Apple: Ambrosia

On the recommendation of a stranger, we bought a couple of Ambrosia apples at the supermarket on Sunday. It's apparently a new variety, and looks a bit like a large Gala (similar coloring, and about as tall, but with a larger girth). cattitude said "I'm afraid it's a classic Washington apple," and I agree (although the ones we got are from B.C.): very crisp, some juice, a little sweetness, and almost no flavor.

If what you like in an apple is crispness, you might want to try this, since last fall's crop is still crisp in March.
