This morning, I purchased Fuji and Gala apples, they are my favorites.
I have not tried Jonathons, but I will if I can find them.

Red Delicious apples were 50 cents per pound and the apples I bought
were 1.89. I would not eat Red Delicious apples if they were free. Like
you mentioned, they are mealy and they have no flavor.
