An apple a day keeps the doctor away......

Random musings on the fruits we eat at work and at home. Was chomping on a green juicy apple today and thinking about how often we stick with the tried and tested and rarely experiment.....  At work, most of the time, my fruit break is the apple. Perhaps basically as once cut and served up, its not messy to eat even in a meeting or on your desk.

At home, I try to incorporate seasonal fruits into my diet. Currently the last of the strawberries, grapes, plums are what's in my fridge.  With summer round the corner, i look forward to mangoes coming around.

& whatever happened to the plain but delicious Indian oranges, you rarely see them in the grocery stores any more.

As for the apple, have you noticed how many fairy tales have the apple featuring in them. Snowwhite who needs falls into a dead faint after eating the poisoned apple. The Golden apple in The Golden Bird in Grimm Fairy Tales http://www.authorama.com/grimms-fairy-tales-1.html & i am sure many more. Snowwhite's apple sure didnt keep the prince away..... wonder how her doc responded....
