What is your favourite type of apple?

Well funny you should ask. I bought some called pink lady today but I had to peel the skin off because it was quite tough. I quite like those apples called cox's pippins. They are the ones that you can shake and hear the pips inside. When I was young I called them the rattly apples.

I only like Pink Ladies if they are from Australia. Most of the others are virtually tasteless.

I think all apples have gone down hill in recent years. The skins are too tough and the inside is sometimes spongey. I like Granny Smiths and Discoveries.

Golden Delicious or Royal Gala.

To be honest I prefer a juicy pear. (note the spelling please)

Yes, you can't beat a nice William's pear.

Braeburn.

I had a lecturer at college who was fond of saying the people behind Golden Delicious should be prosecuted under the Trade Descriptions Act, as they were neither.

I like golden delicious, or a nice pink lady. But has been said before it needs to be an australian one.

And Golden Delicious have to be South African, IMHO.

English discovery. When i travelled in New Zealand i loved Braeburns, and have them when it's not discovery season! But I'm going through a phase of trying to buy British produce when it's in season. I didn't know cox pippins rattled - i'll try that next time. Today i bought some (english) victoria plums - yum yum

I bought some plums yesterday. I was going to buy peaches but I think they were very expensive at £1.99 for 4 .
