What chemicals do you throw together to make a flavor. I mean, it's not soaked in grape <I>juice</I>, but grape <I>flavoring.</I> That means it's not grape anything at all.<BR/><BR/>Okay, thanks Rick. You totally ruined produce shopping for me, at least at supermarkets. It's a good thing I do most of my produce shopping at the farmer's market.Charleston Catholic / Clay Center Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00124031452016376658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11934331.post-1157494076152971772006-09-05T18:07:00.000-04:002006-09-05T18:07:00.000-04:00I bought some "Grapples" once.

I just looked it up on Wikipedia and it says that they are Washington State grown Fuji apples soaked in grape flavoring.

Don't know what variety because they didn't have labels attached! <BR/><BR/>I think we have lost a connection between local produce, the seasons and what we eat. Mind you, with that mind-set, I would never eat bananas, grapefruit, oranges and grapes!Bob Dinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11622721367942549723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11934331.post-1157325034154641852006-09-03T19:10:00.000-04:002006-09-03T19:10:00.000-04:00I don't know of any local Braeburn apples to compa...I don't know of any local Braeburn apples to compare with.
