What you get for 15.76Euro


Yeah, you heard that right.

Ya know, all this time I've been buying my fruit in the grocery store...in France and in Texas.  And all this time I've driven by the little fruit stands and thought, geeze, I really should buy my fruit and veggies there instead.

Sure, I know there's going to be a little more expensive, but my thought is that they'd be better fruit, locally grown, and you're supporting the little guy.

Well frick that.
I stopped in the fruit stand that is right next door to the boulangerie and picked out these prize winning fruits.  OK, not really prize winning, but FRICK
8.62 for a pineapple and 7.14 for a cantelope!!

AND they're not even locally grown - the pineapple is from Benin...where the frick is Benin?
