I've eaten them out of hand, so have my two daughters and wife. We all like
them.
Now taste - I'm not good at describing - certainly not like a Macintosh, not
as acid or juicy. grainier texture or should I say coarser texture,
pleasant on the sweet side, fragrant.

They are not mush, but it an apple that tends towards the mealy side
In April. It's quite hard earlier but flavorful all along.

My reply:

Hmmm…okay you have a whole lot of experience that I respect, so…

Can you describe the flavor…what is it most akin to. Here is the thing,
spending part of my youth in Arkansas I remember the old timers singing
their praises…well you know what the opinion is these days…something just is
not quite right. So I would really like to hear your description. Do you
ever eat them out of hand?

Tastes vary, for example “we” like Bramley’s Seedling for eating out of
hand, and they never will last long enough in our house to find out what the
oven or stove top is like; that experience makes me realize that most people
have rather prejudice taste buds. They have a thought or experience of what
an apple should taste like and judge everything against that ideal rather
than accepting each apple for its own merits.

They don't pick them here till Oct. Garage is attached to Kitchen with
Lots of traffic. We shut the garage door when it gets down towards zero F.

My reply:

So I take it you basically are storing them in a rather warn environment?
Do you have any idea what the temperature is in Oct, Nov in your garage?

Only problem last winter was some durn critter unwrapped and ate our half
bushel before we got to them. Never left a core or piece of peel so I
suspect it took them out of the building.

My reply:

Yes I did. By the way, it wasn’t a “durn critter” it was a “fluffy bunny”
thank you. I heard someone was kind enough to leave their garage open, and
they stocked it with delicious home grown apples, and they put the apples in
convenient carrying containers to boot…LOL!!!

All the best,

The fluffy one
