Stuck in the apple Granny Smith reminiscing past; prob drives a morris minor retrofitted with an airbag.:)
I do see a modern version of GD on the supermarkets from time to time but they are bright yellow and don't taste how i remember them as a kid( but how could they, with taste and memory intertwined and taste losing its subtlety as we age). We used to wait until the wasps started eating them, a sign they were at their best.
Modern fruit has had half a century of being bred and "optimized" for colour, storage, looks, handling, and so on.
I suspect that taste and texture have been well down the R&D pecking order.
Just bought a dozen Mr Apples apples from the local night market, although it is not night yet :confused:.
