“A” is for apple... they taught all of us this in kindergarten, cementing in our young brains that apples come first. And why shouldn't they, especially the cider that comes from them, and especially when that cider glazes a scrumptious pork chop. We forget what “B” is for, but let's just say it's for Brussels, the perfect side with any pork chop. And “C”…. C is for the cider and the empty plate you'll “c” after you demolish this meal.
