A while ago I learned the original Chinese name for a kiwifruit (which is originally from China, and was rebranded as a New Zealand thing thanks to Cold War tensions) is a "monkey peach" This is a 1000x better name and makes me far more interested in eating them

You could try to "pirate" apples but planting seeds from apples doesn't actually work, because seeds have been pollinated and their DNA has been randomized (it's the child of the original tree and not its identical clone)

It would, obviously, also take a very long time for a whole new apple tree to grow Stealing an apple variety requires a sample large enough to graft onto another tree, so it will be ready for harvest in a short time And such samples are extremely tightly controlled

as an upstate new yorker i can say that all orchard-picked apples are ambrosia delivered from the gods of which all supermarket apples are a pale imitation

I mean I don't even generally like the taste of apple juice which is more or less the purest distillation of what a decent apple would theoretically taste like

I’m not familiar with those, but I’ve just this season had some SnapDragon apples — another Honeycrisp variant — and they’re pretty damn good. Cost the same as Honeycrisps, generally.
