-2008, 08:23

Peanut butter?????
Sounds really....urgh.

A good way to eat apples is to put them into a pancake or an apple turnover IMO.

I like Pink Lady...not as artificial as other breeds.

We have a historical trail in my hometown & it is dedicated to Albertus Magnus, a Dominican friar and priest who achieved fame for his comprehensive knowledge of and advocacy for the peaceful coexistence of science and religion. Besides that wiki-knowledge he was a very dedicated friend of nature and described a lot of plants and their effects on health.

On this trail now, one can find old fruit breeds...amongst are tiny green-red apples & those taste very fruity & awesome. I always try to steal a few from the trees...Those apples stay fresh for weeks and weks, it is incredible. Hmmmm...apples.....

I like oranges as well, the chance that they're 'not good' in much bigger than with apples.

I'm eating the worst kind of apple I've experienced in my life. I don't remember what kind it is but it's reddish, taller than wide, has a slightly sour taste to it, and if sand could get soggy that's what it would be like inside.

He's the Shinigami (Death God) named Ryuk from the manga/anime Death Note who's exceptionally known as his addiction of apples after discovering them during his visit on earth.
