At home we usually have lunch in the kitchen, listening to music
I like it when we're 5 (us 3 + my husband's children), it makes the tiny kitchen table crowdy

Yikes, that's surprising. Apples are so basic. It's almost the only fruit I eat, because it's the only fruit grown in Finland to a larger degree. I supplement with berries. When I was pregnant, the only craving I had was occasionally for apples, and I ate like 4-5 per day at one point.
Car wrote:As a child, I really couldn't eat apples at all. When my grandparents still lived elsewhere, they'd make apples for us on the way back, except it wasn't such a good idea. Even nowadays, that still is a problem, but not that bad. It's the same for apple juice. I really like apples, but unlike grated apples (which have the opposite effect), it's just not a good idea. Same with artificial sweeteners (not all of them), except in that case, it still is as bad as it was when I was a child. And yeah, apples really are so basic, so it really isn't great, especially since I'm not allowed to eat other fruits I like for dietary reasons.

Varislintu wrote:Haha, I know that feeling. Hello, "klementines" (a variety of mandarins sold here under that name)! My father was a veritable klementine addict, and he'd peel them, 3-5 in a row, and then touch stuff and then everything would smell of that specific citrus smell, even the poor dog. I can't stand it, not then, not now, nohow. I can only eat the 'satsuma' variety.
Car wrote:Yes, absolutely. We try to buy the same kind of apples, but some are really juicy and yummy and some others not so much. The smell is diferent, too.
Car wrote:Oh, yeah, the smell of Clementinen (as well call them) really isn't pleasant at all. I hated having my finger smell like that afterwards, so I prefer not to eat them.

And the size is a factor, too. I prefer Finnish apples for many reasons but one is that they are smallish. The cultivated, maxed out apples from big brands are handy for cooking, but too big for me for eating raw. I can't eat a whole Granny Smith, for exampe, it just gets tedious. (Not trying to say Finnish apples are the best in the world, more like out of the selection in supermarkets here, they are the best.)

Wonderful, finally someone who feels the same! There's something in the undertone of their smell, almost like a slight hint of rot.
