No mention of Cox's Orange Pippin? Or Bramley (cooking apples, but make the best pies)?

I'm actually amazed that you didn't start this thread. You are slipping, old boy.

I actually still have no clue as to what my next step is. I'll probably do a little more writing now that I've actually got time. But, I'll still need to do something to pay the bills. I may actually end up in Hollywood. I thankfully have a few connections there.
I'm just taking the next few days to veg out before I hit the pavement.
I still vote Granny Smith.

I thought that the Flavor would be more appealing to swarthy Armenians than the conventional runaway white trash porno-fodder wannabes. Armenians can probably pay in cashmoney, too.

I'm with fubar. Fujis are the best apple for snacking. Wonderful crisp texture (always, unlike Red Delicious which are nice when crisp, but all too often mushy), cool, sweet flavor. Nice and juicy, usually.

Granny Smith because the quality is always there.
But.....On the rare occasion when they are sweet, crisp, fresh, and perfect....A Red Delicious is the best apple ever.

Not that this poll means jack shit, but if taken at face value, it would suggest that your ass is sucking pond water on this one.

There are a couple of them growing not 100 yards from our front door.

I'm on the fubar/Talarohk apple team.
Fuji.
Very sweet
Very juicy
Very crisp.
Fun fact: This Japanese apple has American parents, Red Delicious and Ralls Janet, an antique apple that goes back to Thomas Jefferson in 1793.

Honey Crisp Apples.
Ever heard of them?
Wholly shit these TRUMP Red Delicious. It has a just tart taste with the crunch of a Red Delicious.
It's my favorite apple now.

Sick of apples.

I've been buying Honeycrisp apples at the grocery store the last couple of weeks, and they are, in fact, quite good. They're almost as good as Gala apples.

Yep, that's why I clicked "other." Your poll is a fail for not mentioning them.

I'm surprised and strangely gratified that so many of us prefer the tart insouciance of the perfect Granny Smith.
Red Delicious apples are a trick by Satan.

They are certainly not 'delicious'.
