Red "Delicious" Apples
 

Are total shite. Damn the evil conglomeration of pretentious grocers who devised this abomination. Damn them, I say!

I am pretty sure that red delicious apples are the worst apple there is that are still intended for casual eating and not cooking with a pound of sugar.

Gala is the best supermarket apple for eating. Golden delicious can also be pretty damn good.

I seem to remember Red Delicious having been more tasty in the distant past. Now, they are absolutely tasteless, like eating wet cardboard pulp or something. WTF? How do you genetically engineer the taste out of an apple, and why?

Oh yeah, and Fujis are good too.

AGREED...I love the Gala apples. One of our markets has these beautiful Galas...another has shriveled, crappy looking ones (Wally World.) They have a Braeburn that looks like a Gala but I don't care for the taste.
Red Delish is too sweet. Get a Gala!

Granny Smith apples are the only acceptable kind. All the other species are tools of the devil.

Granny Smith's are wonderful as well. I like a good tart.

I mean, a good, tart, apple.

Granny Smith apples make me

That's why you should always eat them with peanut butter to take the edge off. :yum:

"Fujis are good too" [/mocking effeminate voice]

Gentleman, the time for talk is over. Now is the time for action.

Hmmmm, never tried that! Will do!

You crack my mind up!

Breed for looks and long shelf-life and ignore how taste is affected.

compromise: Grannie Smith for pies, Gala and Fuji for eating, and Red Delicious for compost.

it isn't so much even the taste--it's the texture. That mushy, grainy,icky stuff--like eating sawdust.

Green apples are much nicer. Organic apples are usually tastier, too, even if sometimes not as pretty.
