I get to spread the word about my beloved Paula Reds! They’re available (around my area) about a freaking month out of the year, and I get into an apple-eating frenzy every time. I like my apples to have a good mix of tart along with the sweet, and I love a crisp texture that feels porous and easy to snap (like a very delicate piece of styrofoam, for lack of a better analogy).
I also love a big, fat, ripe McIntosh, which are a bit easier to find.
Paula Reds and Macs are the rare few apples I can eat without my palate and throat itching and my lips blistering. I seem to have a very random allergy to some fruits, down to the very breed (I can also eat Granny Smiths without this effect, but I don’t like the firm texture as much).
