    If I could be totally honest, I would like at some point in my life to have a blue banana and maybe one of those Japanese square melons (or just make one myself). There's a lot of obscure produce (even in places like the Midwest) that are honestly worth praise.

      Custard Apples were always good when they hit the farmer's markets back when I lived in Wisconsin

      Don't ship very well though, so it's been a while since I had one

        I miss "grapples" I don't know if anyone else remembers those, but they were apples that tasted like grape soda. They came in a 4-pack and I loved them as a kid. Haven't seen them anywhere since.

          If you ever get the chance mayapples are wayy better than pawpaws imo (tho they are alot harder to forage for)

          They taste like a snaple

    Decolonization is happening. America is less able to flex it's muscles and get cheap products from the Global south. The death throes of capitalism are in progress.
