The infamous Honey Crisp, by far the largest apple I have ever seen, though probably not as large as this guy. Anyway, some comparison shots:
I did not eat this apple for some time after I bought it. It stayed in my refrigerator, lording over all the other fruits. Whenever I would reach for it a strange feeling would overtake me and I'd grab something else instead. It was growing a personality. Over the next six days we became fast friends. I even got it to proofread my midterm essay.
However, it's time finally came, and it is with a tinge of sadness that I announce that I ate the apple today. It took 18 and a half minutes to consume. Seriously. And it was delicious. Quite possibly the greatest apple eating experience I've ever had. As with most things worthwhile, the experience was fleeting, and now I look to the future for further explorations in apple eating.
