slo’s TUESDAY poll - Biting Into vs. Cutting Up An Apple

[slo]

How do you normally eat an apple?
Biting into it or cutting it up?


For Me…..Cutting it up - always!
I have no idea when the last time was that I bit into an apple. I can’t express enough how much I don’t like doing that - weird, I know - LOL!

Now a days I like my apples cut. I also, love my apples dipped in caramel.

Yes, that is yummy.
I like my apples peeled too. I will eat the apple peel, but if I have the time, I will always peel it.

Oh the good ole days of biting into apples alas that time has passed…..nowadays it’s cut up please don’t want to break any teeth Haa haa
I like my apples in an apple pie !!!

mostly cutting....if at home always.
Biting when out somewhere, like the zoo. I would rather bite an apple than eat an apple that turned brown.
And always the skin.....that's where the fiber is. Even when cooking with them and in salads too

 

[mumto3girls]

Usually will cut it up. I feel like I get more apple stuck in my teeth if I bite into it. I never peel it—the good for you stuff is in the peel!

 

[mamamary]

I just bite into mine. Some here at home always cut them up.

It really depends on the size of the apple. A small one I will bite into, a larger one I will cut up first.

 

[mrodgers]

Never cut up. My mother just gave me an apple cutter actually. Tried it. It's a whole different eating experience biting vs. cutting it up. Somehow it seems to taste different.

For snacking I just polish it up and bite, for cooking/salads I peel and cut it up. I go through fruit jags where I’ll eat several servings of something every day for weeks or a month - apples are mostly an autumn thing for me.

If the apple is extremely juicy, then I prefer to cut it but if it's a tarter variety biting is good. Mainly I used apples as a substitute for celery.

 

[Dan Murphy]

Almost always cut. I like a cut up apple with a dollop of peanut butter on the plate for dipping.

 

[bobbiwoz]

Both because I don’t always have a knife when I am eating an apple.

 

[NAB]

I do both.
Only peel apples if they are going into a pie. I remember my mom cutting the peel in one long strip and give it to us kids when she made pie.

Royal Gala are my go too, macintosh for pie. Don’t like green apples .

I cut up at home, but bite when I'm out. (I think I eat apples more often at home, so I voted that I cut up more often).

 

[fla4fun]

Neither, as I don’t like apples. It’s a texture thing. I don’t mind the flavor, but the texture is like wet sawdust.

 

[Breezy_Carol]

I always cut up. I think it may have started 50+ years ago when I had braces and was not supposed to bite into a whole apple and it just stayed with me.

We were on vacation last year in a motel with a bagged continental breakfast. There was an apple in each days meal so I had to go to the local Dollar Tree to buy a knife so I could eat them.

 

[Schneewittchen37]

Both. Depends on my mood. Though apples aren't my favorite anymore. They make my gums itch sometimes.

 

[MIGrandma]

Prefer to cut in thin wedges. Usually peel it too.

 

[evilmommie]

I LOVE apples but I have to have them cut up these days. Teeth are sensitive.
