Best apple

[Spammer]

Let's decide together.

Granny Smith for me.

Poll to follow.

[phonics]

You can't edit in polls you muppet.

[Giggles]

Braeburn.

No need for the poll.

[Magic]

Pink Lady. :drool:

[Jimmy Floyd]

Braeburn easily. This is a great way of spotting deviants, Hammer being the first one.

[phonics]

They brought in a law here that says that 25% of produce needs to be locally sourced and ever since then they seemed to remove all branding. There are just Apples now. Same with Bananas weirdly enough, as I can't imagine there are large Banana plantations off the Jura.

Raw apples makes my mouth itch (can't describe it any better than that) for some reason. It's a shame, because they taste alright really, and there's no other fruit you can dramatically take a bite off to look a little extra smug when you said something sly.

I didn't. I ticked the 'include poll' option and filled in the list of 10 options and everything, even including 'Educational theorist Michael Apple' for the bants.

What the fuck. I blame you for this.

[Baz]

We only get Pink Lady, but I doubt they're the best.

Granny Smith are the awful rock hard sweet green ones right? They're among the worst.

[Adamski]

I'm on mobile so can't see the poll because phonics.

Pink Lady for me.

[Foe]

Pink Lady fo'shure.

[phonics]

Hammer fucked it up, there's no poll to be had. Blame the proletariat.

[Magic]

Just create a new thread once the top 10 nominations are in. Each poster can nominate one apple variety.

[Spammer]

Y'all can do what the fuck you want. I don't care anymore.

Grapes are better than apples anyway.

[Magic]

Fucking hell. Guaranteed wrong 'un.

[Mike]

Pink Lady for me.

[Disco]

Braeburn.

No need for the poll.

Correct.

I tried Golden Delicious the other day, and they should be had up by trading standards.

[Giggles]

They are vile.

[Boydy]

I've had to google most of these sorts as I can never remember which apples are which. Braeburn are those red ones with bits sort of fading to yellow on them? They always seem to be disappointing. Although I find most apples a bit disappointing. They're never as crisp and juicy as they promise to be.

[Adamski]

Yeah I get that as well. Sounds a bit weird but I can never be fucked starting an apple. That initial bite feels like a really big step, where do you start? Top, bottom or middle? Do you work clockwise or counter clockwise? Lotta pressure.

I've taken to cutting it off in quarters leaving just the core, seems to taste better somehow :drool:

[Giggles]

Braeburn can be more up and down, where a pink lady is more consistent. But a good hard tart Braeburn is :drool:

[Boydy]

Wait, maybe I'm thinking of Royal Gala apples. They look pretty similar to the Braeburns. I don't know. Apples are shit.

[Disco]

The real question is who eats the whole thing and who leaves the core?

[Giggles]

I just cut it in four, flick out the pips and stalk, and eat the lot.

You'll need to squint, but here's a handy chart.

Granny Smith.

A good pear is superior to a good apple though.

[Offshore Toon]

Grapes are definitely better than apples. Apples are a bit shit. Red apples are the best. Also, if you don't eat the whole thing, you're a nonce.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I give the core to the dog. Makes her day.

[Baz]

Refrigerated apples > (http://www.thethirdhalf.co.uk/showthread.php?954-Which-Of-These-Would-You-Store-In-Your-Fridge) room temperature apples.

[CJay]

Pine.

[Reg]

Pink Lady.

Pears are better though. Especially cold from the fridge.

[ScousePig]

Royal Galas. I've eaten one or two a day for probably my whole adult life. I've had spells where I've eaten Braeburns, but there's only one winner.

[Raoul Duke]

Pink lady. Dat champagne fizz :drool:

[Magic]

Ok can we get some appreciation for the Piel de Sapo if we're bringing pears in to the equation?

It's not that good to eat the core, is it? I thought the seeds contained cyanide or something like that. Granted you'd have to eat shitloads of apples to actually be harmed by it, but still, I'd stay clear of the seeds anyway.

[Queenslander]

Pink Ladies from the granite belt. :drool:

[Magic]

Aberdeen?

[niko_cee]

Cox.

[Spammer]

We know you like Cox.

It's fine, they contain such a small amount.

You'd need to eat like 25 or so (depending on your weight) in one sitting and you'd have to chew the seeds too.

[Disco]

I pick the pips out anyway, don't want an apple tree growing in my tummy.

Granny smith's are typically on the sour end rather than the sweet end of the spectrum, as apples go.

[Jimmy Floyd]

I can't be doing with green apples. I need the visual contrast between the red skin and the white underneath.

[Spammer]

What would people say are the sourest/bitterest apples?

I love a good Granny Smith's apple when it's proper crunchy and sour as fuck, but I feel they've mellowed in recent years.

[randomlegend]

I need the visual contrast between the red skin and the white underneath.

Yeah, and it's other people that are the deviants.

[randomlegend]

Sour/bitter confusion is one of my irrational autism things I can't stand. Apples aren't bitter.

I love bitter apples.

Never thought about that, but its easier than walking to the bin, and seeds are normally good for you so I assume apple seeds are as well.

[Spammer]

I prefer bitter apples to the sweet ones. I've been told that bramley is the most bitter but I was never aware that they could be eaten raw. Might try it soon, and I'll report back when do.

Plz.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Is bitter the opposite of salt? I haven't thought about these things since Year 2.

[randomlegend]

Get a lemon. Juice = sour. White pith = bitter.

I'm not sure the 'opposite of salt' really works as a concept.

[Mazuuurk]

It's fine, they contain such a small amount.

I'm sure it is, yeah. Still, just seems like something I'd rather avoid if I could, anyway.

I don't eat the core because it just doesn't seem right.

Still don't know what you're on about.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Bitter = sour.

[randomlegend]

You don't understand that bitter and sour aren't the same thing?

[Disco]

Crabapples would be pretty sour, as would cooking apples. Debateable how edible they are raw but a dose of the runs is the worst that would happen (probably).

[Boydy]

'Bitter and sour aren't the same thing.'

Who the fuck is this guy?

[randomlegend]

I will fight you.

[Jimmy Floyd]

You sound rather sour about it.

[randomlegend]

And bitter. Like grapefruit.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Isn't grapefruit sour?

[randomlegend]

It's both.

[randomlegend]

Unlike apples.

[Adamski]

and we thought your posts about chocolate were boring.

[Offshore Toon]

Were you on the old board, Adamski?

[Adamski]

I was.

[Baz]

His username was Snazz.

[Giggles]

I thought it was John.

:henn0rz:

[Spammer]

I assumed Snazz was Baz, but ok.

[Adamski]

No, that was me.

[Giggles]

You were Adamski weren't you?

[Offshore Toon]

John must have been Snazz then.

[Adamski]

...guess who?

[Reg]

Ginger / ginger biscuits / ginger things = bitter but not sour.

There's my contribution.
