Anyone for guacamole? #Scrumping

Picked these from my absent neighbour’s neglected and overgrown #wildlife friendly old orchard - with his permission so not really #scrumping !
I think they are a heritage dual purpose variety called Orleans Reinette. Masses left for the birds!

#Scrumping Southwick Splendids (made up name) what was #TheArchers best apple called I'm sure these are a match for them

Use a little honey instead

We used to blanch and slice them for tarts etc.

Freeze as many as you can

Damn girl!
I wanna come #scrumping in your garden

When are you away next?

I'll leave #hats and #sausages to say thanks xx

Miss Xev is taking part in the time honoured tradition of apple scrumping. No unguarded apple is safe on this foggy day. #scrumping #apples #autumn #poodle #dogsofbluesky #foggy #pictureoftheday

Two damsons in my right hand. My dog is blurred walking in front of me

My right hand holding a half eaten red apple. My dog walks in front of me along a footpath surrounded by bushes on either side.

Been #scrumping BlueSky. Check out my nice pair..... 😘

Yes this is correct. What Both #evolutionarybiologists and #archaeologists won’t tell you is that #sapience and by extension #civilization was always an excuse to get #drunk

New study proposes that "scrumping"—ape foraging for fermented fallen fruit—may explain both our enzymatic adaptation to alcohol and the deep evolutionary roots of feasting. 🍌🧬 #Anthropology #Archaeology #Primatology #HumanEvolution #FermentedFruits #Scrumping #AlcoholAdaptation #GreatApes

Scrumping Apes and the Ancient Roots of Human Feasting How fallen fruit, fermentation, and social sharing shaped our evolutionary appetite

Why do humans feast and drink together? New research suggests it started 10 million years ago—when apes scrumped fermented fruits off the forest floor. 🍌🍷 #Anthropology #Primates #HumanEvolution #Feasting #Alcohol #Scrumping
