A is for: Apple.


Have you ever noticed that noise can be delicious?
In particular I am thinking of the snap and crunch of crisp apple skin and the sound.. when you chew the apple.. it brings me to texture.
Firm but pleasantly soft, grainy but also smooth, juicy but also a little sticky.
Such sounds lead to texture and texture to taste.
A sweet yet also tart with a flavor that does not linger too long on the palate but leaves a pleasant taste in your mouth.
Raw. It is fruit of the Earth, unharmed, unchanged by the hand of man, beautiful and delicious.

An apple a day.. beats two carrots and a banana.
