The new great fruit debate

[Shel]

:awink:


Ya'll have to stop fighting. I'm running out of fruits!! :locolaugh

[MrsPeacefrog]

Where is the option for "none of the above"

I seriously can't stand fruit! :lol: my vote can not be counted :blue:

:heee:

[Dawn]

Good, I need some diversion as I'm trying not to dive into the other thing. :lol:

Anyway, given the choice of only ONE apple....Braeburn, by far! :lick:

[Shanna]

Fuji - 100% :nod:

[Karri]

I agree w/ Dawn. Hands down, the braeburn :lick:

[Jayne]

I guess I have been limited as to what I have tried but I love love love big old Granny Smith apples! They are a staple on any vacation. I love to have them in the car for snacks!

[Silke]

:lol:...Hey, my apple is not on there...what's up with that?

[Dennis]

Red delicious. But they have to be the ones with pesticides - the organic ones don't taste nearly as good.

[Ana975]

Golden Delicious for me...I've never heard of some of these...I'll have to look for them now.

[LISA]

Granny smith slices with caramel dip :lick:

[Shel]

Geez, you guys can complain about anything. I only had 10 options, so I took the first 10 listed on the first website I found. I was not going to research apples all day long.



You can only please some of the people some of the time, no? :lol:

[Jayne]

Granny smith slices with caramel dip :lick:

Yep...I save the caramel dip for when we get to the condo! Man I can't wait to leave for vacation :lol:

[Silke]

Deb, fruit person or not, shouldn't you pick Rome? :awink:

[Bev]

Mine's not on their either Silke!! What's yours?

SHAMROCK's are the best!

Thanks for posting this Shel. I've been thinking of a What's your favourite apple thread. I wasn't thinking of a debate but....

Red Delicious apples SUCK!! They are mealy and pulpy and generally taste BAD! They are anything but delicious. Same goes for Golden Delicious.

[Kara]

I like granny smith and fuji LOL

[Shanna]

I totally agree!! :nod:

[Jayne]

Maybe it is a regional thing!

[Dennis]

You must get bad ones up there. The ones we get are nice and crisp and really sweet.

[Shanna]

It's a tie btw fuji and granny smith for me :nod: :lick:

[AmyP]

Fuji for sure, but I like a lot of other kinds as well. :)

[Eleanor]

You left out both of my choices! :) Pink Lady, followed by Jonagold

[Silke]

Elstar...old German apple type
Boskop...for baking

oh yes, those delicious apples are so not delicious. All those overly cultivated apples got like no flavor. http://www.crunchlite.com/boards/images/smilies/gag.gif I prefer the ones straight from the tree from grandma's garden :biggrin:

[Lynn]

Pink Lady is my new absolute favorite, followed by a Golden Delicious. :lick:

[Mary DK]

:lol:

And, I'm with Lisa... granny smiths with caramel... YUMMMMM! :lick:

[Mandi]

Fuji, then Braeburn. :)

[gulp!]

Aw, man- dissing on the Golden Delicious?! :mope: :lol:

[Karly]

Me, too! Fuji, then Braeburn. :)

[Cami]

Pink Lady are the best by far!

[Bev]

Oh no, Dennis! It's all "delicious" ( :puke: ) apples that taste bad. :box:

What about Gala? No one's mentioned them. Or Jazz?

Does everyone buy the same type of apple each time they go to the store or do you switch it up? I never buy the same kind twice in a row, unless it's on a big sale. And I never buy "delicious" apples. :)

[LISA]

I must be shopping in the wrong store 'cause I havn't heard of some of the apples mentioned :dunno: and I agree with Bev, "delicious" apples are :down:

[Bridget]

Fuji. :lick: And Gala.

[Hannabanana]

Granny smith slices with caramel dip :lick:

I voted Red Delicious (I don't eat them that often but I like the juiciness of them .. where ya'll buying yours from?!?!) and I was thinking about that caramel dip!! :lol:

[Girlo]

My favs are Gala apples.....which aren't even up there. :tantrum: :lol:

[Lynn]

Does everyone buy the same type of apple each time they go to the store or do you switch it up?

There's a little chart above the bins of apples in our produce dept. that lists their properties (i.e. - juicy, sweet, tart, good for baking, etc) and I like to look at it and choose a new apple if I can. That's how I discovered the Pink Lady.

Ooooh, I also like a crunchy Empire too! :up:

[Michele]

I've got to go with Granny Smith - although I like MacInoshes too, but only if picked fresh, the ones in the grocery store are usually no good!

I always buy Granny Smith, but I think I need to expand my apple horizons!

I don't know if we have that, but there are always so many varieties I always want to choose a new one. I do not go too crazy though if they are expensive and I consider $1.49/lb expensive. I usually go for the .99 ones or the $1.29 if I really need those ones. :)

Yeah, I like Empire and Pink Lady! My Dad likes Gravenstein the best.

[Silke]

Yeah, I like Empire and Pink Lady! Oh oh. did you know that Pink Lady's dad or mom are Golden Delicious? :lol:

[Bev]

Well I know they are sort of mealy like them! :lol: But the flavour is MUCH nicer. :)

[Shel]

Some of these have to be regional varieties, because I've never heard of some of them!!!

[Julie]

It's a tie btw fuji and granny smith for me :nod: :lick:


I think alike :nod:

[Bev]

Shel, what ones don't you have? I know I have only ever seen Shamrock's on Vancouver Island. They look like a Granny Smith but they aren't as hard and they aren't as tart. They are really, really good. :)

[BonnieG]

I voted for Red Del. I know, kinda boring. But for me it just has the best crunch to it. I used to really like Granny Smith, but as I get older, I find them to be a little too sour.

[Brookamy]

Anyway, given the choice of only ONE apple....Braeburn, by far! :lick:

:nod:

[Shanna]

I think alike :nod:


Great minds and all ;)

[Alysia]

Granny Smith all the way!!

[Eva]

Golden Delicious. :)

[magoo]

Royal Gala now. For most of my life it was the Golden Delicious. I don't know if I've ever seen a Braeburn. :dunno:

We should all meet at an apple farm someday and go from tree to tree doing taste tests. It could get ugly, but could also be a lot of fun. :lol:

[AahRee]

I like granny smith and fuji LOL
My two favorites also. :)

[gulp!]

Golden Delicious. :)

Same daughters' name, same apple. I like the way you think, Eva. :awink:

[stass]

I like donuts!

But I chose mcintosh since donuts wasn't an option.

[Hilary]

I like golden delicious too. The red delicious ones I'd buy in NM were always mushy.

I've never heard of Braeburn.

[Bev]

I like donuts!

But I chose mcintosh since donuts wasn't an option.

:lol:

I wonder how well apples travel in the mail? For those who've never had a braeburn.

[MrsPeacefrog]

For those of you who like Granny Smiths, here is a tidbit of information! I actually grew up in the area where she lived and grew the very first Granny Smith :nod: even visited her grave on a school field trip :lol:

Deb, fruit person or not, shouldn't you pick Rome? :awink:

But of course! :heee:

[stass]

Anyone try a Honeycrisp??? They are a flavor sensation!!!

[Bev]

Is that a doughnut or an apple? :lol:

[stass]

:lol: Apple
