Well guess what. It's not.
Taste: How do you put "nothing" into words....ah yes, there it is...NOTHING.
Texture: Sick. Soft, gushy, mealy and I mean mealy. The apple was fresh and firm on the outside though, so don't go blaming "rotting" or "you broke it" or any of that. Blame the apple. Blame Rome!
Price: $.98/lb., shocker.
Attractiveness: That's the problem here. This thing is cute as a button, and it's the perfect snacking size! It even has a cute little stem, which just kind of made me happy (dear Lord) because stems are majorly lacking in the apple world these days.
Rating: This is a Trojan Horse. I hate it for deceiving me, oh and for leaving me hungry (I couldn't get past 4 bites). You get 1 seed, you stupid apple. Who names an apple after a city ANYWAY.

i've never tried a rome apple, so this could just be the way it is, but this post made me have a thought. you may have already looked into this, but are you trying all these apples at the peak of their seasons? i mean, it would be slightly unfair if one is at it's peak, and one is at a low point but they were being compared side-by-side. not to complicate things, but i would hate for you to conduct a flawed experiment!
i think ALL apples peack in Fall - so she's trying them all on equal ground, i think.
weird about the rome (since it does look nice) - i've never seen or heard of one, but you can bet if i do see one, i'm STAYING AWAY!
I did a little research and it turns out the Rome is primarily a cooking apple, because it develops its flavor as it heats. that explains THAT
