@Valiant You grew up in Eastwood too?

Haven't been there for a few years, now, but I've heard that over the last few years the Granny Smith Festival has sort of become less interesting.

What the hell? It's the honeycrisp. Genetically engineered to be the best tasting apple in existence. The mealy macintosh and the flavorless red delicious can go get fucked. Granny smiths are classic, but they can't hold a candle to them motherfucking Honeycrisps. It's like they got the excellent texture of the red delicious, but also it has flavor!
 
I had no idea people were so passionate about apples... I thought it was just a Maddox thing.
 
I love McIntosh because I"m a weirdo who likes soft apples.

I'm not a botanist but from what I understand Red Delicious are what you don't want to do with selective breeding. They went for all aesthetic traits like deep red consistent color and large size while also (hopefully unintentionally) carrying over the worst genes like fucking tasteless and "so hard you'll slice up your mouth worse than cap'n crunch" stop Red Delicious standard and grind them into the dirt.
 
Pink Ladies or Granny Smiths. I like things crunchy and tart when it comes to apples. Honeycrisps are another one I'll gladly eat.

Tbh, I thought I was the only one to hate the Delicious cultivar. I feel so validated right now.
