One of the factors in certain apples no longer being grown must be how well
they maintain their "quality" during shipping and storage. It's sad. I
learned a little about the apple growing business when I read "Blues
Lesson" by Robert(?) Hellenga - for those voracious readers out there in
gardening land.
I'll do a taste comparison with the mid-eastern market's pistachios, as you
suggest. I enjoy taste tests.
