Florida tomato industry in 'complete collapse'

[nobody's_hero]

Don't forget, South Korea's citizens are protesting (sometimes violently) against their government on the issue of resuming U.S. beef imports into that country. Apparently, our very meticulous government regulation and inspection progams aren't convincing our trade partners, either.

Let's see, I had Romaine hearts and fried oysters a la "Caesars" with gribiche, and Arborio risotto with "Caribbean Laughing" shrimp and spring vegetables.

But I washed that down with some white wine and a gin/tonic, as well as a glass of Cockburn's Port and a Warm chocolate steamed pudding with Valrhona chocolate sauce and pistachio ice cream.

Hopefully enough alcohol to kill any (if any).

I don't care what anyone says, I love snooty food. Of course, I also love comfort food. A cheeseburger can be just as fantastic as lobster Napoleon.

Say YES to tomatos, NO to vaccines.
deal?

 

[Pedro TT]

Damn this explains alot. I work directly in front of a tomato processing plant/market and the place is usually bustling 24/7. For the last 1 1/2 weeks it has sat lifeless. This place is MASSIVE and has been practically shut down. I simply figured the season was over but I guess I was wrong.

Sorry man! I loves my vaccines just as much as I loves my tomatoes. . . .mmmm, vaccines.

Between my grandfather's and father's gardens not to mention my own, I don't have to worry about this Tomato problem

Blech!

I'd try that before I'd eat bugs though.

P.S. I grow my own cilantro. Do it while it's still legal!

Clueless alert.

I grow my own cilantro as well. That doesn't mean I am dumb enough to spike my CHILI. Get in Line.
I am unique. (when it comes to chili)
