Let me point out some important things about us: a) We've always had fruit/veggie stands everywhere in the city. b) Eating fruits and veggies has always been an important part of our diets. c) Even though for some reason people and the media think that we only eat meat we do not. Our country's bounty also provides us with great poultry and fish; thus this is part of our diet as well. Pasta, paella, etc. also enter the picture because of our ancestry. The same goes for German dishes, French dishes and the like. d) Our main protein dishes are always accompanied by a well assorted salad or a panache of veggies. Restaurants always have fruits and veggies in their menus (veggies for side dishes / fruit for dessert). e) It is not common for people to serve themselves at the fruit stand. The attendant does so, gladly! f) There is no display rack or anything like that underneath the fruit/veggies. This is done one by one just like building blocks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852451045058053520.post-56914333707526862872009-08-13T23:50:31.519-07:002009-08-13T23:50:31.519-07:00Apparently, my comment was wrong.
