Sure, rub it in. I'm picturing you posting this from a bathtub full of ripe mini-romanos that you're flame-roasting over a pile of smouldering hundred-dollar bills, you sonofabitch.

I live in Brandywine territory. They're not cheap, but they're plentiful from the Amish farms. They're also huge, so you better have a lot of sandwiches or salads right away! I like them for caprese salad with local fresh mozzarella. The Philadelphia region is a foodie paradise.

I live in Australia. The produce is generally good, but might as well be made of gold at the price we pay. "Truss tomatoes" aka hydroponic tomatoes sold on the vine cost between $3-5/lb here. Heirlooms are closer to $8/lb. You can buy Australian wine in Philly cheaper than I can at the vineyard.

Sheesh. I would hope everyone who has a yard grows their own? I expect if the various subsidies given to farms here were suspended (just waiting for the shitheads in charge to do it), our food prices would shoot up. Prices do rise and fall seasonally here.

There are a couple of months of relief when every second house in the Italian neighbourhoods put up their signs "si vendi pomodoro per salsa" and I can grab amazing romanos for cents on the dollar.
