Help
I have a serious question for anyone living near Minnesota. Have you tried a SweeTango apple? Is it as good as the hype? Here in Virginia they grow Honey Crisp apples. The Honey Crisp is a direct ancestor and probably the best apple I've ever eaten. I have not seen any SweeTango apples this far south.

I read John Seabrook's story in the New Yorker. I usually listen to NPR on Saturdays in the car but I haven't been out in the car today. I really should tie their streaming feed into my computer addiction.

From the SweetTango website:
How things change! Growing up in Minnesota we ate bass and pickerel for fish and whatever was hanging on the neighbor's tree for apples. Herring and SweetTangoes. Minnesota will never be the same. And no one ever said "He really had a command of the fish.”

He said SweeTango was a natural choice for his herring dish because of the apple’s ties to Minnesota. (SweeTango was developed at the University of Minnesota.)
Lead judge Don Miller, executive chef at the University of Notre Dame, praised Chef Ron’s creation.
“Chef Ron’s entrée was phenomenal,” Miller said in a press release from the University of Minnesota. “He really had a command of the fish.”

What no walleye? I thought Walleye were big in Minnesota. I caught one once in a lake/reservoir near DC. Threw it back so someone else around here could catch one. They are the toothiest fish I've ever seen. I wonder how it got down here.

There aren't any bus stops near that lake.
