    I love Kiwifruit season when they get down to like $1/kg

    I eat a lot of them.

    The juice is great for tenderizing meat also.

    • Man, where do you live? I’m in Minnesota, and our kiwi have to come from halfway around the globe. $1/lb sounds like a fantasy to me.

      I once dated a girl who grew up in Hawaii. She used to mock us mainlanders for buying starfruit. First of all, because she thought they aren’t a very good fruit, but second because apparently where she grew up, they were something of a pest plant: they were everywhere and dropped their fruit on the sidewalk and you’d step on them if you weren’t careful and it’d make a mess.

      It’s all perspective, huh?
