danieldwilliam1. Have you ever bobbed for Apples?
I have bobbed for apples. I can't say that I enjoy it. I don't much like things going up my nose or having my face in water when I'm wearing glasses / or taking my glasses off. I am reasonably proficient at it mostly becaue the physics engine in my brain is pretty good (see also my sense of balance, ability to catch cricket balls).
2. Do you like a regular or hard apple cider?
This is one of those USian questions isn't it? Cider, in USian, I think is apple juice and hard cider is what they (we) drinks in Zomerzet and Glawztorzhire.
I like apple juice. I very much like apple juice mixed with either raspberry juice or mango juice. I think I would go as far as to say that I dislike cider but I very, very rarely try it and have largely written it off as a drink. I like calvados, but then there are not too many tawny spirits to whom I am not a friend and who are not a friend of mine.
3. Do you have a special type of apple that you prefer over others?
I am particular about the type of apple that I eat. Braeburns are my favourites. I like Pink Lady and Jazz. I won't touch a Golden Delicious, not for money, not for love.
4. Have you ever made baked apples?
I have. I hold somewhere the ancient family recipe from the depths of the Cotswolds from whence my proud lineage springs.
Mostly now I make them in the microwave, using a cored apple, some rum soaked sultanas, cinnamon and brown sugar (how come you taste so good?). Watch the timings on the microwave, exploding apples can put a crimp in your day
5. Who is the apple of your eye?
Currently my son, the Captain, because he is busy being an awesome eight year old.
