Thankfully this has been remedied my recent brain explosions via the taste of my home grown apples from heritage varieties... now here I am investigating your back catalogue of interesting blogs<br />Keep up the good work<br />Matty Bmatty bhttp://adamsapples.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-10814187634246518412009-03-20T08:29:00.000-04:002009-03-20T08:29:00.000-04:00A mealy Red Delicious would be truly pointless.

But none of those local apples make it into storage for the the wholesale market. Most people enjoy their Red Ds (or don't as the case may be) from supermarkets.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'll try a local one in the fall, just to see if there is any more <EM>there</EM> there. My review apple, trucked on from Washington to my supermarket (shellac and all), is representative of what most Red Delicious fans eat.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318661139598557285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-83939577030737734992009-03-17T14:06:00.000-04:002009-03-17T14:06:00.000-04:00That is a gorgeous apple, the one at Grist!

I haven't enjoyed them when I've had them in the past few years. They tend either to be mealy and/or they lack flavor. At the moment I'm eating a Pacific Rose. It's a little disappointing. The flesh is sweet and crisp but the peel seems bitter and doesn't combine well with the flesh. But it's better than eating a mealy Red Delicious.<BR/><BR/>NinaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
