Preach it. Here in Sweden, you can find imported Hershey's crap in just about any 7-11 or Pressbyrån, but it's right next to other options from Marabou, Fazer, and other local/regional chocolates. Though the fact that Marabou is popular actually kind of pisses me off, because it merged with Kraft back in 1993, and fuck them.

What kind of apples have you been eating? There are some apples that are just plain shitty when it comes to eating them. I've encountered no end of various shit-apples that taste apple-y but just have this bland, mealy taste and texture to them. For me, the only brand of apple that I like is Granny Smith, because it's crisp and feels like you're crunching into something fresh when you bite into it, and because it has a very tart flavor, like I just ate the natural version of a Sour Patch Kid or whatever. There's just a huge variety of different breeds of apples. I suspect if you don't like apples, you've probably only ever had shitty breeds before. There are a bunch of breeds that are pretty much only good for making pies and shit, and if you try to eat them it's just going to be disappointing as hell.

Why does it have to be a race thing, though? I know a ton of "whiteys" who fucking love food with various spices in it, and can appreciate the subtle nuances of this spice versus that spice. I'm one of them. But I know a ton of white people who also have not a goddamned clue as to what makes an actual tasty dish or not, for the majority of people. It's kind of true that people from non-majority-white areas of the world tend to have a better take on cooking, but at the same time that just seems weirdly racist to point out.
