Pink Lady apples. Perfect balance of sweet and tart for me.
Came here to say this! Beautifully crisp too. I hate most red apples for how soft they can be and how grainy they can feel sometimes. Maybe I’ve had ones at the wrong side of ripe, but pink ladies are the perfect hybrid of green and red. I used to love Macintoshes for this but pink ladies are much better
Oh man yeah, didn’t even think about the texture. Gonna go get one at lunch time now.
A few years ago, I was in Asia for the first time. On a ship in Malaysia, to be specific. I was chitchatting with a Malaysian coworker before our shift started, and on our way out I grabbed a nice looking fruit on my way out of the galley. I took a bite, and it was like nothing I’d ever tasted before, so of course I had to ask what kind of fruit it was.
“Uh… a pear?” My coworker replied, surprised that I had to ask. To me pears are green, and has a completely different texture. I never knew yellow ones existed until then.
Arent most pears yellow when they are ripe?
Largish yellow raisins. I like them in oatmeal cookies and with mixed nuts cooked in a nice long grain rice with some saffron.
Granny Smith apples. They have intense flavor and solid crispness, unlike other variety vaguely sweet mushy apples. Most importantly, they’re still good out of season.
Every year I go wild with variety for 1-2 month, then return to Grannies for the rest of the year
Absolutely. Love Granny Smith.
Fuji apples
Care Care oranges
Fuji apples when I make apple cobbler.
For just sitting there eating peanut butter on an apple, a honeycrisp. I used to go for Galas because they were cheap, but lately I decided $1 more per pound of apples is better than occasionally eating a dozen donuts when I want something sweet. Overall, just better to spend more money on healthier food than to absolutely optimize my grocery budget then binge on junk food when the optimization freaks me out.
Acorn Squash, 1 hour at 400f, split oiled with a bit of brown sugar in them
Depending on my mood I go butter and brown sugar, or olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan.
Cara cara oranges. Honey crisp apples. Alphonso mangos. Vidalia onions (not a fruit tho)
Cara cara oranges are so special and yummy.
Red kiwi, they taste better.
Pink Lady apples or bust
I bust for the pink lady
Not many. I don’t like the fructosey sweet flavour of most fruit. So I love tomatoes, but not much else…
Maybe this thread will help me :)
Green apples.
Sindhri Mangoes
Nendran bananas
Prince William Pears. They’re so sweet and juicy!! So juicy it always dribbles down my chin when I take a bite.
Golden delicious apples. I don’t even consider others, although tbf, their taste does vary a little, depending on where I bought them.
