Do you associate Avalon (the isle from Arthurian lore) with apples? Any reason why (not)?

For my part the answer is 'yes', because the Breton word for "apple" is 'aval' (pl avaloù).

That's interesting! In my case, the answer is no, because the only food I'd associate with the name is milk (there's an Avalon Dairy that used to supply milk to one of the grocery stores in my hometown in British Columbia).

On the other hand, I do kind of associate Avalon with the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland (I'm sure Arthurian lore played a role in it being named that, since it's the easternmost part of Newfoundland).

Thank you for answering!
