Spartans and Gala are pretty common over here, Aurora and Ambrosia I don't think I've seen.<br />Do you have Bramleys over there in North America? I've never seen them used in American recipes, though here you wouldn't make an apple-pie without them.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503319830584828982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-91484060921027279292011-10-09T23:06:27.110-07:002011-10-09T23:06:27.110-07:00Greg - apples we were selling yesterday: aurora, a...Greg - apples we were selling yesterday: aurora, ambrosia, gala, spartans, mutsu.<br /><br />I wouldn't be surprised if you had to look most of those up.<br /><br />You should go back to the stall you got those apples from (if you remember who it was) and ask what the variety is (if the seller doesn't know, I'd consider that a bad sign...).<br /><br />Yeah, that's not the promotion I'd be hoping for in that situation.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14952331166517430843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1149217012399643733.post-64341309851289203122011-10-09T00:06:12.068-07:002011-10-09T00:06:12.068-07:00Wow, it sounds like a very busy day!

Which is a shame as they are crisp, sweet, and just very slightly tart, and I'd love to know their name to get more.<br />Heh, that poem sounds like it harkens back to your corporate days!<br /><br /><b>The promotion</b><br />Let me tell you of Major General,<br />A man with a short, sad story.<br />For his part in the five-days-war,<br />He was "promoted to glory."Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08503319830584828982noreply@blogger.com
