Rob, I did like the ones at Excalibur. I didn't know there were crunchy and soft/mushy ones. This one must be a soft one. I had also wondered if they turned from firm/crunchy to mushy fairly fast. You saying that there are crunchy ones and soft ones explains alot.
Fruitlovers, the stringies/fibers that I am talking about is definately in the fruit and not in rags (had to look that one up). They seem to be more at the smaller end of each piece that is attached to the core. Now that I think about it there were no stringies (my new word?)
in the fruit from Excalibur.
I think I will have to try more varieties.
