Charmion, I had a clear flashback to the tastiness of those apples when I was sent to hide my observation post party and its armoured personnel carrier in an abandoned orchard on the Gagetown ranges. We reversed among the trees and I found my crew commander's hatch right under an apple tree full of fruit. I pulled one off and bit into it. It was so far from the mealy apples we were finding in stores that I ordered the crew to stop what they were doing and to plunder the tree for any fruit that was fit. We shortly got new move orders and my driver fired up the carrier with an apple in his yap like a sucking pig as we drove off.
