Queen Anne cherries are better, IMHO. But more expensive. In cherry season, I keep a bowl of either one on the counter for walk-by grabs. I also have an apple every night for my midnight snack. I've become and apple snob but I'll spare everyone my ramblings on that!
We grow lots of stuff in Florida but not apples or cherries. Who knows how old the apples are I buy at the store? My dad goes up to Ohio to see my uncle and he gets me apples when he's there at the right time. They are so much better than what I get in the grocery store around here.
