Food for Thought from Rebecca, our Market Manager
Apples are the universal fruit. Every part of the world seems to boast some version of the putative agent of Eve’s fall from grace. And why not? How else to illustrate a cautionary tale about snakes and innocent husbands?
A really divine apple tells you instantly why Eve made such a disastrous choice. It’s the perfect fruit. I
can just hear her now, the union days old and already wearing a little thin. “What’s this? It’s handsome, sweet, holds up after a little bruising; it likes ice cream. It’s versatile; I can exert pressure on it and satisfy not just my hunger but my thirst. It beats, hands down, this prude named Adam!”
