I have a golden delicious tree in my yard, and the apple are amazingly good. I wonder if there isn't a bias against apples like red delicious, yellow delicious and Granny Smith that store very well and may be getting stale at the time of purchase. For example, mealiness is usually an indication that an apple is getting stale.
Weirdly, this isn’t the first bias I’ve seen against the golden delicious — which is still one of my favorites — and excessive fawning over the honeycrisp.
I suppose I don’t disagree with a lot of elements in the general order ranking, but listing the honeycrisp as a 90-point apple and the GD at 33 seems…extreme.
(And I fully realize the absurdity in calling an online ranking of apples “extreme”)
