Bought a small tasting selection from my local trendy grocers. Pink Lady: a new one to me, pleasingly crisp and fresh, basically sweet, but not overpoweringly so. I like. Russet: also crisp, skin can be a bit rough which gives a somewhat disconcerting mouthfeel, but tastewise it's not predominantly sweet or tart - it just tastes like a fuckin' apple. Quintessence of apple. Coxes: always my favourite. Crisp again - fuck a soft apple imo - and a perfect balance of sweet and tart.

One of the best things about being in the UK vs the US is being able to get proper apples really easily and cheaply. It's been all about Windsor/Cox/Russet apples this autumn so far.

I think when I lived in the UK I bought Fijis.
