Apple corer

While AA was looking for some Noddy videos for little A, he came across these kid's recipe videos. This one's called Noddy's Apple Car Delight.

After watching this tiny video, AA and I looked at each other, eyes wide open and with the same thought - "Are you thinking what I'm thinking" kinds. It was the apple corer which amused us the most. We didn't care a damn about the recipe, the cooking time nor how it tasted at the end of it. Our first thing on the to-buy list for the weekend was,
1. Apple Corer.



We were not even sure if we get them here in Haifa or anywhere in Israel for that matter. Our enthusiasm to own it was like, we were even ready to drive to IKEA (60km away) the same day.
Luckily i had to do some daily needs shopping yesterday. We ran out of milk already. Usually we pick up our weekly needs on Friday morning. But, this week, blame it on the weather, we consumed our milk tetra packs little earlier than usual as those cold-choco-drinks every evening! Anyways, while i was eying those delicious summer mangoes, AA was eying for the corer - and he did triumph! Not even for a second did we think that we would locate it in the hypermarket that we frequent every week. It's called the Shufersal. It's like Israel's Walmart, a one stop shop for everything from Vegetables to Spice corner to a Pharmacy.

Anyways, we welcome home the corer. Along with it, we happened to buy many many seeded fruits :-) in order to test it! So we enjoyed a good-evening-fruity-snack. Once again in the morning a good number of apples and plums for breakfast. I'm making little A to play a game with it, like using it as a telescope or seeing or spotting me through it and then the apple becomes his friend and he eats it too without any complaints!



As i write about this corer here, a friend of mine just mentioned about the age-old slicer or the wedger. The slicer opens up the apple and gives us 6-8 slices, separates the core and the apple for a second would like a fully bloomed flower. But that's very very beneficial for instanct consumption and for very very orthodox men and women. But for travel or to make recipes with apple rings or for folks who relish every bite of the apple, the corer is the best! I love to bite the apple as is and enjoy it, rather than slicing it up and allowing it to get DARK or brown or oxidize. I don't care about my grandmas saying - echal,10,11... The only hindrance till date was the core and the seeds. Towards the end of it as i approached the core, i always felt like a mouse or squirrel trying to grab those tiny chunks between the seeds. But now, hurray, the corer has relieved me of that trouble too.
