They also include the Turley Winesap, which in my experience is far inferior to the Stayman Winesap (having taken college pomology classes down in Kansas, where both cultivars were grown at the time). -- Sam Brungardt, St. Paul, Minn.

They include "Ben Davis"! in their "ark of taste". Now Ben Davis is undoubtedly worth preserving as it has many good qualities and is probably a useful breeding parent. But I've never heard anyone make a favorable comment about it's flavor.

Here's the apple list -

They have a lot of sites associated with the slow Food movement -

it's a little hard to find things at times.

Is there a full list somewhere? Seems to me the link just

points to new foods voted onto the ark. For example, surely

they would have selected some apples...

It's interesting to see which cultivars Slow-Food has

nominated to its

"Ark of Taste", a sort of hall of fame meaning these

connoseurs have

decided its the best.
