Who killed the Red delicous?

[bachophile]

Can I go on the record in saying I don’t like eating apples.

I can handle apple pie ala mode. And even apple sauce and certainly apple juice.

But I simply dont enjoy biting into a real apple. Gives me a bellyache.

Me too -- until they figured out a way to make them available out of season, when they're not nearly so good IMO.

[jon-nyc]

I only eat them fall and winter. Spring and summer there are too many other fruits in season.

Fucking bigot, somehow.

Let me count the ways.

I go between Fuji and Honeycrisp. But there are so many good varieties out there.

I used to eat grannysmiths a lot but took a break... the tartness can be extreme!

I don't really see the point of apples. We buy them, they go off because nobody eats them, we throw them out.

We spend insane amounts of money on high quality fresh fruits. It's worth it. If you ask our kids whether they'd rather want a piece of fruit or one of the standard carb/fat godzillas, they'll usually choose fruit.

I prefer my own, but apple production is hit and miss down here. Helps if we have a cold winter.

The varieties I have are Golden Dorset and Anna. Both are tart, but not quite as much as a Granny Smith.

Must take a while... our apples seem to last years (ok, at least a few weeks) in the fridge.

Jazz are good…

My bike's a Fuji, my camera's a Fuji, and my favorite apple is a Fuji. WTF.

That middle row is essentially tasteless. I enjoy most apples. Some days the Fuji is the greatest apple in the world, sometimes it’s the Granny Smith… Most days it’s something in between, but the middle row? Bleach.
