pears

[SatanicPanic]

I’ve got an apple hard-on for Fujis & Pink Ladies.
I don’t care for an overly sweet apple & texture is crucial too.
Both of the above are crispy with a lickle bit of tangy tartness to balance the sweet.

Fuji’s are the best

If you like Korean pears, you should try Korean sweet potatoes, sometimes you see them labeled as Japanese yams. Nothing like  a hot potatoe on cold days

Alcohol sucks. Brands that use drinking to promote their stuff immediately gives me bro vibes and turns me off to the brand. If people wanna drink no judgement and especially all the love to people battling addiction but booze is such a major bummer. Seen too many people on and off board seriously lose track of life with alcohol

you just judged the sentence before you said no judgement.
sorry for partying

Why does Dick Rizzo get a man bun pass? Is it a passive aggressive "look what you could've had" gesture to Habitat for not putting him on years ago?

Homie is meticulously hatted though, i think he does feel the shame. Sour Gustav, on the other hand, is immune

Braeburn all the way. Big enough to still a decent hunger, thirst-quenchingly juicy, perfect sweet-tart balance, and so crisp you risk losing your teeth when you don't focus on your bite. Cox and Elstar are a decent stand-in option, if needs must.

Granny Smith's are nice, but only in the summer of course (I'm not an animal).

Goudreinet is an exciting bit of Russian roulette; the sour and tartness can hit some spots that you didn't know needed to be hit, but there's a chance of it getting all too much. In any case; don't go overboard, only eat one every couple of weeks.

Golden Delicious, and every bland, unimaginative and tired old soul that counts them as their favorite, can fuck right off. The same goes for Pink Lady, but for entirely different reasons; you're not a child, you don't need nice colours and overbearing sweetness, you just need a kick up your tastebuds.

I've never had a Red Delicious that was actually nice, but I do enjoy them in theory.

Both are excellent bands one is more metal influenced grunge and more is punk influenced tho musically I don’t really see a similarity other than they both from Washington

Arguing about what musick you like isn’t sick.
It’s sick. You have ego problem and can’t hear the vibes. Can I eat chocolate ice cream? Is that ok with you?

No, unironically chocolate ice cream fucking sucks, vanilla and strawberry are far superior, it doesn’t even taste like chocolate it tastes like chocolate flavored dum dums, strawberry and vanilla are way better. You’re honestly just wrong. Unironically posting this in the things that make you feel less of a person thread

[ThatIsNotCricket]

My mans out here straight inventing types of apples.

It's just a theoretical Red Delicious, that's nice and juicy, that I'm actually inventing here buddy! I sometimes think of one when I'm eating a Braeburn, and it helps keeping things exciting. I refuse to be mocked.

[Mallie]

Never paid that much attention to sub-types of apples, nor were there so many available around here. Maybe that's just a euro thing.

But Granny Smiths def take the no. 1 spot. I need that kick, that crunch, that tart. I want my fruit to be fruit, not a candy like an Idared or Pink Lady. Fujis are an ok replacement for those wjo find GSs too fresh and sour.

But I don't understand the sentiment of "I do GSs only for cooking". Sure, maybe in risottos and omelettes when you need that zestiness a bit. But for baking, like crumbles, pies and strudels? Some Jonathans and a pinch of cinnamon does the trick. Squeezed off after grating, of course. And you drink the leftover juice, of course. Mixed with water, of course.

[Coastal Fever]

I’m a Gala guy.  Tastes somewhere in between a pear and a Honeycrisp.  Usually half the cost of Honeycrisps around here too.  Best daily driver apple, imo.

[manysnakes]

Honestly I’m fine with nearly any apple which isn’t a Red Delicious.

[JM]

Red delicious is like munching on geriatric gums.

It’s sick. You have ego problem and can’t hear the vibes. Can I eat chocolate ice cream? Is that ok with you? Do you have control all senses? Do we have to like alive and chains and can’t like nirvana? What if it’s 50/50 or I don’t give a fuck cuz OutKast speaks to me more then either one of then and I’m not wearing no bib overalls and leaning the flute I’m just saying that’s what I like. Why you got to make a list is you Santa Claus and checking it twice? Truthfully I talk hella shit but I lie all the time too. I’m sorry. Happy new years.

im a huge fan of both and have bought CDs cassettes and vinyls from both. just think one is better than the other. talking about music is just fun theres no ego issue when talking abt music unless you take it too seriously. this jinn post i read is interesting.
