They are called toffee apples, not apple toffee, and they are not
unusual at all. They have been sold in supermarkets since my children
were small. Before that, they were a favourite at school fetes. When
done well they are great.

From my perspective, they're unusual. I know that they're common in
Australian supermarkets. That was my point.

Here's an unusual item usually found in Australian supermarkets:

<https://www.woolworths.com.au/Shop/ProductDetails/132067/apple-toffee>

It's so unusual , I had to Google to find out what it's called.

We call them toffee apples. We had them a lot when we were children)

I knew it. Every time something's traditionally Australian, it's
originally English.

But are you also familiar with custard apples?

We have nothing by that name. We have either candy apples or caramel. Mostly
available in grocery stores in the fall but you can get specialty ones
online. The candy apples have a hard coating. I haven't had one since I was
a kid. It had a hot cinnamon coating and it was very hard to eat. I couldn't
bite through the coating and licking it took forever. These days I think
they come in a variety of flavors.

Of the two, caramel apples are more common, at least in this area. The
bottom might be dipped in nuts, sprinkles or chocolate chips. I bought a few
last fall at a greatly reduced price. Nobody ate them so I decided to try
one. One tiny bite was enough to tell me why I hadn't had one in years.
While the one bite was nice, I didn't want any more of it and that was that.

They're called Cherimoya here. I bought one when we lived in CA. Didn't
appeal to anyone,.

I tend not to buy bulk stuff. Winco is the exception. Their stuff sells
fast. My mom used to put bulk popcorn and dried beans in my Christmas
stocking. I kept begging her not to buy that stuff because the store she
bought it from (no longer there) sold old goods. I suspected that the
popcorn was the source of those weevils I got in my cupboard some years
back. This was confirmed from reading online reviews not long before the
store closed.

I also dislike buying produce that doesn't last long. This seems to be
common with what I buy from Whole Foods and sometimes Winco, but Trader Joes
is the worst with their stuff sometimes being rotten when I buy it. Most of
what they sell is sealed in tight plastic so it feels firm to the touch.
Then you open it and it's bad. Also saw a problem when the newest to this
area Costco first opened. We were there the first day. I had gone to buy
produce and left with none. I think in that case, they put it out and it had
been sitting there for many days before the store opened.

I don't know about this location. When it was Safeway, it was never busy, no
matter when I went in there. It was also one of their smaller stores. And
it's not very far from Central Market which seems to be similar. But...
Central Market has been disappointing me. For some reason, they just keep
cutting back on the number of items they sell. The produce and meat are
still good, but it seems when I go for other things, they flat out quit
selling them.

I haven't had one in years either but I have seen them in shops with
sprinkles on the tops

We had a woman near us who made and sold toffee apples. We always bought
them from her)

The toffee was beautifully thin and crispy. Not hard to eat at all. I
don't know what modern ones are like though. I daren't trust my fillings

I like them. Not enough to pay Australian supermarket prices for them,
but still. I'm growing one tree from seed, but it could be years
before it bears fruit, if ever.

A bit like vanilla custard, with big seeds through it. Big enough to
work around fairly easily.

I think you (and I in NL) don't know them is that they can't handle
frost.

Everything comes to those who wait - there is a nice plump bud on my
Sarah Bernhardt peony I planted two years ago. I knew at the time
that it takes 2/3 years.

Isn't that a flower? Does the bud become the flower?

If that is the case then no, I very much doubt we could grow them, but I
suppose we could import them.

Yes, you'd think so, but I've never seen them in the Netherlands.
Maybe there's no demand.

Plenty of exotic fruit and veg that "can't handle frost" are sold in
UK supermarkets. Including custard apples.

Bullies post slaps and death threats, Julie. No doubt you're so
accustomed to physical abuse at home, you think its normal.

Yes, correct. Here it dies completely back in winter.

Couldnt find it in Darwin, Brisbane or Townsville. 2001-2007. Odd to
me but it's not like they didnt have lots of other things that would be
usable in it's place. In fact, a lot more variation there.

Custard. Which is why we don't like them. We don't like custard.

Give it a shot then? You may not find it all to your liking but it may
make a good second store for rthe fresh stuff if there's a place with
the simple other stuff along the same route.

These don't look like flea bites and both cats have just been to the vet. So
no fleas. I felt the first bite itching right after I killed a spider near
my computer. The ones we are seeing are the same. All black and sort of
thick/chunky looking. Perhaps 1/2" from end to end. Others have been posting
pics of them on FB as they have them too but nobody seems to know what they
are. I will do some more searching later. So far I turned up no spider known
to this area that looks like this.

A person on my FB was also bitten last night but her bites do not look like
mine. Several of us have tried to get her to go to the hospital based on the
symptoms she is listing. She went to the Dr. and is on antibiotics but she
seems to be getting worse by the minute. Her bite marks are huge and almost
purple/black. Mine look more like I had small strawberries smashed onto my
leg.

I believe that spiders, as opposed to fleas etc., only bite in
self-defense, so to have many bites, you must have had many
confrontations with them that you didn't notice.

I guess what I posted links to, isn't what you meant. If you mean what
I'd call "grape jam", then you're right. I don't think I've seen that
here. Although I never look at that section much.

Ophelia knew them too. Maybe it's an Anglo thing.
