I made the mistake of purchasing that variety once, and learned from that experience. Fuji apples, on the other hand, do not deserve a score of 56 FFS.
- jfengel 2y agoRed Delicious are the canonical example of a product that was optimized for looks (and storage) over flavor and texture. I'm told that the original Red Delicious are in fact very good. So good that we made them our Platonic ideal of "apple". And then... we targeted the wrong metric.
- mrguyorama 2y agoAnd yet. The slight sweet-bitterness to a real fresh red delicious apple is completely unmatched by any other apple variety I've ever had. It tastes like apple. It is satisfying and juicy and doesn't overwhelm your stomach with sourness or sweetness. I think people just don't realize how fast Red Delicious apples go mediocre and have rarely tasted the real thing.
