Now there is a fruit worthy of notice! They come in all sorts of colours from gem-stone ruby-red to cheery yellow to a green that only the immensely seasick could ever hope to recapture!
To be fair you do get lesser quality apples where the colours are less deserving of such praise and tend to be shades most likely found in hospital wards and institutions where people go to “rest away from society - now don’t gnaw your straps again Alfred!” But I’m here to focus on only the very best of the breed. I’m an apple snob through and through!
Apples are great though! Few people are allergic to them, they taste heavenly, they’re a fantastic snack, and they’re all mine, mine, mine!!!! Or they should be anyway...
They look beautiful and inviting, plump and edible! You understand why the old Masters from long ago used to paint them so often! (By paint them I mean paint their likeness on canvas, not literally putting paint on apples, that would be just weird and far more modern arty…)
They feel smooth and slick, with perhaps a few rough areas that actually add, rather than detract, from their appeal. They’re firm and round and fit perfectly in my, I mean, your hand.
And the smell! *swoon* like all the healthy goodness on the planet rolled into one! Like pure, unadulterated appetite! *Drool*
Then comes that crackling, crispy sound as your teeth sink in, meet resistance and then >Ker-Crunch!!!<, bite juicily into the fruit!
And at last, but certainly not least, you’re rewarded with the wildly flavourful tangy flesh as juices fill your mouth to the brim and make you chew and chew and smile and smile, right down to that last, so regrettably last, satisfying bite!
Damn I could so go for an apple right now!!!
