Red Delicious?

The Davis Square farmers' market is still going, mostly selling apples, squash, and fish. I got a bunch of apple varieties which I won't be able to identify when I eat them, apart from some outliers. They had a sign saying New England Red Delicious was the real Red Delicious. I was skeptical, as I few but horrible memoies of RD apples, dry and mealy. But I figured I'd give them a chance, bought one, and ate it.

It was a lot better than my memories, crunchy and moist. And... otherwise utterly bland, with some odd mucusy bits, unless that was left over cantaloupe juice in my mouth. While it was in fact the best Red Delicious I've ever had, I feel safe in letting it be my last.

At least all the other apples should be better!
