A friend sent me this I thought it was pretty funny.


Women are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the
tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good ones because they are
afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they sometimes take the
apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. The apples at the
top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're
amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along, the one
who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Now Men.... Men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes and it's up
to women to stomp the sh*t out of them until they turn into something
acceptable to have dinner with.

Share this with all the good apples you know.

When I was a kid, we had a Haroldson and a Prairie Spy. So those are my favorites.

Yow> I have just in the past 2 months discovered Pink Lady apples. They are *also* a Down-Under contribution to the Greater Good. Another one. Developed in Oz they are a cross between Lady Williams and Golden Delicious. They were real expensive (and imported from USA) so I bought 2 per week, but just this week locally grown ones from the Golan Heights and the Galilee appeared in our wee shop .
Way OT!!

I love those Pink Lady apples, too! I'd never heard of them until recently.

I have not heard of "pink ladies" anywhere but this thread... I look forward to seeing them somewhere...

But my faves are "Gala" and "Pacific Rose"

Yeah, I haven't tried 'em either. They're always, like, £2.00 for four apples instead of £1.2something or £1.3something for seven or eight.

my mum worked in an orchard when i was a kid and used to bring lots of different types home to sample, my favourite apples were Pearls - but I haven't seen any in the shops for years

Hey, Kiwi, apple season here... just bought a bag of about 20 Braeburns for $2... whats that, about 70-80p?

When you get back to Godzone, get in touch, we must go for a ride somewhere together... I'll bring the apples!

I hate you! :p Although, you did just offer to feed me, so I may rethink that stance... ;) There's not a lot of seasonal variation in supermarket prices here at all because of all the importing. I end up with this whole United Nations thing going on in my vege bin - beans from Kenya, apples from Poland...

Talking about food prices, this reminds me of when I was in the States a few years ago: I fully burst out laughing in Safeway at the price of kiwifruit - they were, like, two for US$1, or something equally ridiculous.

Two for US$1???

Thats insane

Locally we were getting the gold ones (so yummmmmmy) for NZ$3 for about ten, and the green ones were about NZ$2 for a bag of about 20 or something

Mind you, I am in the Bay (LOL - the Fruit Bowl of NZ!!!) so loads of fresh fruit about all year.

I'm serious about feeding you if you come for a ride with me... I guess you must be just about due for the two days of Summer London gets?
We've had some serious late Autumn/ early Winter rain, but in between the days a warm and mild and quite delightful.

Hawke's Bay (and note the apostrophe!!) or the Bay of Plenty, Road Raven?

Just bought another 8 local (Golan Heights/Galilee) Pink Lady apples - not even going to *try* to deal with the complexities of the plural and apostrophes on that one!

And I just bought some nylon shorts (Nike) in the very pink of Pink Lady btw
