In the last 10 years (at least), I've noticed that the Red Delicious apples I buy at the store are soft, yellow and mealy. My mom and a friend noticed the same thing. Various other places on the Usenet, I've seen people decrying the RD apple for it's poor texture and flavor... but they weren't always that way. What happened to this variety? 2. Growing up in a small town, a local fraternal organization always had a Christmas party where the kids each got a huge red apple. These things were giants -- about the size of a softball -- and they were tasty too. Anyone know about such a variety and where I could get some? Thanks! -Cloy I haven't noticed any change in the Red Delicious apple. 60 years ago they were large, red, and soft with little flavor. Today they are large, red, and soft with little flavor. There are lots of foods that taste good to kids that are insipid or worse when we get older. A friend recently got some sort of cookie for his nieces and nephew and their friends. He tried one himself and couldn't finish it. --Jeff -- When I give food to the poor they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a Communist. --Dom Helder Camara |
