Apple Review 0012: Ambrosia Gold | AppleQuest
Переглядів 343 місяці тому
Let’s eat all the apples! Ambrosia is from the ancient Greek ἀμβροσία, meaning 'not mortal,' or immortal. As a substance, it's typical meaning translates to 'food (or drink) of the Gods.' And as an apple, Ambrosia Gold marks our twelfth foray into the world of apples, and it's a tasty one. I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing.

    The less romantic cold truth of the Fuji apple! Interesting geography lesson here. And all ties in with the supportive diplomatic relationship between Japan and Fuji the last few decades. I think there was some rumblings of Japan supporting Fuji in some national effort a couple years ago. I don't know my contemporary geo-political history. I actually thought they spoke Japanese in Fuji up until a decade or so ago! Anyway, I mostly just like the crisp and sweet bite I can reliably count on with that apple! Thanks

      It’s kind of funny that you would say that because just the other day I was thinking about how apples don’t have any pretense to them, like if you wanted to learn about wine. There’s that certain sort of stigma to it that apples just don’t have. And if I may be so bold, if you have the good taste to be watching AppleQuest videos, you can’t possibly be that uncultured. lol

    Oh, and one last thing: I know it can be hard to relax and "act natural" in front of the camera. The best piece of advice I stumbled across that actually helped me improve in my videos, is to just pretend you're recording a video for just your best friend, or your significant other, etc. Just imagine that you're talking to someone you can act natural with, and use that energy. It really helped me. I subscribed, liked, and this makes the third comment. I can see your passion, and I love what you're doing! Seriously, you're already doing great, and I can't wait to see what you've got in store. For some video ideas: you could make a series about the best things to eat with apples! What's your take on caramel, peanut butter, etc.? Anyway, sorry for ranting, just wanted to wish you will and let you know you've got a fan.

    Interesting history, I didn't know any of this before. The Golden Delicious name kind of worked I guess because I always mentally compared it favorably to the Red Delicious and was more satisfied getting it. Now reflecting on it, you're right, it's a rather meh grocery store apple.

    Hay bro, I heard farmers market. Tomatoes are a lot better than grocery store tomatoes. Probably similar with apples. tomatoes grown in the ground are a lot better than tomatoes from grocery stores because I guess a lot of tomatoes in grocery stores are grown hydroponically, not in the ground. I don’t know about the apples though.

    • @aqjason
      @aqjason 4 місяці тому

      I have some friends out in Pennsylvania who have definitely fallen down what they refer to as the tomato rabbit hole; that is, with so many varieties, there’s a lot out there to try. Just like with apples. And they have mentioned the same point you bring up about produce in general being far superior when you go directly from farm to face instead of having a middle man in between. Thank you for your comment, and enjoy the rest of your weekend. 🍎🍏

    I was like "I bet you know more Swahili words than you think," and googled it, and I actually know more Swahili words than I think, too. I never knew kibosh was Swahili, I always thought it was Yiddish! Same with Kanzi, never knew it was Swahili and assumed it was Japanese! Here are some Swahili loan words common in English: Safari: meaning journey or expedition, often used to refer to a trip to observe wildlife in Africa. Simba: meaning lion, popularized by the Disney movie "The Lion King." Hakuna matata: meaning "no problem" or "no worries," also popularized by "The Lion King." Jumbo: meaning hello or welcome, often used in greeting or as an exclamation. Karibu: meaning welcome. Kibosh: meaning to put an end to something, often used in the phrase "put the kibosh on." Uhuru: meaning freedom, it was used as a slogan during the struggle for Kenyan independence.
