I have to preface this by telling you that I ate a Macintosh last week and I was disappointed. It looked like this:
Pretty ugly. So I tasted it, wrote my little review, and accidentally forgot to post it.
Then, I was at the store on Friday and saw this crazy looking apple and thought "I should eat me one of those," and then realized it was also a Macintosh, except this time it looked like this:
Which led me to believe that the first time around, I might've gotten a bad apple.
(oh how long I've waited to say that!)
Taste: The first Mac had the distinct aftertaste of licorice! How strange. The second one was less ripe so the flavor was tart but less licorce-y.
Texture: Gushy, ew ew ew. I had the same response to the second apple as well. The skin was also waxy which is not something you want going down the pipe.
Price: $1.28 / lb.
Attractiveness: I'm digging the exposed-film look.
Rating: 3 seeds, and 1 of those is purely because I didn't gag, and the other 2 are for the bitchin' look it's got going on. (Wow, that did not work at all). I don't want to eat one of these again unless I find out it was out-of-season or is supposed to be a cooking apple or something. THERE MUST BE AN ANSWER.
