I love apples, and am very excited to try this new one. However... it's tough to beat the humble Fuji, IMO. At peak freshness they are sweet, a little tart with hints of honey, and last pretty long. I feel I can find decent Fujis into late winter, at my local grocery. I was briefly enamored by the Honeycrisp, but they are not as consistently good as Fujis and almost twice the price. This winter I discovered Jazz apples. They taste good, but more importantly they are often hard like rocks. I detest even the slightest bit a mealiness, and Jazz are a great late season apple. When the Fujis looked shabby, I'd pick up some Jazz. Incidentally, this is why I'll never use a grocery delivery service. I love food, I love cooking and am choosey about what I eat. I actually like going to the store and looking over the fruit, and chatting up the person behind the meat counter, etc. It'd be a shame if this ever went away. Don't disrupt grocery distribution. Disrupt whatever incentives that took carrots and made them taste like cardboard, instead of the sweet carrots I remember from my childhood. |
Isn't it precisely modern grocery distribution that gave us carrots that taste like cardboard and tomatoes that taste like water? These fruits and vegetables were bred for storage and transport, not for flavor.
