Hürriyet Daily News reports that Turkey has signed some sort of agreement with Chile, by which we will be seeing a lot more Chilean produce imported into Turkey. I was hoping this would mean we could finally get things like limes or maybe even blueberries, but no. So far they’re sending nuts, apples, kiwi, grapes, pears, cherries, peaches, and plums— all things we already have. I get that it’s a way for both countries to have fruit year-round, but honestly I like the fact that fruits are seasonal. I’d prefer to have a greater selection of fruits and vegetables instead. I’ve always found it ironic that although we live in Asia, there are no Asian markets here like there are everywhere else in the world. If you want things like pak choi or durian, the closest place you can get those is Europe.
