ick. I have to say Golden Delicious are also seriously tasteless. I buy Fuji or Gala most often.

I will look for Honeycrisp.

In this way, I think the "Red Delicious Apple" is highly symbolic of where our society has been heading, in general.
I really am a little bit angry/disappointed that we are stupid/complacent enough to popularize/accept a shitty-tasting apple.

Who's "we?" I don't buy that crap.

"We" is a general term for "the human population" - the people who buy apples, in this case.
What don't you buy? Somebody ("we") has to be buying these apples, or they wouldn't be around anymore.

I guess so. And you are doing your part now by educating those in the Cellar who didn't know that Red Delicious Apples suck.

Red Apples are mushy like Green Apples are much better.

But it's called DELICIOUS, it has to be good. Commie fag. How can we be good consumers if we think for ourselves? [/crazy sarcastic rant-ette]

I think we all agree with that one! We'll it is a common feeling around here anyway.

Sometimes I find a good Gala or Fuji. As a kid I remember standing on my horse to reach that very large golden at the top of the lone apple tree. :drool: You'll never find that one in a store.

I'm not afraid to tackle the tough issues facing this great nation. I won't bow down to Big Apple and their fat-cat friends in Congress.

Red Delicious: the Britney Spears of apples.

Had a good Cortland yesterday. Mmm.

I like the jonagold.

That's because the Delicious doesn't keep so well on the shelf -- straight off the tree and dripping with their inner juices, then you know where the name came from. But it has to have come off the tree in that day or two.

Second the notion on the Fujis and Galas -- much better eatin' over time, and likewise the Granny Smiths for their proper application as bakin' apples. I'll have to give organic ugly apples a real taste test sometime.

I keep imagining Granny Smith wearing green dresses in life.

Pink Lady apples are very yummy.

I like Green apples better though.

Most people eat Red Delicious because most outlets sell them exclusively, and have for some time. A couple of generations don't know anything else, unless they live next to an orchard like I do. Shame.:(
