Oddly that’s the apple now ranked as Vomitous Filth

Is there a filter to remove all the breeds of apple that are under a patent?

Yeah i was going to say i was the same as you then fell in love with cosmic crisp. Also ambrosia are great too, but if you found your apple love there's nothing to change! I'm glad you found one you liked. I used to hate apples too after trying granny smith and red delicious. The first was insanely sour and not appetizing and the second was mushy apple shaped pulp board.

bland

I know people who can't take a bite without grimacing because they're so sour. You can say a lot about Granny Smiths, but not that they taste like nothing.

Lmfao

Ahhh yes battery acid apples. Much flavour and complexity

I like granny smiths but you and I must be getting different pink ladies. For me they're crisp and bright, sweet and just a touch tart.

Also check out author Chuck Wendig’s blog. He talks about apples (mostly - NSF[W|L] caveat lector)

Yes actually. Red delicious was famously introduced to wide acclaim but decades of breeding for shelf life and economy left them as the gas station miscarriage baby of apples.

Shame on you for trying convince me that's new

It's not just the taste that would be affected by whether the sand was added before or after use.

Neither for Royal Gala. Maybe they're too European.

How would a pomaceous connoisseur such as yourself explain the difference between sour and tart to an uncouth swine such as myself?

Yeah, he didn't have wooden teeth, he had slave's teeth, teeth he got from slaves that he did own but because he was vewy sowy it doesn't count.

Fun fact: I live right near where granny smiths were invented (Eastwood in Northern Sydney). I'd like to sincerely apologise to the world on behalf of my city's contribution.

Banter off English is not my first language and I thought “bland” could be used as the opposite of “rich” in the context of food.

Banter on Crying because you got pepper sprayed at your wedding doesn’t mean your emotional. Sour does not equal depth. comparing Granny Smith to actual apples is like comparing concentrated vinegar to well made Balsamico.

Lol. You're not wrong! I love sour things. Sour is fun. And tbh, most other apples are bland in this regard. If not for Granny Smiths I would probably hardly eat apples all that often.

Someone explain to me why Red Delicious is still a thing in a world of Cosmic Crisp?

I guess you just don’t like apples. Just eat vinegar-soaked XPS-foam.

"Tradition"? Just like beating your children.

Maybe it was their favorite apple because it's excellent for cider production?

This is the kind of Opinionated Internet Discourse I want to see more of in the world.

I don't know how widely available it is outside of Minnesota (Honeycrisp was invented here) but there's a Honeycrisp hard cider called Loon Juice, it's pretty good. I also saw a jug of non alcoholic cider made from them at the grocery store a few days ago.

Freshly pressed granny smith mixed with polish bison grass vodka is an absolute delight
