    Newton Pipin apples, along with about 15 or more other varieties, several of them "legacy varieties" are available at NYC farmers markets from Samscot Orchards, located in upstate New York.

    I'm originally from the Midwest, and the variety of apples in NY and the quality of NY local apple cider is far better than anything I grew up with.

    Anything special about oysters? (re sustainability/ability to be farmed without poisoning since life span so short/taste/recipes) inspired by "A Geography of Oysters"... also, are there any fishes farmed in China you would personally eat?

    Not a criticism of something Rick said....just point of information!

    Ahi is the Hawaiian word for yellowfin tuna

    Saying "Ahi Tuna" is redundant!

    The Hawaiian word "Ahi" actually translates to "fire"
