Happens that I can taste fresh-pressed apple cider and tell you exactly what variety of apples were used in the pressing.

Eew! Keep your poor mangled apple remnants to yourself!

However, if you care to slice up the apples humanely and, perhaps, bake them with sugar and cinnamon inside a pastry crust, you *might* be able to persuade me to take a bite or two.

What a dull and uninteresting life your taste buds lead.

I'm fairly certain that my taste buds, like yours, only sense sweet, sour, bitter, salty, and umami. And they're not deprived of any of it! ;-)

What the heck is **humanely** slicing? In January, apples sold from CA cold storage are technically asleep. So, I suppose to fit your bizarre sense of *humane,* I should wait until I buy CA/January apples to make an apple pie/sauce?

I never thought fruit/vegetables need to be treated humanely. Guess PETA hasn't brain-washed me yet.

You'd really like to go tuna fishing with us. We actually kill fish. Yum!
