Hopefully I can both learn and share with/from all > of you. > > -Jonathon @@@@ I'm starting to realize that FL is kind of an exotic foreign land within the US. I've spent 93% of my life in the greater Philadelphia region, 7% near Chicago, and have never been to FL, CA, TX, or any other countries. I also wasn't paying attention as a child when I was supposed to learn basic facts about the world. Please forgive me for possibly sounding like an idiot, but I want to slip into " dumb foreigner " mode for a second. My mother recently vacationed in FL and told me there are palm trees there. Does that mean you can get fresh coconuts in FL???? If so, is there an opportunity for a domestic, organic, biodynamic coconut operation? Can you buy fresh turmeric? I imagine it would be easy to grow. There are all these " exotic " , " tropical " type things that I have relegated to faraway lands that are difficult to interact with, so it's a weird thought that if I felt like it I could just hop in my car right now and be in this bizarre, exotic place a day or so later! And if I felt like it I could even move there tomorrow with little hassle. I would never do that, for reasons of cultural attachment to the mid-Atlantic metropolitan region (Boston to DC, aka " the center of the universe " LOL sounds ridiculous but it's an authentic feeling! ), but it's an absorbing thought. Any comments on the bioregional aspect of your FL food supply would be welcomed. Is there a sickly fruitarian demographic in your area?

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 , You crack me up--oh, and hello! Jonathon--I do know (from a former life lived with a herpetologist) that there are considerable colonies of feral iguanas--refugees from the pet trade--roosting in south Florida's trees. Bioregional food supply, heh. We have fresh turmeric here in CA at the asian stores--I am surprised you can't find it as I imagine you're about, say, ten times more resourceful than me. Do Cubans use it? Oh, and Jonathon? Please post a picture of your butt to the photo files, thank you. B.

Bioregional food supply, heh. @@@ I think I recall something about eating raw, live iguanas in one of my books about unusual foods? Say, , would you mind trying that and letting us know how it goes? @@@ : > We have fresh turmeric here in CA at the asian stores--I am surprised > you can't find it as I imagine you're about, say, ten times more > resourceful than me. @@@ Actually, I've got turmeric on the brain because I just recently found a source of frozen turmeric at a local Thai grocery, so I'm very excited. But fresh, I'm not optimistic. Even in the massive Vietnamese district of Philly, with several giant Vietnamese supermarkets, they don't have it. That's the biggest SE Asian center in this region that I know of--I have never seen much SE Asian stuff in NYC despite the riches of Chinatown, but somehow it seems like that stuff's gotta be there somewhere? I also got frozen " rhizome " , as it's humurously labelled in classic Asian market style, which the clerk referred to as " white ginger " . I haven't had a chance to figure out what it is yet. It's a long, thin root. That reminds of some of the hilarious labels on Asian foods, like the ones labelled " Chinese vegetable " , with no other info of any kind, as if there is only one vegetable in China!

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2004 Report Share Posted November 15, 2004 , Re: fresh turmeric Have you scouted the Indian stores? Nah, they probably don't have it either if the SE Asians don't. But they use it a lot. Jonathon, is there a large Peruvian population in Orlando? My Peruvian SIL's family is there and I'm intrigued now after reading the Guinea pig article... B.

Nah, they probably don't have it > either if the SE Asians don't. But they use it a lot. @@@@ There's a large Indian population in this DE/PA/NJ area and I've been shopping heavily at a number of Indian shops for many years, long predating my NT days, and I've never seen it. They always have the dried stuff in large bags at very cheap prices, which has been my only experience with turmeric up till now. When I was younger and still lived with my mother, she tried several times to forbid my use of turmeric because of stains! LOL!

I think I can one-up you there. I have a bag of " Indispensable Condiment " . No other info (at least not in English). MFJ I wanna live! I wanna experience the Universe!
