To Start

During an adventure to the grocery store, we (and by we, I mean I) decided that we should sample different types of apples. The more normal of the two of us believed this was a foolhardy mission, because, "all apples taste the same." Of course, after tasting a few varieties, not only did he recant his blasphemies, but demanded that we immediately start a blog! No, wait, that was me, too. But he's all for it:

According to the all-knowing Wikipedia, there are over 7,000 cultivars of apple, each with its own genetic traits and (hopefully) delicious flavor. Partly for your pleasure, but mostly for our own delectable indulgence, we are going to sample apples, enjoy their juiciness, and then tell you what we thought of them, and what we think they'd be good for. Hopefully, this will keep us healthy, wealthy, and doctor-free...as long as we don't eat the seeds (~poison!~). 

The bulk of our apples will be purchased at our local farmer's market and grocery stores, but our dream is to one day eat that elusive and forgotten variety--the wild apple--marvelously untainted by man's genetic tinkerings. These can be readily found at your local outdoor market...in Kazakhstan.

So, join us in the meantime as we tackle the 7,000 other apple varieties; feel free to make comments or leave any pomaceous wisdom of your own; and make yourself at home as we regale you with random apple tidbits. Of course, those will come pre-sliced.

Yum :)
