That's like swearing off beer after having only tried Coors and Bud Lite!

Oh, I didn't really *swear off* apples. I happily ate bits of D's Granny Smiths. I just hadn't ever classified them as something I, you know, wanted.

Today I'm eating a Braeburn and it seems too mealy for me. Slowly, I'll work my way around the apple varieties I can find.

I wonder why I bothered to cultivate a taste for beer and coffee and stinky cheeses and not for apples? Probably because the first three are either macho, off-putting, or kind of obscure, and apples are none of those. Also, the first three have a reputation for being "acquired tastes", and I guess *everyone* thinks they know what apples taste like.
