LOL...Red Delicious did look yummy, but the beauty was truly only skin deep. Can’t believe I used to eat those and think they were good.
I think all Mom and Dad bought were Red Delicious, Cortlands and Rome Beauties for cooking. We were in the Finger Lakes region of NY at the time, so we had a lot of local apples.
I disliked the Red Delicious so much that they made me gag; and I couldn’t understand how my grade school classmates could eat them. My childhood favorites were Jonathan, Macintosh and Winesap.
