EXTRA about apples:

Autumn is the apple season when a most wonderful variety of apples are available.

With the apple season comes a typical British dessert called Apple Crumble that can be served warm or cold and is eaten with custard (заварной крем). It’s wonderful to eat it on those chilly autumn nights.

 

As for Americans, they have a whole bunch of activities related to apples - apple picking, drinking apple cider, making candy apples, caramel apples, and surely apple pies

Fact 4. Americans are literally obsessed with pumpkin and pumpkin spice taste and smell. And it’s not connected only with Halloween. In fact, pumpkin is the synonym of autumn for them. And this is the main association for this season. You could see a lot of pumpkin pictures before in our lesson. Check out these pictures and an extra file «pumpkin». I guess you will be surprised to see so many weird things of pumpkin flavor. They are arranged according to the degree of weirdness.

«There is no such a thing as too much pumpkin spice», they say.

And one of the essential things, they visit a pumpkin patch, a corn maze and go to a farm to go on a hayride with family every fall!
