"Red delicious" apples have such a misleading name. They are easily the worst common apple variety
>Hard to bite into
>Tough, chewy skin
>Super dry
>Not much flavor
They're the cheapest variety I see in most grocery stores, so I guess you get what you pay for.

inb4 some fag that says "you've never had a good red delicious"

>>21554497
Right, I'm not gonna gamble with a red delicious when I can buy a variety that's consistently good like a gala or a jonathan.

>>21554482 (OP)
I think there's a reason why they're so shit. Something like they were bred that way so pests wouldn't get to them. Something like that. They weren't really bred for palatability.

>>21554505
gala is the 2nd worst variety of apple only being out shitted by red delicious

>>21554482 (OP)
Never tried a red delicious but have you tried a pacific rose? I doubt that red delicious is worse.

Fuck red delicious. Tastes like elementary school paper crafts.
Cosmic Crisp and Granny Smith are the superior breeds.
Change my mind, enlighten me

>gala
>shit
Dopamine drained sugar addict spotted. Gala are nice, light and crisp. Just because they don't destroy your braincells and feed your food addiction doesnt make them shit.

>wh-why does such an enticing name for an apple taste so bad bbbwaaah
You fucking moron, it's just marketing. Same with everything. In fact, red 'delicious' was probably named such just because it is so absolutely awful to boost sales.

For me, it's pink lady. Delicious.

>>21554482 (OP)
They bred the flavor out of them alongside the little yellow freckles (Red Delicious had them back 80-or-so years ago). Apparently the freckles are linked to a flavor-producing gene.

Red delicious seem to always go mushy so fast. 90% of the time when I pick up a red delicious it is mushy and brown and disgusting to bite into. Fresh ones are okay. Not great but not what I'm looking for.
The true Greatest Of Apple Taste (GOAT) is the Granny Smith. No other apple provides such a strong taste. It is both a palate cleanser and a meal in and of itself. Put it together with peanut butter and you have a sweet and sour treat. I must thank Granny Smith for her invention of this delicious apple.

I like Red Delicious.

i can't tell if that's a normal apple inside or if you're edited it to have nicocado's ass pick on it

People sure do like some boring apples.
My favorites are Golden Russet and Cox's Orange Pippin.

I think too great a premium is put on having an ideal texture. I would rather an apple be a little softer and less crisp if it has a better, more aromatic flavor.

>>21554654
I prefer softer apples like the McIntosh. But they don't ship/store well, they're more prone to bruising which is why they're not always available.

I only buy apples from indie farmers who cultivate heirloom varieties that you've never heard of. Savages who consume supermarket apples are mindless sheep.

red delicious remind me of those shitty school lunch apples, which makes me nostalgic, so I wind up coming back around to liking them

>>21554586
I was with you until peanut butter. You're a colossal faggot

Best apple ever had was a French variety called summer Rambo grown in the Blue Ridge mountains summer of 2006. They're super hard to grow and rare. I found some much later and tasted completely different. Good crop that year. Much like OG granny Smith, but even more tart.

>"Red delicious" apples have such a misleading name
it's the only way they could sell them since they taste like dirt.

>>21554718
do you also watch movies that were in high circulation on hbo in that era like class act starring kid n play?

>>21554482 (OP)
Most people are provincial to a fault. The first thing that comes their way is what they generally stick with in life even if that thing sucks compared to other options.

>>21554586
I like stewing these with brown sugar/butter and serving them over french toast.

>Cosmic Crisp
Top tier apple right here. Only reason my ex-wife ever started eating fruit.

bunch of zoomers who can't remember when apples only came in red delicious, gold delicious, and granny smith

hard to bite into?

I like red Delicious. They're more expensive than other apples here

>>21555098
>when pink ladies hit the market and everyone wondered why we bought red delicious

>>21554482 (OP)
I've got a Bramley tree. They're great for cooking with.

>>21554482 (OP)
Red Delicious cause eternal seethe and live rent free in the minds of chuds.

>>21554482 (OP)
Possibly they sell them out of season in your flyover shitholes. All varieties of apples have a relatively short period of time when they are at their best.

For me, it's honeycrisp

>>21554482 (OP)
