We are a very cold weather green, hot weather brown place. I get weirded out other places where things are really really green.
Plums from the USA might make sense as an export, but no way am I paying those prices -- I don't even buy cherries at $17/kg. I'm suspecting a fair bit of curing, because there was no smell anywhere near them. The bananas on the other side of the aisle, which were still too green, were stronger smelling.
Yeah, I tend not to buy the USA cherries either, because they tend to more watery. And because the Canadian-born member of the household would have conniptions.
