Sixteen degrees at 8am. Bright sunshine. And up here on The Rock, a gentle laundry-drying breeze.
The other day in Conad Supermarket, Cannobio. Prime walnuts, price €8.95 per kilo. Price includes first class shipping by Noberasco some 11,000km from Argentina.
Part of what's wrong with the world.
Today in Carmine Superiore. Just-fallen walnuts, price €0.00 per kilo. Price includes a breath of mountain air to pluck them from the tree, 15 minutes gathering, first class transport 300m down the hill from the prato, and a day on the windowsill drying in the autumn sun.
Part of what's right with Carmine Superiore.
There is definitely sth wrong with the world with all the shipping stuff back and forth!
ReplyDeleteAnd when you collected the walnuts yourself, they taste a lot better. :-)
Ridiculous price and so wrong. Also here in my garden plenty of walnuts for those that want them. If only we could trade virtually.
ReplyDeleteI can almost smell the autumn when I look at your picture!
ReplyDeleteA lovely sign of autumn! There's nothing that tastes better than picking your own nuts and berries!
