Hello!
In this sentence I don't understand the style.
"We have AS MANY apples AS need to be cooked"
The usage of the verb 'need' frustrates me. There is a noun phrase 'many apples' in one part of construction followed by the verb 'need' in the second part of this idiomatic construction.
According to my feeling (most likely, completely wrong one
), something like ' as many apples as needed for' would sound better and stylistically more 'clean'. It seems that I am not acquainted with this type of construction.
Please, help me
