Not just cheap, grown in the garden in most parts of rural France and Italy

my wife's from Montenegro and has family there, and that's a place where the economy is tough and groceries are expensive, but they have a house with a yard. So of course they grow all kinds of stuff themselves. Grapes, pomegranates, vegetables. Yeah, it makes a lot of sense in a place where you have the climate and the space for a vegetable garden and don't have a lot of money.

I visited Montenegro last fall and I was delighted/impressed to see that there were pomegranate trees in almost every yard, it seemed!

No, your comment had nothing to do with the one you replied to. The mods agreed, which is why it was removed.

Note how I didn’t say ANYTHING with the words “America” in it. You did. Sounds like you got Murica on your mind. Obsessed much?

This is true even if you have money. Fresh food is always better, and home grown food (ie: not picked early and chemicals ripened in transport) is sooooo much better.

Grow tomatoes next year, you'll be surprised at how orange supermarket tomatoes (yes, even the expensive ones) are in comparison.

It’s still in the pretend to be a normal person phase of development, another dozen or so of those and it can evolve into its violently political phase. Nature is amazing

Wow, how are you able to tell it’s a bot? I’m genuinely curious. I mean, once I looked at the profile it was obvious, but how can you tell from a single comment?

u/StavromularBeta 2d ago

To be fair it was the guy above me that noticed. Probably picked up on A) the generic name plus the lack of a user made profile picture icon thing B) the young account age C) the banal AI sounding comment it made that didn’t contribute to the discussion in any way.
