Random poll of the day

As I'm sitting here in the office, eating an apple, a question occurred to me.

...except when the core is all manky and horrid. They are in some apples, for some reason. I suspect pesticides or something.

...OTOH, my mum does. She eats cores and peels (disregarding my protestations about pesticides not being washed off.) Quite handy when we are together, though.
And I use them in fruit preserves, if this can keep the blame off me :)))

My mum is a core devourer. I am not!

The peel is the good part though! Seriously, it has pectin, which helps prevent cancer. I just wash well.

Core though? I'm surprised anyone *does* eat them.

Not that I eat apples anymore, anyway, but the cores have always grossed me out. I love the (organic) peel, though. As long as it isn't waxed.

I don't eat the apple either.

Frankly, it never occurred to me that cores were edible any more than the seeds.

[writermerrin.livejournal.com]

Oh, wait, now I'm curious. What about the seeds?

[ozymandiasrex.livejournal.com]

I never eat the core. Quite frankly, I tend to not even eat the entirety of the flesh. It seems that when I get it close to the core, I seem to just be finished with it. My mother used to say "there is plenty more apple there. Finish it."

But I never did.

I don't eat the core, but I nibble it down to twig form.
