To me, all of the produce these days tastes awful, except locally grown stuff. A friend manages a produce dept. at a grocery store. He says that the goal is to have produce taste the same, year round.. Yes it tastes the same, but seldom does it taste good. Years ago, seasonal produce was a real treat, we enjoyed it during season, and when it was gone, we just waited til next year.. I seldom buy produce that is way out of season, costs too much, does not taste good, and who knows where it came from, and what kind of chemicals were used on it..

California cardboard. Just like those store-bought tomatoes.

Around here, we just call them California berries. And we wait until the locals come on.

ouch! ya got me. are you 'trolling'? Styrafoam??? come on now...and Hollow?...I won't eat em and I am from Ca.Ca.

a hundred years ago when I was a kid, we used to put our camos (USMC)on and some leaves in our helmet net. We would then crawl in the furrows in the strawberry fields in Orange county. We would eat these until we were sick. Even the green ones were sweet! Maybe that's why I don't eat them anymore.

Or how about this, And we thought the sunshine gave us cancer. Here's another one, the oranges and avacados are hollow too. How about, The imported fruit (off season) here is fresher, since it only has a few miles to go cause the border is just a few miles away.....BTW, my wife thinks there great. Another BTW, These big hollow pieces of red styrafoam don't need refridgeration! "In fact", they NEVER turn or rot! and they are bird resistant!!!.So there! and whats with the Corn we are getting? is like eating, what?, Oh, like eating yellow leather! you need an awl to pick the kernels from between your teeth! Someone send me some good Iowa corn!!!!! !!!!! !!!!! !And buy our strawberries because we need the money for gasoline.....sl

Steve, you are sooo funny! California cardboard is not just for berries and maters anymore.

Oh well, I'm a squash, gourd and pumpkin grower.
