Jadzia, can i add another...
Granny Smith. This apple was developed in the Sydney suburb of Eastwood (which is just over the hill from my house) in the mid 1850´s. Mary Ann Smith (affectionately known as Granny) developed the lovely large, green, tart fruit, apparently, from the French Crab Apple.
this lovely apple is a big favourite in Australia (i´m not sure if it is in North America, perhaps someone could fill me in here), and its a BIG favourite with me.
Every year, in Eastwood, we have a Granny Smith festival, which celebrates the much loved lady and the delicious fruit.
btw, if you take out the core, fill it some brown sugar and a cinnamon stick, bake for a short while, this apple makes a delicious desert.
**edit - btw, the Granny Smith Festival is this weekend - hope its fun!
