I've never liked red apples, but then I've always favoured content over looks anyway.
I love Braeburn - can't get a better apple as far as I'm concerned.
RK - I suffered a very bad reaction to red jalapenos (
written up here - it's a bit grim) and yet they're supposed to be milder than the green ones. I wonder if something in the colour does affect some people?
I'll look out for Honeycrisp, but I find the name a little off-putting as I'm not one for sweet apples.
I miss going to food fairs, which I did every year when I was in marketing. I discovered Jalapeno Tabasco and Braeburn apples at the BBC Food & Drink Show. Companies launching or promoting food would give out free samples which I'm sure was a more cost effective way of gaining new customers than TV advertising.... That and I'm a greedy pig who's a sucker for free samples of course!
