Tomatoes being unloaded in the market today in Berkeley.
When I lived, briefly, in the States a million years ago, the tomatoes were tasteless; apples and strawberries too. Are things better now?
Here in California – at least, in the Gourmet Ghetto of North Berkeley – the tomatoes and stawberries are very good indeed.
The tomatoes picture above are Heirloom Tomatoes, which are delicious.
Progress continues: excellent. (Mind you, I lived in the Hackensack marshes.) But “Heirloom” tomatoes: that’s two good laughs you’ve given me today.
