My favourite are English Coxes. They are a bit fussy though - most super markets pick them too early so they never properly ripen (if you shake a properly ripe cox you can hear the pips shake). But they look below average. <br /><br />Compare that to those deep rosy red Snow White-esque apples which look divine but taste not so good.<br /><br />Not sure we get honey crisps over here, but I'll keep my eyes peeled (pun absolutely intended).<br /><br />MattMatt Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05113670876288157267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-65475478705831190132009-10-02T09:27:23.480-06:002009-10-02T09:27:23.480-06:00Honeycrisp, $1.39/lb this week all over the place!...Honeycrisp, $1.39/lb this week all over the place! Helps when you live in the place it was invented. :)<br /><br />The makers of that flavor apparently have another one on the way that they say will be even more popular - the Sweet Tango. It's not available here (MN) yet; I think they're still refining it.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05222052132452709301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-41610233844030340432009-09-30T23:22:26.324-06:002009-09-30T23:22:26.324-06:00@ Connie - no joke, Red Delicious, we're broke...@ Connie - no joke, Red Delicious, we're broken up for good.<br /><br />@ Andrew - no way will I pack a mango on-the-go...that is a home only food, way to much mess potential.<br /><br />@ Dad of Divas - let it be known, my eyes will be open for Zesters, if nothing else, it sounds fun!RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11340006144797496514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-69993482828608082762009-09-30T04:21:58.556-06:002009-09-30T04:21:58.556-06:00You and I have similar tastes in apples...

I would also recommend to you Zestar apples as they are quite similar to Honeycrisps but are available earlier in the season and are typically less expensive as well!Dad of Divashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036276450518783326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-14696386919112408592009-09-29T23:32:21.814-06:002009-09-29T23:32:21.814-06:00I'm totally nonplussed about this post and typ...I'm totally nonplussed about this post and types of apples. I live in Guyana so apples are not a tropical fruit. They're plentiful but whatever the type is that I remember I don't like it much. But you're spot on about apple being non messy. The only fruit that comes to me that can rival in terms of cleanliness is bananas and they go bad easily.<br /><br />The most abundant fruit here is mango and boy are they messy.Andrew K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01104647944747041277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21082552.post-79337929566280245582009-09-29T21:47:53.317-06:002009-09-29T21:47:53.317-06:00Love the Top 5.

After that experience, I could no longer justify the existence of Red Delicious apples.Conniehttp://ouichefcook.comnoreply@blogger.com
