My Berkeley food ruminations took me to Carnival of the Green, and it is only right and proper that I welcome visitors from there. What did I discover of interest?
Adam, waxing lyrical about Australian Organic Blood Oranges. I know I’m spoilt, but the ones from Sicily that will be appearing in a few weeks are possibly even better. and there’s the lottery of produce that hasn’t been over-selected, that individual oranges will be good or not-so-good.
And then a very bizarre piece of seeming plagiarism at a site purporting to deliver Own Home Style.1 The post offers “The cultivation of vegetables” and is preceded by the following bizarre disclaimer:

I did, I did, and it is ancient stuff lifted from any number of sources. I know recycling is green, but come on? This kind of crapola needs reducing. To zero.

Oooh Sicilian blood oranges, I’m jealous!
That whole region makes some great fruit. To this day the best kiwis I’ve ever had came from Italy.
P.S. I really like your design! Very nice and organized and clean.
@Adam Pieniazek – thanks Adam, on both counts.
The kiwi area is just south of Rome, and very odd too if you’re not expecting it. To begin with they just adapted the old vineyard structures but now the trellising is more purpose built. And they are tasty.
I like your blog – very interesting but might I take issue with you on the subject of Somerset. I live in Dorset – enough said!
@Fiona Robinson – Dorset is very nice too, no doubt about it. But I’ve heard it said that Somerset is everyone’s second favourite county. That is, some like Dorest best, and some like Yorkshire, or Norfolk, but everyone puts Somerset second.
So on a single transferable vote …
