Farmer's Glory

Product Information

By this time we had had enough. We had been there far too long and there was still 3 more courses to arrive. We asked for the bill. Full price it said! So we queried this with the owner Terri and the head chef who i presume is her partner. They were raging that we had the cheek to complain about there establishment. No apology just disgust that we hadnt enjoyed there efforts. After telling us to just get in our cars and leave and swearing at us at the bar we walked out halfway through our Christmas meal. Well-known russet apple, widely available commercially in season. Alas, originates from Lord Egremont's estate in Sussex, rather than from the West Cumbrian town. Medium fruit, russetted with yellow/green skin and dry, white flesh. At its best, flavour is delicious, nutty. In recent years we have had excellent crops of high quality apples, but the trees took a long time to come fully into production. We were all extremely upset and disapointed and it ruined our day. We had gone there to relax and it was the most stressful day we had ever had.

Early-late September. Red-flushed, conical apple, medium sized fruit. Flesh is white, chewy with a hint of strawberry. At its best, one of the best flavoured apples we grow. A choice variety, but scab can be a problem. This apple originates in Scotland, but does not quite match the official description! May be mis-named. Anarkali Indian restaurant Haslingden is a hidden gem, and is one of Lancashire’s premier Indian restaurants which is loved by Indian food lovers from far and wide. October to December. Mediumapple, red flush and faint red stripes over gold. Firm fleshed with sweet- sharp, pear-drop quality, almost spicy. In some seasons benefits from thinning. Blossom is most attractive. Well-known commercial apple, bred in Australia. Surprisingly perhaps, we have found it crops satisfactorily in our difficult climate. Flavour of northern-grown apples is quite acidic, but refreshing! Skin is blushed red over the familiar green. Tree is not vigorous, and quite compact. Along with other thorny things like totara and gorse, cattle will avoid them unless fed hard, but horses or goats will not blink at the odd spine, so you do need to protect them.Birds can be a problem so hang up old CDs and build elaborate scarecrows with battery timers and big hats. Net the bushes if desperate. There were some good points - the food was beautifully presented, my salmon was in a delicious sauce, (would have liked more of this sauce) and the waiter there when we needed him but not over attentive

A Laxton apple, from the early 20th century. Cox crossed with Wealthy, small apples and prone to scab, but good flavour. Modern apple, bred for disease resistance in organic systems. Flavour is sweet and quite conventional. We have not found it to be as disease resistant as we hoped - scab and canker mainly. Our restaurant has recently undergone a full refurbishment, and now offers a modern, cozy and comfortable environment for you to come and enjoy our fine Indian dining experience. We offer a wide variety of dishes on our menu and cater for all, from small to large parties, to weddings and any special occasion. Mid-August. Deep red flush over pale base, flesh white, juicy, with a melting flavour. At its best, one of the best flavoured early apples, with a flavour that cannot be experienced inany commercially available apple.Fruit is medium/large. Susceptible to canker, however. Late September to January. Oblong-conical fruitwith predominant ribbing. Flushed red over green base.Quite rich, cream flesh.Like currants, they thrive in high latitudes and cold arctic climates – I know they grow very well in northern Scotland – which would suggest they will do better the further south you go in New Zealand .

Flesh is white, crisp, juicy.Flesh can be tinted pink when fully ripe (like the others on this list, it will ripen in the fruit bowl).About Wadworth: Wadworth is an independent family brewer and regional pub operator, very proud of its West Country roots.
