Re: Lady Finger taste report
At least on Hawaii Island, you can pretty easily find what I think are all Williams grown on the island as the farm has its own sticker and the stores will mark them as local. From my own home grown Williams, I really don't think they taste much different than the imported Dole and Chiquita ones. I'll try to remember to do that though, it would be interesting. The local ones sold in stores still are picked a while before they're ripe. But I don't know that it really matters much as long as the fruit have filled in. Even when I've thought my home grown Williams might have tasted better than store bought, I can't rule out that it wasn't just the bias in wanting to think they were better because I grew them and picked them more ripe. Anyway, when I do try to do that comparison report, I'll do it blinded.
I'd love to taste a Sweetheart, or really any type I haven't already tried. I've never seen the plants of fruit for sale here though.
