Sterling K. Brown’s Subway Hot Take: “Red delicious apples are actually disgusting. I’m a child of the 80s & in school all they had was red delicious, yellow delicious, & Granny Smith. And they tried to act like this is supposed to be the crème de la crème. This red apple that crumbles in my mouth?”

Honeycrisp and Cosmic Crisp are where it’s at.
The end.
Hyper fixed podcast has an episode on this exact topic. Essentially, they were good but then they were bred for color of flavour. But they deep dive into the history of it
We call them red disgusting in my house!
Obviously y’all have never had a SnapDragon. It’s THE BEST
Braeburn is queen
He is Spot On!
That’s not a hot take. That’s just the truth.
I don’t like apples at all, but as a New Yorker, I pretend to especially during apple picking season. I don’t like that tingly taste from the tartness that you get in your mouth or how they hurt my gums. it doesn’t many what type of apple it is, they all hurt and i don’t like any of them but I still pay for a bag of picked apples. I hate apples.
Red Delicious are a joke in the orchard world.
I thought this too until I bought some from a giant bin outside of a grocery store in Stevenson, Washington that were locally grown. They were some of the best apples I’ve ever had.
SugarBee hive rise UP.
He’s 1000% right and he should say it.
Honeycrisp, Pink Lady, and Granny Smith the only acceptable apples.
it’s the best
He is so spot on.
REAL
Agreed! Honeycrisp is the most delicious. Unfortunately, also, the most expensive in my stores.
Red “delicious” is a trash apple. Not fit for human consumption.
Honeycrisp
Gala
Cosmic
and personally a golden Opal
Gala apples for life
Ambrosia is the one for me
He is absolutely not wrong.
Gala, Fuji, Honeycrisp. Those are APPLES.
I had the worst red delicious cravings when I was pregnant. My kid refuses to eat apples.
I don’t believe in coincidence
sour apples are the only acceptable ones
The best are Ambrosia and Honeycrisp!
He’s right! I call them Red NOT Delicious.
That would have been a hot take about 15 years ago.
Praise the Lord and pass the Cosmic Crisp and Envy apples!

Me allergic to apples
