The title pretty much sums it up. I cant stand them. The sound of someone biting into an apple sends uncontrollable chills down my spine. It has been that way since I was very young but I don’t know what triggered it. Does anyone else have that same reaction to apples?
People think I’m crazy when I tell them eating apples makes my tooth enamel hurt.I don’t mind the taste so much though. I think it may be the apple peelings that bother me.
I’d like apples a lot more if they didn’t make me physically ill. They’re so tasty with peanut butter.
If we’re going to talk about awful fruit, what the hell is up with pears? They taste nasty, the texture is always terrible, there’s about a six-second window when they’re properly ripe but not mush, and they’re a weird shape. Ugh. Pears.
I love pears. I will only eat apples after they have been sliced, only because I have always had a vague fear that I am going to leave a tooth behind in a whole apple. Shudddeerr
I like them, but can only eat them when they are cut into slices. I can’t bit into a whole one.
I used to sit next to this guy at work who ate 3 apples every day. He was, I think, the noisiest apple-eater in the world. Three times a day it would be:
I went a very long time without eating an uncooked apple, due to a bad experience I had in sixth grade. (While on a school trip to a summer camp sort of place–a miserable experience in every possible way–I ate an apple and promptly threw up.)
Nowadays, so long as I stick away from the Red Delicious (and who’d want to eat one of those, anyway?) and am careful not to chew the peel too much, I can handle them just fine, though like most uncooked fresh fruits and vegetables, they still occasionally make me a bit queasy.
I love red delicious apples. I like eating them a day or two after most other people would have said it was past its prime, when it’s just the slightest bit mushy.
The other night I had a late night snack craving and a particular green apple smelled absolutely delicious. I cut it up, and took a bite of what I anticipated to be a tasty apple… but no! It was extremely sour. I didn’t know apples could be that sour. I wouldn’t have been able to keep a straight face if my life depended on it.
I can’t stand a mushy or mealy apple, or biting into thick, leathery apple skin. Give me a crunchy, slightly sour apple with thin skin, though, and I’m happy. I love tart, ugly russets, but I have to peel them as I go.
This summer I did some work at an orchard, and I quickly learned not to trust a particular coworker. He’d come in from picking and offer me a chunk of an apple, and more often than not it would be some vile thing like an obscure, bitter, French cider apple or a bruisy Mcintosh.
I can’t remember the last time I bought an apple. I’m not sure if I’ve ever bought an apple. It’s the kind of thing I’ll eat if you give me one, but it’s not on my shopping list at all.
I will eat an apple. I would likely refuse a slice of apple pie though. Blech.
I strongly prefer tart, crisp apples. The bland sweet ones would get thrown away after one bite.
My apples from our trees are almost gone. That makes me so sad, as I won’t have good ones again until late August. Hopefully I won’t have problems keeping the trees sprayed on time this next season due to a natural disaster.
My daughter used to love apples, but a couple of years ago she started having an allergic reaction (her mouth and throat swell), so I don’t keep them in the house anymore. I really miss my previous go-to quick dinner of apples and cheese.
Count me in, too. Raw apples, good; cooked apples, bad. Applesauce as a side to a dish like potato pancakes is fine, but I don’t like apple pie or anything like that. I happen to make awesome apple dumplings and strudel, but it may as well be cardboard for all I want to eat it. Apple butter is noxious.
