Imported Food From Australia

Post by dales »

No, not what your thinking.....

Oranges $1.79/lb....expensive but good.

Orange season not for another 3 months here, then would be around $.69/lb.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

The only Australian imports I ever see around here are beef and lamb. Our citrus comes from Spain and Morocco when it's not from Florida (and only rarely from California).
GAH!

Interestingly enough, in the orange glut and drought of 1999 all oranges that could not be sold or pulped were given to cows to supplement their poor feed.
Bah!

Now, now...Jim.

I must have oranges year around, perhaps I'd draw the line at the PRC, PRNK, Iran, or Canada. :nana

Oh yeah, the best dammed ornages come form CALIFORNIA (Blood Citrus) when in season.

YUMMIE :ok

Jim....let me ask you this: If you could legally purchase a Cuban cigar, would you?

Hell, we all know if Jim could get a Cuban cigar illegally he'd still smoke it. So would I!

Back in the 70s I had a friend who went to Vancouver BC a lot who brought me back boxes of lovely Cuban cigars.

I've given up the habit. Rather boring.

You can't even get Balkan Sobranie cigarettes anymore!

Wicked world.
