Talk about bashing!

I've never met anyone who has actually tasted a Dwarf Brazilian who shares your view that they taste slightly better than wet cardboard, though you did phrase your statement in a way that makes it impossible for me to refute it from personal experience because you compare it to a variety I've never tried. My understanding is that Morado is just a local name for Red (AAA genome). Personally, I would never choose a Red over Dwarf Brazilian (I just finished eating one moments ago), but taste is a personal thing. But wet cardboard, no, not at all. (For full disclosure, Dwarf Brazilian is not my favorite cultivar, but it's near the top of my list.)
