Oh! I hadn’t realized this, but it makes sense. Unfortunately, I imagine
most apples that I find in the grocery or the juice I find there is
likely to be made from these eating apples.

Anyone have any idea what the names of these cider apples? Or if the
juice is available somewhere? Maybe a dried mix or concentrate for 
cider makers?

Did they make a distinction in period between sweet and cider apples?

Thanks.
