40 years ago red delicious were small with firm flesh and a great taste and even better refrigerated. They were also uncommon and perhaps more expensive than the locally grown McIntosh.
Now... red delicious are usually mealy and blandly sweet.
I really miss those oh so delicious apples of my youth.
- jinushaun 12y agoI remember when red delicious we're small and crisp. At some point, they got gigantic and mealy. So gross. I hope my favorite apples don't go down the same path... Braeburns seem to be getting bigger and bigger... You still can't beat wild apples though. Way better/complex flavor profile than bland/uniform store ones.
