FRIEND OR FAUX? ¶ I approach this tasting with the knowledge that my sample is not the legendary English cider apple, Foxwhelp . Today's is a different apple that was confused with the real thing in North America decades ago. Still, this is a cultivated variety, worth tasting. I assume it resembles the true Foxwhelp. Mine is round with some flattening at top and bottom and just a little conical taper. It is hefty with almost no ribbing, a light spring green with a streaky red blush.
