Cameo Apple Review
"An Unwelcome Guest"
50
Not Worth Eating
The Cameo Apple tastes like a juicy dog fart wrapped in used Whole Foods napkins. With a flavorless interior reminiscent of powdered hospital soap, this freak of nature is called a ‘Cameo’ because it was found accidentally growing in a Red Delicious orchard in Washington State and bred for public consumption (I can only assume as a punishment for America’s hubris). Even M. Night Shyamalan showing up in his own movie is a better cameo than this.

I don’t want to be a part of a world that dislikes Cameos
Haha, well I’ll give it another assessment next season but so far it’s not hit the mark on two consecutive seasons.
Does anyone else notice an odd peanut butter taste from cameo apple skins or do I have a weird batch?
I’ve recently started liking apples, my current fave is honeycrisp. But 3 years ago we went to an apple orchard for the fall, and we got to taste different apples. Cameo was our favorite lol. I’ve been looking to try it again due to my recent apple affair but now I’m second guessing that haha.
If you live Honeycrisp look out for the following similar apples: SweeTango, Hunnyz, Rave, SnapDragon
I tried SnapDragon because they were on sale one
week. Loved them! Now I buy them twice a week
because they’re pretty consistent. The honeycrisp in
my area has been hit or miss lately. I had an
AMAZING honeycrisp from Walmart last week. I
didn’t realize they could vary so much.
Bought a half peck of Cameos from a fruit market in Kalkaska MI today. Never heard of or tasted them before. Wanted them to cook with pork chops (they were out of Granny Smith’s). Tried them first as munchies. Enjoyed them either way. Your 50 rating is a pos.
the only reason i came on this website was because the radio suggested it but i dont think hating on apples is for me sorry
someone has way to much time on there hands
Site is funny but this review is bad. Cameo is consistently crisp, sweet, and juicy. Never mealy. Excellent Apple.
These are crisp and… well, that’s about it. They don’t really taste of much. There’s juice, granted, and it’s slightly sweet, but apart from that it’s a bit like biting into a snowball.
I recently had my first Cameo apple… It was an absolute deplorable atrocity with flesh comparable to a decade-old banana that has been eaten by rats, and then regurgitated back into a pile of horse shit. Although, this is to be expected, as it is yet another cow tongue lazily wrapped in tin foil demon-spawn of the Red Delicious. It seems as though some people think that this “apple” should be ranked higher, but I believe it should be dragged down into the depths of hell (around 35/100) along with other mealy sinners such as the Golden Delicious.
Hahaha
