Random Post: A Better Way to Eat an Apple

Just before I left Edmonton, my office mate and fellow PhD student, Alec Casey told me about a new way to eat an apple. I believe he said he saw it on a video online.

Normally when I eat an apple, I start along one side (top being defined by the stem) and eat my way around the core.  But then you are left with the core, and usually a fair bit of the fruit as well.

Alec told me to eat the apple top down (or bottom up) instead of from the sides allowing you to eat pretty much the entire apple without noticing the core at all (except the seeds). WHAT!? Alec said he was doubtful at first but found that it was true.

I was pretty dubious but gave it a try, I mean what was the worst that could happen, I could eat a few apple seeds, ingest a little cyanide (a really small amount), and discover that I did not enjoy eating the apple that way.

BUT IT WORKED!! It is truly great. You really do not notice the core. I eat my apples this way all the time. Thanks Alec!.

Here are a few pictures:

AND GIVE IT A TRY!
