As a child I assumed red delicious apples were the most delicious because it said so in their name and obviously truth in marketing wouldn't allow them to have a name that SAYS delicious if they weren't delicious. My brother preferred Granny Smith, which are actually delicious and I love eating them and I sometimes make them into pie, but also have the magic feature where they don't stop tasting good pretty much ever. You can put them in your fridge and six months later they'll still be good.
Red Delicious Apples, though ... don't have that magic feature. It's not that they rot, although they do and will, but there's a brief window -- very brief -- when they ARE delicious, and then after that they stop being and will never regain their goodness and -- and this is the worst part -- you can't tell by looking which stage they're in.
Still. During that brief moment, the all-too-brief, so elusive window of deliciousness? 10/10.
