#today
we’re eating the last of our Cox’s Orange Pippins freshly picked from our tree. There are few varieties of apple to compare, for its aromatic flesh, yellow-white, fine-grained, crisp, & very juicy. Having grown up in north Derbyshire I pronounce ‘pippin’ typical of northern english: [pi pin]. But I’ve heard [pi pǝn] a pronunciation which may be earlier, based on its French origin - pépin.
