How do you like them apples?

I love English apples, and really look forward to this time of year when the Cox's Orange Pippins reappear in the shop. They're possibly the most delicious fruit ever made. That bloke Cox was a genius, even if he couldn't tell an orange from an apple.

So when my Granddad asked if I'd like him to get me some when he went apple picking at a nearby orchard, I eagerly said yes.

Perhaps a little too eagerly. My granddad, as I may have mentioned before, doesn't do things by halves. This was on our doorstep when I got home today:

How do you like *them* apples?

About a treesworth (official measurement for apples, I checked) of Cox's. And another bag of its tart cooking cousin, the Bramley.

Er... apple jam anyone?
Dan  Today I picked my first crop of apples from the trees I planted in my garden last year. They were most satisfying 
Billy  Apple crumble is always good. 
Jane  I'm thinking apple chutney myself. 
Anonymous  I'm not very into iPods, sorry.
