Tasmanian Apples
Tasmania is nothing good but for Cadbury chocolate and nature. Other than that, being the world known producers of Tasmanian Salmon, the fish ain't any cheap or easily found. Fish and chips are extremely expansive. Even the fish and chips shops around my pad are WAY cheaper than what they offer.
Well, two things that are obviously cheap and nice are oysters and apples. Tasmanian apples are infamously famous. Fuji apples ain't from Fuji or Japan! They're from Tasmania!
Tasmanian apples are mostly from the southern part of the island. We were rolling down the island in our rented Corolla and there are tonnes of beautiful apples and pears orchard. Heading towards Huonville and there is apple orchards along the road which offer the best, juiciest, sweetest, reddest, biggest apple with no wax! Fresh from the tree!
There are unmanned huts along the highway where we picked up bags of beautiful big juicy apples and they're the best apples that I've eaten in my life. Those apples in the supermarket ain't fresh, those in the market ain't the best apples and the worst thing is they're all waxed and polished and just full of chemicals. No wonder mum insisted me to skin it off.
A bag of apples.. I mean a BIG bag of apples with 12-15 apples in it only cost $2. Some bigger bags, $3. Pears as well, a mixed type of apple and pear which I call them apear as well. Which makes me wonder why those apples in the supermarket is so so so expansive!
I thought I got a big palm. Kids shaking my hand say I got King Kong hands. Compare it to the apples, I can't even grab the whole apple! But the funny thing is, they're all red apples! Maybe Tasmania didn't produce good green apples...
The only green apple trees I saw was when I visited the Cascade brewery. In the Cascade garden, there were a few green apple trees. Cascade brewery is the oldest brewery in Australia but their beer ain't as good as the Little Creature's pale ale in Perth. I bought a bottle of Cascade Premium and honestly, I don't like it. Never like lager beers. Ales are better!
