A bunch of papaya I saw in my supermarket today. Super exotic fruit from the other side of the world, in a supermarket which claims to be ultra ethical. I think if it's come a long way it's important to weigh that up against whether a product is organic or not. What is the fuel usage per product mile of shipping tonnes and tonnes of fruit from Africa to the UK as compared to driving fifteen miles to a market with two crates of apples.
I love the colours, the yellow is amazing, a kind of lemon-banana colour, it reminds me of the colour of the yellow starburst and what imaginative soul thought to pack them on a lurid green crate that actually doesn't create a colour clash?
I am sure I've eaten papaya in yoghurt before, but yoghurt is one of those things which really only tastes like the colour, there are about three flavours of yoghurt, with a few variations, red, yellow and green, with small distinctions between red and purple and yellow and orange. Another thing today, which totally blew my socks off, was hearing Stevie Wonder's Higher Ground.
