I've got a friend who lives in San Francisco. I've always, the 10 or so times I've visited USA, felt more at home in the coastal regions. Flyover country is not my thing, really. He's from Wisconsin, so has a more balanced view wrt coast vs plains/mountains. But, which is why he's mentioned here, we also spoke, one day, about the food. And he, who spent like 15 years in Sweden, is dual citizen and so on, said, "The produce, the quality, it's simply fantastic." I'm inclined to believe that. Must get over and visit him. Which means I need to get dayjob to sponsor the trip. Cheap me. Wonder how much you can check or ship home from a suitable TEA fulfillment outlet...
