The Apple Conspiracy

[fgdfgdgd]

...a meaningful conspiracy discussion...well, now i've seen it all.

I don't actually like pears. I like apples, but when I eat pears I just can't get into the taste (though pears in juice, in a fruit salad, are fine with me).

Overall though, I just prefer any type of berry, and kiwi fruit. Though apple pie and hot custard beats any other desert hands down (well, maybe not rhubarb pie... )...

So this is just an American "thing" again? nowhere else in the world are apples popular? apples aren't very popular in pop culture?

just looking at the statistics on wikipeda shows me that the U.S produces nothing when compared to Europe besides apples trees can be easily grown in any standard bog that experiences glum weather.

I stated the conspiracy started in England. Anyways, I pieced together a Hideo Kojima inspired historical fiction about the apple conspiracy based on the fact that pears don't get the respect they deserve. It's hard to find pear juice, pear pies, pear sauce (which I've never seen, I've actually had pear flavored apple sauce I kid you not), etc. And, I really do feel pears are just better apples. I, for some reason, think pears are more popular in asian countries (due to the asian pear?)than say American. Also, if you have noticed, several juice drinks like Sobe, Mystic, etc. use pear juice in several of their drinks.

I love pears. They are the ultimate autumn fruit.

In fact, I am going to go eat a juicy and delicious pear right now.

I have a Packham/Josephine double grafted tree in my backyard and the Josephine half is covered in blossom. Packhams are my favorite though, ugly little beauties. That said I like a nice crisp apple, like a Pink Lady.

Pears>Apples.
Even canned pears>Apples.
This post exempt if apples combine with pie.

Haha, I actually have had a pear pie before and it was delicious.

Edit: My last post wasn't showing up. Could this be part of the Apple Conspiracy?

It's hard to find pear juice, pear pies, pear sauce (which I've never seen, I've actually had pear flavored apple sauce I kid you not), etc.

it's all about supply and demand, very few people in general do not go for food that are beneficial for health but rather go for food that they like and also has a nostalgic effect, I personally wouldn't mind trying pear pies,sauce or juice however I'm not willing to go great lengths to find it.

I really do feel pears are just better apples.

health-wise? there is very little difference between apples and pears (not to mention genetically as well) regardless the general health advice would be to have a balanced mixture anyway instead more of one over the other

I, for some reason, think pears are more popular in asian countries (due to the asian pear?)than say American.

Asia has their own native sub-specie of pears and would undoubtedly to be quite common as places like China and Japan are very famous for carrying on food/diet tradition (although they are getting fatter through western food ^.^)

Also, if you have noticed, several juice drinks like Sobe, Mystic, etc. use pear juice in several of their drinks.

I have never noticed any pear drinks here in England or at least those brands.

I could go into my local supermarket and find 12-14 different brands of apples and the stock going very low at the end of each day yet the pears there are 2-4 brands which seems to be barely touched each time I visit. really it's just changing people's attitude towards pears might very well increase the dominance and thus more pears

Nah, not health-wise. I just think pears are better apples in pure taste, Pears IMO have more flavor and are juicier. Pears and apples probably have about the same health benefits, I'm sure one is probably a bit healthier than the other.

Also, if you have noticed, several juice drinks like Sobe, Mystic, etc. use pear juice in several of their drinks.

I'm not talking about pear drinks, several fruit drinks that aren't pear flavored have pear juice in them. It's always a bit surprising to read the contents of food products.
