Sure, we'll just go to the secret Northeast Banana Orchard...

I'm off today, but a CW just texted me this:

A customer wanted to know if we had local bananas.

...now I know it's been a bit tropical climate-wise as of late, but really?

Yes'm, we got six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch

When I worked in the Now-Defunct Tea Store, I once had a customer ask about Canadian tea ...

I know I am in southern Ontario, dear customer, but it is still NOWHERE near the climate that tea needs.

I also get asked with some regularity where our Italian coffee beans (as in actually grown in Italy) are

There probably are some microclimates in the far south that may be able to support very small-scale grows, but...it wouldn't be worth the effort.

Yes, we have no bananas.

In a way that makes sense. I drink plenty of 'English' and 'Irish' breakfast tea, but that is in the context of where the blend was first sold at, and not where it was grown.

In the case of German Chocolate Cake, it was named after chocolate maker Samuel German from Texas. Chocolate isn't grown in the US or Germany.

But camellia, the tea bush is able t be grown in much of the US .... my grandmother even had a couple in her decorative formal garden. DOn't think she ever tried making tea leaves, but the process is not over difficult for green tea it is simply drying it, black tea takes some controlled fermentation.

But the song already has a truck, how about something with Motherhood OR that country and western thing??? with wailing fiddles and a killer banjo part and the LA Memorial Choir

Needs to be updated to todays pop sensibilities with some samples... accordions, bagpipes, tubas and a dozen of the hottest rappers...

Whereabouts in the U.S. did your grandmother live?

It would probably be possible to grow the plants in southern Ontario ... especially at the Windsor-Detroit border ... but I don't know if it would be possible to make a living at it.

Places like London, ON, are known to be in the "snow belt" ... not sure how that would work with the plants.
