fred and i saw two extremes of the american food industry this day. first, the farmers market — small individual producers/vendors selling their stuff at retail in a local open-air market that was laid-back, civilized and fun. (we got blueberry jam.)
later, we visited a huge warehouse place that sells food items in bulk, all packaged for the restaurant trade and other high-volume customers. (i got two bottles of fruit syrup — made by torani in california — to spike soda and make european-style coolers this summer.) terrific prices on everything from enormous packages of meat to gargantuan bags of spring mix salad greens. no charm, no personal interaction — but a way for hard-pressed small restaurateurs to keep costs down and their people employed.
different strokes for different folks. courtesy of the free enterprise system. take that, venezuela.
