    Then you gotta go further south and southeast and east. I haven't tasted European fruit, but there is a genuine (really, not placebo) difference where I've been. Have you picked a fruit off a tree in Europe?

I've eaten tomatoes picked straight from the ground in Italy, I've eaten apples off of a tree in Paris (a rare treat), I've had Menemen in Turkey made fresh from the garden owned by our Hotel operators. Honestly it was all very good, but I see no difference between the good food there and the good food here.
