Honeycrisp apples

[wart57]

FYI-granny smith's are for baking, or eaten raw-giving you the squirts.

Notice how when you go to the apple dept of the store - it's something like this:

2 Honeycrisps $3.00
Braeburns $1.89 per lb.
Fujis 3 for $2
Johnathons golds 2lbs for $4.99
Golden delicious $5 per bag

Give's me a headache. Congress needs to pass the "Fairness in Apple Pricing Act"

You would [expletive] if you saw the price most chains pay for a case of apples.....

How so? Is it because they pay so little for the case, you mean? With a big mark-up?

From what I know...grocery stores make their money along the perimeter of the store and the liquor aisle...the dry goods aisles are pretty hard to squeeze a profit out of.

I picked up some locally grown varietal whose name I forget last month. Fantastic, not just sweet but tart and complex.

Young Albanian? Oh wait - you said locally grown.

I really like gala apples.

Red delicious apples, however, are mealy-textured and flavorless. If incest produced apples, they would be red delicious apples.

We had a golden delicious tree in our backyard growing up, so I've always been partial to those. But apple nirvana was reached when we lived in upstate NY for a couple of years in the mid-90s. The cider mills, the orchards where we would go pick our own and the variety was fabulous. McIntosh were my favs up there, but I bought some recently and they weren't nearly as good as I remembered.

The honeycrisps I bought last week were spectacular.

Honeycrisps are great for a dessert...just slice and eat...about 4 apples worth.

I had one today for lunch...so damn good.

Aye, there's an awesome apple orchard a couple miles outside of town for me, right next to the kennel where I board my dog. Oddly enough, there was a fantastic orchard right outside of town when I lived in central Iowa as well. Hmm...

Perhaps I subliminaly choose to move to cities that have excellent apple orchards?

This sounds sort of genius, whether it's subliminal or liminal.
