Apple 1: Cameo

It's Day 1 of Operation Eve, and a mid-sized cameo apple is on the chopping block!


Taste: The cameo seems to be mild in flavor, hitting just the right mix between sweet and tart (but if I had to lean one way, I'd lean to sweet). Although at first it seemed too bland, it's growing on me as I consume. 

Texture: Smooth Sally. Not sure how much of this has to do with freshness or temperature, but the apple was cold from the fridge and fresh off the boat...tree. 

Price: $1.48/lb.

Attractiveness: Along the same lines as Owen Wilson. Bumpy features, and otherwise not really bringing a lot to the table look-wise, especially when it's sitting right next to a more attractive version of itself...until that brother gets fat and stoops to doing worthless AT&T commercials. Right - so apples...

Rating: Based on competitive pricing and general flavability, I'm going to give the cameo 6 seeds out of 10. Meaning, if it showed up in my lunchbox, I wouldn't be pissed off.


Also, thanks to Jackie for a handy apple guide! In order to remain unbiased, I'm going to let my own buds do the talking before I check it out.

mmmm! i think you'll like the braeburn as well. it's really the superior apple for homemade apple pies.

also, the beer test sounds fun!

wow. things have gotten intense in this blogosphere! are pink ladies going to find there way into the study? cuz i think they should. and, coming from a person who currently has "the ultimate sour cream taste test" on her to-do list at work (no, I'm not even exaggerating its name), Jackie's previous comment about order bias is totally valid. rotate dem apples!
