Yes, quite! I eat the core practically always, except when I reach the core and it's suddenly all dark brown or icky. Fortunately that doesn't happen very often, so it doesn't really count.
I think there are some kinds where the core is actually just TOO hard and the thingies get stuck in my throat, but I tend not to eat those apples.
Some apples just don't seem to know that the core is meant to be edible. Just like some have horribly twiggy stalks... don't they realise that some poor hapless apple eaters sometimes forget to remove them?
Pear cores are another matter. Part of them is always far too woody to eat.
Yes, I agree about pear cores. Never eat those either. Also, they tend to be a lot more sour than the rest of the pear.
And the stalks... I eat them when they're nice and fleshy, but with the apples we get, that happens very seldom. If it's just a dry twig, then I generally just throw it away (unless I'm incredibly bored and have nothing else to do than chew on a small twig).
