Disappointed to see my favourite Apple (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_de_Boskoop) missing...

Also Elstar is missing, that would be my everyday goto apple
One reason many European varieties may be missing is because the apple market is pretty regionalized (95% of apples sold in the US are grown in the US), unlike the bananas market, which is hyper-globalized.
Yes, came here to complain about exactly that one! Outrage! :D
Also James Grieve, and Cox's Orange are great.
Personally I stopped touching any supermarket apples, they're all bland. I have a market in front of my house and my parents have trees in the garden, and there's nothing better.
Really speaks to what we're losing as a result of industrialized agriculture. Not saying it's not worth it in order to feed billions, that point can be made, but still...
Great apple for pie! but seldom eat it out of my hand.
