Honeycrisp apples
At the risk of starting the most boring rave ever, how the hell did I live 34 years without ever trying honeycrisp apples? These things are incredible. I only bought two- and they were expensive- but I'm already plotting my next trip to the grocery store to buy more.

Re: Honeycrisp apples
Someone was telling me how great they were, and they're actually cheap here so I picked up a bag. No thanks, I'll stick with golden delicious.

Re: Honeycrisp apples
I'm good with golden delicious, too. Just about any apple is great as far as I'm concerned.
But these things are so incredibly sweet. It's like a fruit consisting of ground up puppies and kitties and two year olds and double rainbows.
Maybe after the newness wears off, I won't like them as much.

Honeycrisps are good, but Granny Smiths are the best.

I used to eat those all the time when I worked in a grocery store. Also ate tons of raspberries cuz [expletive] paying the exorbitant prices for a box of those.

Re: Honeycrisp apples
Granny Smiths are probably my least favorite because of how tart they are... but I really do love all apples.Cronos69 wrote:Honeycrisps are good, but Granny Smiths are the best.
Normally, my favorites are golden delicious and fuji.

Re: Honeycrisp apples
Braeburns and Johnnagolds are where it's at.
Honeycrisp is a fairly new variety, I won't pay the extra price for them.

FYI-granny smith's are for baking, or eaten raw-giving you the squirts.
Notice how when you go to the apple dept of the store - it's something like this:
