Recently tried a "Grapple" pronounced "GRAPEple"

Its a apple grape cross no kidding looks like a apple but it seems to have grape seeds instead of normal apple seeds They are quite good and leave a wonderful fragrence on your lips .I bet it would make a interesting hard cider or wine..
Not sure if it some weird DNA sceince project or a apple was spliced on a grapevine or visa veresa any comments ?
what are your thoughts on crossing foods.
Mabie they can invent a half cow half tofu for you veggies out there :)
here is a example of a phoney one that they just put juice in it

"Grapple," wasn't that one of the Fabs' record labels? :joker:

These mutated fruits and vegies crack me up. I imagine some bored and/or mad farmer stressing over new "breeds". As the county fair approaches the farmer screams to the gods, shaking fist in air-- "where's my banapple, dammit?"
