I gotta add that in my experience, apple variety hasn't mattered nearly as much as where I buy it. Apples from any farmer's market usually beat - con_carne Oct 7, 13:07 7
- word! Charlevoix's annual Apple Festival this weekend - YAY! -- (link) - JenBro Oct 7, 15:21
- well that's because the ones from the supermarket are probably months old -- nm - decline Oct 7, 13:09 4
  - the average is apparently 10 months for a standard grocery chain apple. -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 13:17 2
    - this is fascinating! -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 7, 13:35

- The fact that they usually let you try a slice before buying always helps -- nm - con_carne Oct 7, 13:09
so word!! what a lame name! -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 7, 13:05 3

I'm a fool for Criterion. Can't buy them here in Washington State . . - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Oct 7, 12:55
apparently a bunch of apple farmers slapped their heads and said d'oh, they want 'flavor' and now red delicious is new and improved - zeitgeist Oct 7, 12:52 3
- Are you saying Red Delicious now have flavor and have lost the mealy texture? - TWuG Oct 7, 12:53 2
  - the ones we get here in WA, yes -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 7, 13:04 1
    - That seems unpossible. -- nm - TWuG Oct 7, 13:05
Granny Smith. Case closed. -- nm - Shaun Oct 7, 12:48 4
- In a pie? Yes. To eat? Um...no. nm - Jim Oct 7, 12:50 3
  - I agree with Shaun. They are excellent to eat - crisp, tart, also excellent with peanut butter -- nm - Beryllium Oct 7, 13:07 1
    - note that planter's PB is the best PB for granny smith. mm, so sweet. -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 7, 13:37
  - You are dumb. -- nm - Shaun Oct 7, 12:52
