 RH>>> Got to be grown somewhere other than Raleigh, but where is the
 RH>>> unknown.
 NB>>> According to the package, it is grown by Naturipe Farms, 13200
 NB>>> Strickland Rd #114-323, Raleigh NC 27613....
 RH>> Sounds like a business address. Maybe an extreme outer limit of
 RH>> Raleigh; the city seems to like to put "city limits" signs way
 RH>> far away from the city. (G)
 NB>> It could be a Raleigh post office, and be somewhat rural, just
 NB>> outside, like many of the farms around here are....   But
 NB>> apparently, this company also is in (or has a farm in) Georgia,
 NB>> as Michael bought a pint of blueberries, same brand, but
 NB>> Georgia.... 

 RH> Could be regional offices, with the farms relatively near each one.

Could be.... that could be interesting to follow up on, possibly... if
anyone had time and energy to do so... 

 RH> We got some SC peaches at a roadside stand on our way north on Saturday.
 RH> Small, clingstone, but very juicy. Good for eating as is; I don't want
 RH> to mess with cutting them up for pies or whatever.

Yeah... very juicy would make a messy job of it...   I think I saw SC
peaches in our store... didn't get any, as I didn't need more fruit at
the time...  

 RH>>>>> We were over there last night and they had the ginger. We both
 RH>>>>> took a sample taste of it--a bit too strong for a full cone
 RH>>>>> but would be good in small amounts.
 NB>>>>> Would be interesting to compare with what Fu makes... 
 RH>>>> Yes, he had a pint of it in the freezer tonight but we left it
 RH>>>> there. Talked with his wife--he will do special requests so
 RH>>>> maybe we can request ginger for late September.
 NB>>>> That would be nice... 
 RH>>> I'll have to remember in mid September or so to ask him to do a
 RH>>> batch for the last week end of the month.
 NB>>> Jot it down on your calendar.... (G)
 RH>> Maybe, but can't at the moment.
 NB>> Not being home with the main computer.... don't you have a pocket
 NB>> calendar to jot it down in....?

 RH> Probably the phone has a memo type section but we're back home and can
 RH> now put it on the calendar.

Good timing...    

 RH> Found a place that has 30 flavors of Hershey's ice cream the other
 RH> night. (G)
 
On the road, or locally....?

 NB>>>>> As in, only the most adventurous child would like it....?  Or
 NB>>>>> with ingredients that children shouldn't have....?
 RH<>>> The latter. (G)
 NB>>>> Ah... like coffee, or alcoholic....?
 RH>>> Again, the latter. Found out he does a lot from scratch,
 RH>>> including making his own extracts.
 NB>>> Those could be interesting to try, too....  
 RH>> His ice creams have them in their base mix.
 NB>> Another innovator, like Fu...  

 RH> Yes, but this one only does ice cream, not sushi. (g)

It being only an ice cream shop...    And, Fu also does innovations on
appetisers and other menu items as well.... not just sushi... (G)
