There are still a few kinds of apples that I have yet to try, but so far, my favorite is granny Smith. And when I can't find it in the store, I buy galas. Here we don't buy them by the basket--which does happen with mangoes, for example, if you buy them directly from the farmers--but we pay about $4 for a kilo when there is a good deal.
I love seeing so many apples together. Yum-yum!
