I don't read all of your messages, so I did not know if you have an
apple corer (although the one I showed really had the advantage of
slicing it). I do read enough of your messages to know that DH demands
an unreasonable number of things. My point was that it is unreasonable
for him to expect you to run all over the place to find apples (and
other items) bagged in a specific way. I knew from your message that he
would reject anything else, but my suggestion really was by way of
saying to give him his apples sliced in a way that would be convenient
for you (better yet, give him a whole apple) and tell him to eat it that
way or find his own. He's an adult; he does not need a servant.
