Sort of like eating fresh corn on the cob but that is # 2.




Artichokes and asparagus. In the supermarket they are to often weeks old.
Aside from shrinking and toughening the flavour changes with age, I think it
has something to do with sugar conversion but there is probably more to it
than that.

I recall the taste of tinned asparagus from my youth. Then I tried the
store-bought 'fresh' stuff, there is no comparison, I have never eaten the
tinned rubbish since. Then I grew it and had it really fresh, there is some
comparison but it is so much better. I still sometimes buy it in the off
season if it looks good, addicts have to do things like that.

A junkie for real food sort of sounds science fictionish. Does the
concept make sense. I look about and traditional food is being replaced
by a packages. Salads prepared vs tearing out salad oneself. The
package seems machined and crude with no concern for the end unit Oh I
mean Person.

Guess in a way addicted to fresh is I hope common. Doubtful. The
ability to grow fresh is a luxury with the idea of sprouting your own
seeds close but surly no replacement. What can be done ? All I know is
set an example realizing the REAL food is getting more expensive.
Tomatoes $3.49 lb. that are inedible along with onions with the last
cool spell in Fla. an excuse.

Paranoid Charlie may be right on .

Bill Paranoid but no where near as much as Charlie or Billy a
delusional self appraisal. Paranoid folks telling us not to worry
sort of like ignore that man behind the screen ..Wizard of Oz.

So follow the yellow brick road but do not eat the yellow snow. Which
is just about gone here. Yea so I can plant tomorrow yeah right.

PS to be spoken in a hush voice
Got any Prozac or Peyote .................
