A variety of eating apple raised around 1904 by Reverend Ellison of Bracebridge Manse and Mr Wipf, Head Gardener to Revd Ellison's brother at Harthsholme Hall in Lincolnshire from Cox's Orange Pippin and Calville Blanc. It is medium-sized and golden yellow striped and flushed blushed with crimson. It was introduced commercially 7 years later in 1911 by Pennells of Lincoln and won the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Merit in the same year. There is a note of aniseed in the flavour which does not suit all palates but which can be wonderful. This mid-season variety is harvested from mid- to late-September in South-East England and does not have good storage properties. Picked early it is crisp and bright, but it goes soft if left on the tree.
"The North."The northern part of Mexico, ir El Norte, including Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, Nuevo León, Sonora and Tamaulipas, is the home of most of the foods that the rest of the world considers to be Mexican, including burritos, nachos and fajitas. Northern Mexico is divided from the rest of the country by deserts and marshes, which prevented the Azrtecs moving this far north. The sparsity of good arable or farming land meant that the indigenous people were mainly nomadic, searching for food where they could find it and taking their flocks with them. Roast goat is a popular dish as is roast beef. Baja California and Baja California Sur in the north west differ from the rest of Northern Mexico as the peninsula is fertile, with an almost Mediterranean climate, and much of the food comes from the sea in the form of fish and shellfish. It was nto until the 16th Century that migrants from other areas of Mexico began to arrive, bringing their appetites with them.
