...read my post.

On one hand, you've got your huge supermarket franchises like SafeJam, and they want to sell the big profit staples...red delicious apples, big yellow bananas, strawberries, etc.

Then there's the worker-owned collective that puts sweet plantains and loquats and Carribbean breadfruit in all these mixed-up crazy barrels...make-your-own-flavor style. You the Defway owner and he'll say..."Try some nice canned fruit cocktail! You'll love it, and there's always more where that came from!"

Meanwhile Al (the) Green grocer at Rawcooks cooperative is saying "Try a breaded tomato slice with pear chutney...you'll only find it here."

Okay, I got off track. But my point is, the visionaries can reconceptualize cuisine and the palate. They can experiment and draw surprising and rewarding connections.
