Modi Apple Review
"The Italian Disgrace"
44
Horse Food
This Italian disgrace, named after famed artist Amedeo Modigliani, is a flavorless lump whose taste is indiscernible from a paper napkin spit on by a donkey. Only those familiar with Modigliani’s work – so, no one – can fully appreciate the appropriateness of this apple’s name. His paintings of distorted, mirthless faces both resemble the warped contours of this knobbly crank as well as the dissatisfied facial expressions of those unfortunate enough to choke down a fruit destined to be forgotten by history. Bonus points for being bred with greenhouse gas emissions in mind.

The review was rubbish, Modi apples are full of flavour sweet and a pleasure to eat. Shame they aren’t available all year.
Hmmm… this is the first time I’m suspicious of a comment.
Probably posted by a horse.
That comment was probably written by Modi’s mother.
A fair theory
I agree with the first comment. Rubbish review. Modis are not perfect but can be very good at optimum ripeness. Crisp and juicy. Subtly perfumed. A wonderful refreshing change when your supermarket usually only sells Pink Lady (overrated) and Gala.
In truth these apples were named after the Prime Minister of India. They are firm and attractive on the outside, but ultimately corrupt to the core.
That is funny!
I just ate my first Modi and declared it the best apple I’d ever had—sweet with a little tartness and super crisp. Decided to Google it and found your review. Proceeded to read your reviews of my other favorites (Opal, Autumn Glory, Cosmic Crisp, Ambrosia, and my *safe choice* Fuji ) Hilarious
Thank you so much!!
I couldn’t disagree with your review more. I found Modi apples in California for the first time ever and love them. They’re very crisp with a little bit of sweetness and I’ve already blown through a couple of bags of these gems. By the way, I don’t think much of your uninformed review of Modigliani either!
The review is rubbish. The taste rating doesn’t reflect actual fresh product, at all.
Rather like a more crips Jonathon.
Good eating
Had one from Coles Australia and agree that these are nice. They remind me of a softer version of a granny smith mixed with a rokit….
I thought I’d give Modi apples a try since they were on sale at $.79 a pound. Mine were crisp, sweet and tasty. Don’t take the word of a comedian. Try them yourself.
“Opinions are like assholes… everyone has one.” Modis are the best apple we’ve ever eaten and we’re finding they’re delicious to cook with as well. Come visit us… we’d like to change your mind. 🙂
Taste is so subjective. I just ate a Modi and it was delicious. If you don’t like them don’t eat them. Move on.
You’re right. I’ll shut down the site.
I just had my first “modi” apple – I loved it. It tasted really good. Great balance between sweet and tart. Looked good too. And again TASTY. Which is rather rare. Too many apples in the supermarket look like apples – but are totally flavorless. And they have become very expensive too. My modis were on sale now I am going to rush back to the store to buy some more. But they are so good that I won’t mind paying the full price. Sorry to hear that they are only seasonal. Oh well…
I’m going to have to formally ask that you amend this injustice labelling the Modi apple as horse food. Perhaps you had one that wasn’t as fresh, or ripe – but I can say that they are my favourite apples after having a few.
I’ll have you know that the curves and contours of this beautiful apple adds to it’s appeal and sexiness – a form worthy of being taken out for a nice stroll or leisurely walk in the park; Its beauty is only rivalled by it’s sheer balance of sweetness and juiciness. Some apples splurge in your mouth and over-indulge the senses leaving you unable to partake in seconds, but the Modi takes it time, draws things out, and leaves you satisfied throughout the experience wanting more.
This review has rocked me to my core, and I look forward to the emendation.
