Nice to see that Kanzi is ranked so highly. It is the best available apple in german stores.
I checked out the website and found it hilarious, but apparently everyone else on here wants to fucking kill them.
A sand filled used condom or a new one? That makes a big difference in taste.
It’s not just the taste that would be affected by whether the sand was added before or after use.
Got curious. Opened the apple ranking. Checked Granny Smith. Closed the apple ranking.
Utterly useless.
Granny Smith is the AI-Art of Apples. Looks too much like an apple, tastes just almost like an apple, some people love it, but must of us know it’s bland, boring an uninspired.
bland
I know people who can’t take a bite without grimacing because they’re so sour. You can say a lot about Granny Smiths, but not that they taste like nothing.
Ahhh yes battery acid apples. Much flavour and complexity
Lol. You’re not wrong! I love sour things. Sour is fun. And tbh, most other apples are bland in this regard. If not for Granny Smiths I would probably hardly eat apples all that often.
I guess you just don’t like apples. Just eat vinegar-soaked XPS-foam.
Not crispy enough.
Fair
Banter off English is not my first language and I thought “bland” could be used as the opposite of “rich” in the context of food.
Banter on Crying because you got pepper sprayed at your wedding doesn’t mean your emotional. Sour does not equal depth. comparing Granny Smith to actual apples is like comparing concentrated vinegar to well made Balsamico.
Those gen zs don’t even know how good vinegar is in their cooking
No review for Topaz. Failure of a website smh
Also no review for:
- Elstar
- Boskoop
- Wellant
- Holsteiner Cox
- Ingrid Marie
Neither for Royal Gala. Maybe they’re too European.
Elstar used to be my favorite until i found topaz. Boskoop is really nice for baking.
They don’t have a ranking for my favorite apple either. Liberty (NY 55140-19) are great eating apples. The only problem with them: they’re only in season once a year.
I have never witnessed so much spite in a single review and I’m so here for it
I’m allergic to apples and certain other fruits like cherries
Doctors usually don’t believe it’s a real allergy
Throat gets unbearably itchy after just a small bite
Cooked fruit is totally fine though like pies
What is with that website shilling for Sweetangos so hard?
Most web sites have a more promotional attitude towards their product descriptions. I guess big Newton Pippin industrial complex lost out to more well funded nazi apple propaganda.
Why, did they make new worse apples?
Yes actually. Red delicious was famously introduced to wide acclaim but decades of breeding for shelf life and economy left them as the gas station miscarriage baby of apples.
Shame on you for trying convince me that’s new
Given this gestures at everything, it’s likely 😮💨
I don’t trust this person’s palate.
(my favorite are jonagold)
Isn’t that the website that gives granny smith a rating far lower than it deserves?
Don’t understand all the Granny Smith apple hate. It has the best crispness and sour flavor, or at least before Cosmic Crisp came out.
Here’s what you do: Take a can of sweetened condensed milk. Simmer it, can and all, for 3 hours. Slice a granny smith into wedges. the apple, not grampy smith’s wife, you psychopath. Dip the apple into the resulting dulce de leche. Enjoy the combination of tart apple with the creamy sweet caramelly goodnes. Probably die from whatever heavy metals leeched out of the can. Only six months before the dirty bombs fall. Lucky sod.
On the next episode of Hopeless Kitchen, we explore the difference between a chickpea and a garbanzo bean. See you next time I guess.
I’m too lazy to check the site but, I’m certain snapdragon apples are rated pretty highly. I love those apples.
77/100
They had nice things to say about it
Hey, thanks for looking that up for me. I’m glad it got over a 70 its my go-to apple.
Apples are so interesting because the old ones were definitely pretty bland, and not for eating fresh. More for cooking into pies, or cider. But also we’ve experienced some apple enshittification due to mass marketing/long distance shipping. Imo peak apple varietals for direct eating are ones that were popular in the 1920’s/30’s; in the context of the USA, these mean the orchards planted by New Deal/CCC operations are usually a good bet. Where I live there are a bunch of abandoned, semi-feral orchards from this era and it rules.
Best apple in current meta is the SweeTango but I’m never changing from my of Red Delicious main
Ew, red delicious
Sure, they’re red, but……
Complete failure of an apple.
The total fucking worst.
The Budweiser of apples.
Sweet Tango is my number one even before looking at the site. Kiku would be my second. I couldn’t give Red Delicious a numerical score without finding out how many apples in the world there are and then it would be that -1.
