No. I wouldn't feed a red delicious apple to the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

Why does Red Delicious still exist? Are low-quality pies made from Red Delicious?

My thoughts exactly. I always thought red apples like granny smith, jonathons, etc. tasted like shite.

I guess I need to open my apple horizons a bit.

I read somewhere that it's a very hardy apple... more resistant to most fungus and parasites than most.

I really wish we could grow apples down here, as a good crisp apple is one of my favorite things on the planet

The best apple I've ever had was at some farmer's stand in Washington. It was just perfect.
