Eh, no loss. I'm on a Fuji kick right now. A great apple: light everything -- light sweetness, light crispness.

Apples are a good cultural microcosm. Everybody has thoughts about them, because everybody experienced them. Everybody can differentiate about different types. And nobody really cares. They just prefer what they prefer.

Can I go on the record in saying I don’t like eating apples.

I can handle apple pie ala mode. And even apple sauce and certainly apple juice.

But I simply dont enjoy biting into a real apple. Gives me a bellyache.

Honeycrisp FTW

Me too -- until they figured out a way to make them available out of season, when they're not nearly so good IMO.

[jon-nyc]

I only eat them fall and winter. Spring and summer there are too many other fruits in season.

Fucking bigot, somehow.

Let me count the ways.

I go between Fuji and Honeycrisp. But there are so many good varieties out there.

I used to eat grannysmiths a lot but took a break... the tartness can be extreme!

I don't really see the point of apples. We buy them, they go off because nobody eats them, we throw them out.

[Klaus]

We spend insane amounts of money on high quality fresh fruits. It's worth it. If you ask our kids whether they'd rather want a piece of fruit or one of the standard carb/fat godzillas, they'll usually choose fruit.

[Jolly]

I prefer my own, but apple production is hit and miss down here. Helps if we have a cold winter.

The varieties I have are Golden Dorset and Anna. Both are tart, but not quite as much as a Granny Smith.

Must take a while... our apples seem to last years (ok, at least a few weeks) in the fridge.

Jazz are good…

My bike's a Fuji, my camera's a Fuji, and my favorite apple is a Fuji. WTF.
