I don't much care for honeydew either--I think I must be mildly allergic to it, because I get a tickle in my throat every time I've tried to eat it, so now I just avoid it. Red Delicious apples were not necessarily bred for flavor--they were bred to look appealing and have a long shelf life. Goldens are a little too sweet for me--I like a bit of bite to my apples that the Goldens are decidedly lacking. When I use them for cooking I tend to blend another apple in with the Golden.
I love apples, but I'm really picky about which cultivar to eat--some are much better than others, depending on which attributes they were bred for.
