Red "Delicious" Apples

[glatt]

Um, OK.

I was just eating a fuji apple the other day, and it was good. But not as good as a gala. So I'd say that gala apples are the best. Followed by fuji or golden delicious. Not sure which. I need to do a taste test sometime.

all the apples I mentioned are grown in New Zealand, I think. Gala and Fuji anyway. What's frustrating is that a New Zealand apple tastes fresher than a local apple when you are shopping in a grocery store. You have to go directly to the orchard or find a farmers' market if you want a yummy local apple.

Yah. Somebody did mention organics earlier, so we got the alar spam. When we eat in-season, right off your neighbors tree is better and you can get more interesting fruit. I have no problem with big apple growers selling a good product, but assuming someone is only buying local to avoid the long gone alar scare is idiotic.
