The Awful Reign of the Red Delicious
Apples!For a while a couple of years back I was an Apple geek (the fruit, not the computer).It's good to see that the Gala, Braeburn and Fuji apples have already been mentioned.If you can find them, Jazz apples[1] are a must-try. They are a cross between the Gala and the Braeburn, and the most amazingly crisp apple I've ever tried. I think the flavour isn't quite as good as a Gala, but that crispness is the complete opposite of the Red Delicious.They are good looking apples, too.The Pink Lady apple is also a good one. I think that might have my favorite flavour.http://www.orangepippin.com/ is a good place to learn about the varities available.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jazz_(apple)
