Edible but sour as. I might try stewing them down with a sufficient quantity of sugar to make them edible. Some sort of Nordic apple cake perhaps. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=16832#post-230077 Wed, 07 Sep 2016 13:58:02 +0000 gembo 230077@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>W st Lothian road worker was picking some this morning at niddry road Broxburn.
