Golden Delicious can also be lovely, but only if they're fresh and crunchy and not cold stored for ages.
jane said:Also, I'm a big, big fan of the McIntosh apple, which you can almost never get here. They're kind of in a class of their own, though, since the thing I always liked about them (apart from being tasty and super fresh, due to being a local crop) was going to fruit farms and picking them myself. You buy them by the bushel, and then you go home, and you're like, "Jesus, what the fuck am I going to do with three bushels of apples?!" But you're still all like, "Damn, how about them apples?"

When I lived in Hull the veg shop had about 10 varieties of apples, changed every week as different ones came into season, nicest one I ever had there was a "Fantastic", yum yum. I think Cox's are about the nicest standard apple, if you're growing your own Laxton's Superb is hard to find but smashing. Had some Italian Golden Delicious in Spring last year that had been stored (not cold stored, stored in paper or straw I think) over winter and were gorgeous - they had dried a little so were kinda crinkly and real yellow but with a super-intense sweet apple flavour.

You can get 'em in Roy Fox in Donnybrook. Gorgeous little buggers, they are.moose said:Anyone try asian apples? think that's what they're called. A cross between an apple and a pear. I'm not a big apple fan but these are really good. You get them in Greystones dunno where else.
Yep - St. Andrew's Community Centre on Pearse St on Saturdays, open around 10, shuts around 3. If you're into your food at all you should go there regularly, there's a funny atmosphere in the place (kinda nutty right-on middle-class vegetarian) and it's kinda expensive but it's so worth it - damn near everything is organic and you'll find stuff you just wouldn't get elsewhere like Almond Butter and Cashew Butter, jars of blueberries, seaweed, all sorts of cakes and breads, all sorts of flour, organic wine and of course a fantastic selection of organic fruit and veg, not just your locally grown turnips either but mangoes and pineapples and fragrant grapes and whatnot. I really miss it now I've moved to the sticks, supermarket fruit really is tasteless in comparisonkirstie said:is this down on Pearse St of a weekend?
