"That stuff is infinitely better than the bland crap you guys have over there."
Ohh, don't stop. Tell us more sweeping generalizations about our entire country, with its thousands of different orange juice producers (all of which you've sampled) and its vastly different terrains, climates and farming practices that all lead to the same bland crap. What do you have to say of German Engineering? Belgian Chocolate? French Wine? Italian lovers? Asians are smart and the US is fat and the Russians are alcoholics, amirite!?
Anyways, thanks for chiming in on the entirety of OJ produced in the US.
- davidw 14y agoThe US has, historically, been very good at producing stuff that's good at being packaged up and sold anywhere in the country. Getting fresh fruit in Minnesota in the winter is a minor miracle of logistics. However, the general quality of fruit and vegetables there has been inferior to that which I get in Italy. I think it's changing, and that things have improved a lot, but the US is still catching up. I'm not the only one to see things this way - this book has a great section on why food is the way it is in the US: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005GSYYQ2/?tag=dedasys-20 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005GSYYQ2/?tag=dedasys-20 Food in Italy is more likely to be good, but a bit less good looking on the supermarket shelves, or perhaps inconvenient. Some of those red orange varieties have lots of seeds, and aren't very big. Oranges in the US are large, last a long time on the shelves, don't have many seeds, look good, and tend towards blandness. In my experience.
