How do you like them apples?
Everyone knows I am a fan of these apples, but over the past month or so I have developed an insatiable appetite for the more conventional apples. These fruits which are mushy and bland foods only to be eaten because they are “good for you” now have emerged as crunchy and delicious delicacies. I find myself eating several a day, which no doubt puts a dent in my budget. The only wrinkle in my plan to survive off these ruby gems is the dreaded oral allergy syndrome, a cross reactivity between conventional plant allergens and fruits that leaves the eater with a swollen and irritated mouth and lips.
