I'm in southern NE and we generally are able to buy Golden Delicious apples in our supermarkets, but they are just not as tasty as they used to be. The lovely honey-like flavor seems to have been replaced with a watery tartness. (and I like a tart apple) They're shaped differently and the skin is more yellow. So they are available, but something happened to them. I miss them also. Another type of apple that I miss is the Russet. Now that was a great little apple. There was a Russet apple tree on the edge of a farm near my childhood home that I used to climb and eat apples to my heart's content. An orchard near me had a some Russet apple trees up until a few years ago. I remember that they didn't pick them until after the first frost . They told me it gave the apple a better flavor Times change. Much gets improved, but some things get left behind. Good memories. :-) (责任编辑：) |
