That chart is helpful. I see apples at the store and wonder where they fall on the tart - sweet scale. It just confirms, Fuji FTW! |

Fujis are yummy. Braeburns are really yummy. Actually, I don´t notice too much difference between the two. |

i am biased towards sour fruits.. and sweet apples seem so tasteless to me, rarely apple-y. i think i had too much over ripe fruit as a child. i adore grapefruit and lemons and they make mr. apple CRY!!! they seem so sour to him. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

ooo those are good. I miss the mom and pop apple orchards that filled the stores around here the fall, in times of yore. those little super white apples with pink streaks.. so cute and crumbly. We have a pie tree.. huge, green, super-delish apples, that are perfect for cooking in any way. it's an ancient tree .. pre 1955 as far as I know. Edited by apple, Jul 19 2010, 06:08 PM.

There is fruit falling off the trees here everywhere year round, but one thing lacking is really good, crisp apples.

Our family loves Honey Gold, which is not even on the chart. It was developed right here in Minnesoooooota.

The chart is a little messed up to me. Fujis are NOT the sweetest apple on the chart. Galas are sweeter. But I still prefer Fujis... better texture and less bland. (The Chinese-grown Fujis I buy in Chinatown are even better.) Red Delicious are not tart, they're tannic. Granny Smiths are inedible. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |
