Two cloves of garlic, a tangerine, and a Stayman Winesap apple. (crunch munch snarf gulp) Make that two cloves of garlic and a tangerine...
Macintosh, Cortland, Golden Delicious, Delicious, Granny Smith (aka Mutsu, I believe), Gala, and Empire are the varieties commonly sold in supermarkets; farmer's markets also offer those as well as Sungold, Suncrisp, Braeburn, Stayman Winesap, and a bunch of others I can't remember off the top of my head. Pink Lady apples are in supermarkets too but I don't think I've tried those yet.
ETA: I forgot Esopus Spitzenberg... or was it Esopus Spitzbergen?... Esopus is a little town on the Hudson River, so I suspect that might be another locally-developed cultivar.
I've actually started making a list of different varieties of fruit I have eaten, if there are a lot of varieties to choose from. My state is a major apple producer and there are lots to choose from, so just for fun, I've started my list:Bright red and juicy... These are Bont-newydd apples, some sort of welsh apples...

^^^I think Staymans are one of my favorites, along with Empire (an apple developed by Cornell University), Golden Delicious, and any apple which is a Golden Delicious cross (Suncrisp and Sungold I think). I don't know if Stayman and Stayman Winesap are the same. The only apples I don't care for so much are Delicious (they're crisp and juicy, and probably the most beautiful apple- but after the first bite they lose their sweet taste... is it me?) and Macintosh (not crisp enough unless they're very fresh- cold storage is not kind to them). But I eat them too, anyway, just for variety.

Oh my gosh...I just remembered I bought two persimmons last week and when I got in the house, they weren't in my grocery bag! I have no idea where they went...I bet I left them at the store! I can't believe I did that and now only just remembered!
I'm going to go check the car now, but I doubt they're there because it's not like they were in a bag by themselves.
