What vegetables and fruits do you wish were commonly available in the US? - Lemmy.World

Any of them before soil depletion and banana blight. Fruits and veggies tasted so much better in the 80s. Melons in particular taste lifeless now. Once in a while I strike gold at the local farmer’s market or in our own garden.

And tomatoes. Tomatoes used to be amazing. Even the worst ones were amazing.

Now they just taste like “wet”. If you want a good tomato you have to track down lovingly and carefully bred heirloom plants and grow them yourself.

OMG, yes. The flavor “wet” has been added to my lexicon.
