minus-square𝕽𝖚𝖆𝖎𝖉𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖌𝖍@midwest.socialOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoI have never. Do they taste like apples?
minus-squareMs. ArmoredThirteenlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month agoNo not at all but a good one has a nice crunch to it, kinda like a water chestnut, and they can make a nice snap sound like an apple
