Red delicious apples, however, are mealy-textured and flavorless. If incest produced apples, they would be red delicious apples.

Red Delicious lived their lifetime.

Gala, Cameos, Fuji and Honeycrisp. Although I enjoy each of them more at the first part of their seasons. I got Galas recently and they're pretty flavorless right now. Fujis are good now though.

A lot of fruit makes my throat itch and my gums hurt. Bananas, watermelon, apples... Often I eat it anyway because I just love them. I usually regret it for the next 15-20 minutes, but I haven't learned my lesson.

McRib never gives me this problem.

With everyone raving about these apples I picked up a couple over the weekend but haven't tried them yet. They were 2.99/lb at dierbergs though.

They're 2.99 pretty much everywhere unless they're on sale.

My store has an entire bag, can't remember the lbs at the moment, of Jonathan apples for $1.

So I was looking to try a new apple after getting kind of burned out on Fujis, mostly not liking a lot of other kinds, and not willing to spring for Honeycrisps. I saw some Cameos and thought I would give them a shot, never tried them before. On the way home from the store "Word Up" actually came on the radio so there was really no way they weren't going to be good. I like them quite a bit. They have the crisp texture I like and just the right amount of sweetness. And only $1.40 a pound.

I ate a honeycrisp this morning. Actually it was the other half of what I ate yesterday and it was still delicious.


Did we see kycardfan during the playoffs?

I can't stand mushy apples. The only guaranteed crisp and flavorful apple out there is the Honeycrisp. It's the perfect apple.
