Dave loves McIntosh apples. I hate them. I love Empire apples. Dave hates them. I do the grocery shopping so I buy Empire apples. Dave was complaining about this so we decided to have The Great Apple Test Taste. We brought the 8 types of apples they had at the grocery store.
We pondered the complexities of the apples.
We rated the apples.
His favorites were the Cortland and McIntosh. Dave rated the Golden Delicious as "craptastic." My favorite was the Braeburn. Note: They did not have Empire at the store. We pretty much discovered that we don't have the same taste in apples. His favs were my least favs and vice versus.
We did discover that combining 8 types of apples make a good but foamy cider.Be sure to go Leigh vs Laundry to see more photos that are bound to make you happy. This is 2/52 for me. This was also the 47 out 52 dates.

I love all apples, but Macintosh Reds remind me of Halloween and Snow White and so always make me smile (as does cider) :-)
Ha...I love it! You guys are so fun.
Our fave is the Gala apple. :)
Yum! I love me a good apple! So refreshing!
HA! I love this!! Really, isn't that a perfect relationship?? You will always have your own apple ;)
This looks like fun! AND yummy!!
My husband and I have opposite taste in apples too. I like sweet and he likes tart. Cute shots of your taste test!
I love Pink Lady apples...I eat at least one a day....YUM
LOL! Love it! My favorite are the Jonathan apples...but I could be bias since my hubs name is Jonathan. :)
How fun and very creative.
That's hysterical. I'm with you though, macintosh is gross.
This cracks me up! My husband- grew up in an orchard & is a lover of the Golden Delicious- I don't think they are so delicious. My favs are the Fuji & Pink Lady's. If I am adding caramel- then a good ol' granny smith is the one for me. But I just think it's funny that we are not the only ones with apple wars. :)
How fun!
Too funny. Love that you did this.
What a fun test...and great pics!
Well, you and I have the same tastes because Braeburn are my fave!!! It's hard to find them in good condition though. They're almost always mealy.
Fun idea. You guys are cute.
My faves? Fiji and Honeycrisp
=)
A Lesson in Happiness
Gala....we love us some Gala apples! Or any apple smothers in caramel dip!
So cute. I love Gala apples like daffy... def my favorite.
Fun! You guys are so cute! My favorite apples are Jazz, Gala and Pink Ladies. I love crisp, tart apples.
Pink ladies here too although I don't often buy them they all seem to be grown in the USA and I (being a green lentil weaving eco mama :}) can't justify the food miles!
Also your post reminded me of a holiday to Boston - I was really disappointed to find that American cider has no alcohol in it. We all speak English but some things just aren't the same!
Gala apples all the way!!
