the sticker reads “rome - 4171 - produce of the u.s.a. - “pride of new york” logo”
this is the third apple of the 4 i got at food lion. i have not tried one of these before either. the skin on this one shifts from a light red to a nice deep red. on the top where the stem usually is is a bright green patch. very attractive apple, i must say. it is already rinsed and ready to go, so here goes.
hmmm…crisp skin, more soft inside. it tastes good, but not my favorite. not overly juicy, though, and i like that. my teeth kind of slide through the innards instead of cracking off a chunk like some of the crispier apples. it’s not very sweet, like yesterday’s fuji. i think it is just a bit bland. there doesn’t seem to be any kick to it. i would probably buy more of these if the store i was at was running out of options. maybe this would taste better in an apple cobbler or pie instead of just straight up. for an occasional apple in the park, though, it would be okay. i give this one a 2.5 out of 5 on my awesome apple scale.
next up: the braeburn! (one of my recent favorites)

I don't know if you knew this, but Johnny Appleseed was planting apples around America to mill for Apple Jack. Not the cereal, ;), the drink. In fact apples are grafted trees (the galas, macintoshes, red delicious, etc). If you plant an appleseed, it doesn't take on its parent tree's genes. So most of Johnny's trees weren't tasty to eat, but tasty enough to get drunk!
