Forbidden Fruit Turns Out To Be Yummy

It's at least ten years since I ate an apple. I'm not fruit-o-phobic or anything; I'm pretty good at eating good healthy stuff and downing my government recommended five portions on most days.
It's just I haven't really liked apples for the majority of my adult life.

Yesterday saw me being served up with a moderately over-priced but quite yummy mixed cheese ploughman's which came complete with shiny Braeburn.

I reckon that it's a good thing to revisit foods that you've abandoned eating every once in a while, just to see if you made the right decision.

Mrs The Millbrooker was sufficiently astonished that I was actually going to eat the serpent's juicy bauble, having never done so in her presence before, that I had to wait until the camera was poised to capture the fateful moment. The resultant shot is the one above.

I'm pleased to report that whilst I won't be going out of my way to chomp down on a myriad such fruit, I also won't be avoiding them in quite the way that I have done in the past.

Perhaps it's time to revisit celery. On the other hand, celery is undoubtedly still a horrid putrid thing of no benefit to man nor beast.
