My aunt, when I was about 8 years old, and she was about 15, she
climbed up into an apple tree which had green apples. She ate em.
She got fookin' sick and was bitchy.

Oh, Good Heavens, NO! Why not let the "eating apple" EAT the "cooking
apple". I'm sure that would be best?! ;-)

I like eating cooking apples. I think calling them cooking apples is a big
mistake.

Of course but you may not like it. Some apples just have a better texture
for cooking.

I think most people don't call them that. They call them by name. Like
yellow delicious or granny smith.

I agree. I have never heard the terms "cooking apples" and "eating apples"
before this thread.

I seem to remember large green apples that were used primarily for
cooking when I was a child in Britain. I don't think I've ever seen them
in the US. Granny Smiths have a more pleasant texture than those
"cooking apples" and I quite like eating them. IMHO, no type of
"Delicious" apple is worth using; perhaps horses might like them.

Incidentally, quite recently I acquired an apple corer/splitter and I
much prefer using it to taking bites out of an apple.

Those large apples are Bramleys. They are about 3 times the size of a
Granny Smith and almost as tart as a lemon (well not quite). They
make wonderful pies. I used to enjoy eating them as a kid. I haven't
see them in the US although I've asked at farmer's markets.

Other English apples that are sometimes available are Russets and
various close relatives of Coxes Orange Pippins.

Yes! Thanks; now I remember the name "Bramleys". I've never seen any
apples like Coxes Pippins in the US. I'd love to find a source.

Well then...why the hell did you even start this asinine thread?

I've never seen an applke labeled just "cooking apple" or just "eating
apple".... have you?

I've heard that term "cooking apple" used as a reference to a particular
type of apple. "Its a good cookign apple" just as if you'd say "its a
good all purpose paint". No one I've ever heard takes that to mean one
can't also eat it raw out of hand, just that it hold desirable
properties when cooked.

I don't like Red Delicious either.

According to this cite, there are dessert apples, cooking apples and
cider apples:

Some cooking apples, like crab apples, are pretty much inedible by
themselves when raw.

Very interesting.

I didn't even know they were edible until I saw them at Whole Foods.

My mum would occasionally make an apple pie from the abundantly
available wild apples of rural oregon, little, tart green things.
I actually prefer them for apple pie.
