I think the Fuji you got may have been past its prime, or just not a good
one.
What is all the fuss over Fuji apples? I broke down and tried one
yesterday, and the first thing that came to mind was Red Delicious. It
had overtones of the "powdery" flavor I associate with Red Delicious.
Fuji is very juicy, but the flavor is nothing special. It must have great
cost of production values.
