I Just Bit Into The Mealiest Apple Ever

[MrCoffee]

and it looked so pretty, too. my day is completely shot now.

[youthere]

1. My sympathies...

nothing worse than a mealy apple.

[tigereye]

2. nah I have you beat....

I have some old apples that are mealier....

[MrCoffee]

3. this thing was all applesauce under the skin...

and it didn't feel like it had gone bad. i was really looking forward to a nice crispy apple.

[Radio_Lady]

27. Adam, all I can say is SORRY! Love always, Eve

[cwydro]

4. I hate a mealy apple.

They oughta be banned.

[LynneSin]

5. Perhaps it wasn't the apple that mealy but the apple eater

:shrug:

[MrCoffee]

6. look, you've given me the KC & the Sunshine Band earworm already...

haven't you hurt me enough for one day????

[blogslut]

7. Aack! I hate that.

By the way, anybody try Pink Lady apples?

Omigod! They are wonderful! Tart but sweet. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[MrCoffee]

8. waaaaaaaaaaaa! this WAS a pink lady!!!

all its siblings were delicious. i thought this one would be too. i thought wrong.

it's the proverbial "one bad apple"

[blogslut]

9. On Noes!

Not the Pink Lady! Where is the justice???

[MrCoffee]

10. Ever tried Cameos?

http://www.americancameo.com/

that's a tasty apple.

[blogslut]

13. No, I haven't

I am not fortunate enough to live in the apple state. We get what we can down here in Texas. I'll keep an eye out for them though. Are they tart? I'm not much of one for oversweet apples. Red delicious is as far as I go. Most of the time, I'm a Granny Smith kind of gal.

[MrCoffee]

17. I've gotten Pink Ladies in Houston...

if you don't like too-sweet apples, the Pink Lady is perfect. Highly recommended.

of course, i replied to the wrong post...i've never had a Cameo until i moved here (seattle).

it's a good apple, if you can find it.

[blogslut]

18. I get Pink Ladies here

It's the Cameos I'm not sure about. I will look and ask at the grocer. Thanks for the recommendation. :)

[grasswire]

51. it's one of my favorites

I pick cameos that are very deep in color and they are just outstanding! Deep, deep flavor!

[CottonBear]

25. Ooo! I had one of those last year! Yuum!

They were grown by a Mennonite farming community in middle Tennessee. :) I love apples!
I purchsed pink tomatoes and fresh rhubarb too! Very tasty!

[KitchenWitch]

11. Lemme guess...Red Delicious?

[MrCoffee]

12. Red Delicious sucks...

that's just about the crappiest apple going. get yerself a Pink Lady, you'll never eat another Red NotSoDelicious again.

[KitchenWitch]

14. I am not sure I can get Pink Lady apples here

I cannot get Haralson, Cortland, or Honey Crisps here either.

We do get Galas and Fujis though.

[blogslut]

15. Fujis are nice

Think of a Pink Lady as a Fuji but much better.

[Goblinmonger]

40. Red Delicious

are clearly the bastard step-children of the apple world. Ick.

[deucemagnet]

16. The Red Delicious apple is evil.

It tempts us with its redness, but the "delicious" part is a lie. A LIE!!

[KitchenWitch]

24. One wonders why they even market the things

Eating one is like eating cardboard.

Now I do enjoy a golden delicious on occasion.

[Dangerously Amused]

19. You have my full attention.

Please, I need you to describe this fascinating incident in graphic detail.


And thank you for posting about it.

[buddhamama]

20. don't let it ruin your day, MrCoffee

what kind was it?

My son will only eat Gala or Pink Lady apples. I must admit i am partial to them as well, except when baking.


I realize it is not a replacement nor ever could be,
please accept this coffee and a hug. :hug:

[MrCoffee]

21. goodbye blue Friday!

thanks buddahmama. with your support, i'll get through this difficult time.

[joneschick]

22. here try this

[MrCoffee]

23. mmmm...that's good apple!

[KitchenWitch]

44. I want a honey crisp!

Can get them in Minnesota, not here in California though!

:cry:

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

45. By some strange coincidence, I am eating a Honeycrisp right now.

Crunchy!

[KitchenWitch]

46. I am officially jealous

List of apples I like that are NOT available in California:

Honey Crisp
Honey Gold
Haralson
Cortland
Braeburn

And a few I have probably forgotten.

I miss our annual trips to the orchard.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

47. Mmmm. Haralsons: Best pie apple.

California is not apple country, I guess.

[KitchenWitch]

48. Nope, but we do get some awesome strawberries

when they are in season.

[NewWaveChick1981]

26. Awww...that sucks!

:hug: Mealy apples are disgusting.

[Shine]

28. I hate that. Sometimes I think the stores freeze them before they sell 'em

:puke:
Hope you get over your bad apple experience, MrCoffee.

Maybe you should have some coffee. :D

[buddhamama]

29. mealy apples stay with you

it seems to coat your tongue or something. arrgghhh. Brushing and flossing are required to remove the offense.

drinking coffee is a good idea. :hi:

[Shine]

30. Hey you!

:hug: :loveya: :hi:

xoxo!

[buddhamama]

32. how are you, Beautiful ?

not suffering from mealy apples, i hope. :D :loveya: :hug:

[Shine]

35. No, thank goddess.

:D

It's a good day. Today is my mama's bd and we're takin' her out for a nice meal to celebrate. :loveya:

:hi: Have a great weekend!

[buddhamama]

42. thanks, sweetie,

I wish you and yours a Happy Weekend too.

Enjoy the B-day celebration with Mama. :hug:

31. I wonder if it has something to do with the wax coating...

Looks fresh on the outside, but rots from the inside.

Even some of the organic apples have a bit of a wax coating. The skin should start shrinking and wrinkling first when they're not coated.

[buddhamama]

33. heh-

i look for the bruised ones with the soft spots. i stick my finger in it to see the texture. :D :hi:

[u4ic]

34. So do you put it back

if you don't like the texture? Hole and all?






I stick to only a couple of types, because many common ones get mealy so quick. If I can find them, Orins are at the top of my list, then Ambrosia, then Pink Lady. If nothing else is available, I'll take Galas. I will not go near Red or Golden Delicious.

[buddhamama]

36. Pink Lady and Galas

are popluar in my house. They're the only ones my son will eat.

i put the holey apples back as a warning for the next person. ;) :hi:

[u4ic]

38. You are a pillar of the community, m'friend!

[BarenakedLady]

37. Yes you may as well just give in

Give up and go to bed.

[Phillycat]

39. That's why I only eat Granny Smith apples.

They are tart, crisp, and never mealy.

[Goblinmonger]

41. Honey Crisps are the shit

Even here in Wisconsin our Honey Crisps right now are so damn good. I'm having one as soon as I get home from work. And I'm leaving right now.

[KamaAina]

43. What's the equivalent of mealiness for oranges?

Whatever it is, I had one yesterday. And it was from the Big Island, too. Usually Big Island oranges are to oranges what (you're telling me) Pink Ladies or Honeycrisps are to apples (we don't export them, though. Sorry. :( ) But this one was nasty in the same way that California navels can get nasty: half of some of the sections were even dried out. Ick!

I suppose I shouldn't have been so elated to see Big Island oranges for 89 cents a pound after all. :shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

49. If you can't rely on an Apple in Washington, what can you rely on?

[SoyCat]

50. Try ambrosia apples; I've found that they are nice and crunchy this year.

[tinfoil tiaras]

52. that sucks butt

I'm sorry

:(
