I was out veg shopping a couple of days back and spied the most delicious looking, deep red apples. Yesterday lunchtime I tucked into one of these apples - it was supremely crunchy and full of juice but with no flavour whatsoever. Sweet yes, but taste of apple? No. Such a disappointment; I was so close to finding the 'perfect' apple.
Actually, this seems to be a bit of a recurring theme with apples. Russets are another example - they smell fantastic and when fresh are beautifully tasty, but they just don't store - a month or so after they first hit the shops and they are floury and dull.
Thankfully Cox's are easy to come by and nearly always delicious...
