Thread Name: BS: Your favorite antique apple varieties
Subject: RE: BS: Your favorite antique apple varieties
I'd second Egremont Russet. There are also other russet varieties around, but you'll never see those in the shops - hard enough finding Egremont Russets. The Botanical Gardens in Cambridge runs an Apple Day every year, but sadly we couldn't make it yesterday.

They're not antiques, but it's difficult to do better than a Discovery flavour-wise.
