Who is buying red delicious apples in 2023? Do you not know about the other ones??
@lolennui I know right? Literally the worst apple. They are NOT delicious.
@lolennui other ones are not delicious, getit getit?
@lolennui People who want a mostly full bag of apples slowly rotting in their crisper drawer.
@lolennui They taste like cardboard. I don't even like them under an inch of caramel on a stick anymore.
@Thoreau @lolennui plus, they come off the tree almost mushy...i like crisp, some tart...
@lolennui it's the blue pill of fruit
@lolennui love #Honeycrisp, but when I can find them, it's #FujiApples for me. They're the absolute sweetest!
@lolennui red delicious are the worst, nastiest apples there are! I don't even like feeding them to my goats lol
@lolennui All the new varieties are too sweet for me. I like Braeburn and GD.
@lolennui A major cooking magazine here in the US declared the red delicious the best apple for pie. I havent trusted cooking magazines since.

@lolennui The Best trick the devil ever pulled was naming red delicious apples.

Fuji ftw, all the way.

@lolennui

The best apple is whatever one I’m eating.

@lolennui @catsnfats If you come for Granny Smith I’ll cut you.

@lolennui

Red Delicious are my favorites! Maybe their quality is better here in NW Oregon, because we have so many orchards nearby. They are also the cheapest.

@lolennui I’ve come to love Empire apples because they are crisp and sweet. I recently learned they are a combo of Red Delicious and Macintosh - my two most vehemently hated apple varieties! I remain shocked by this news.
@lolennui
Out of curiosity what is supposed to be wrong with Red Delicious apples? (Not having bought any for so long I'd forgotten they exist).
@lolennui I grow 3 different better tasting ones so I don't buy any apples!
@lolennui Cosmic Crisp is where it’s at!
@lolennui A fun fact: my grandfather was an apple farmer and stubbornly insisted on only growing red delicious apples for decades, even as he lost market share to competitors that decided to grow good apples.
@lolennui You mean the small ones in the white paper bag at Aldi? Yeah they are da bomb. I call them white paper bag apples. They probably have a cooler name.

@lolennui shhhhhh

Let them leave the good ones for us

@lolennui I had an argument with a friend in India about American fruit. They insisted that fruit in the US was bland/flavorless. The example they gave was apples. Now, I'm from Minnesota and we take pride in the delicious varieties developed here. It took a bit of discussion before I found out that the apples they tried were the ones at their hotel which means it was a Red Delicious that was purchased for its decorative qualities, not flavor.

Red Delicious Apples are strictly ornamental. DO NOT EAT THE DECOR!

@lolennui
