This week's episode takes us not to the local supermarket, but to the world famous Pike Street Market in Seattle and to one of the fruit and vegetable vendors there. Here in this world famous market we find an interesting little gem.
Its the Grapple! An apple crossed with a grape? How can that work? I am not sure of the science behind it, but it works. What you have is a crisp, delicious apple with the flavor and taste of a grape. This amazing little fruit has is trademarked and seems to be grown in Washington state like a lot of apples and then the fruit undergoes a "bathing process" in the grape flavor.

We bought a small bag of them at a fruit and vegetable stand at the Pike Street Market. The vocal marketing of the stand personnel really worked on us!
You can order them up via mail order and enjoy.
