Do you ever have a day where you just eat fruit and nothing but fruit? Â I haven't yet, but I wouldn't put it past me. Â My wife Sue Choy is crazy about blueberries, and recently took a trip out to Richmond to pick some up. Â All the good spots are deep in East Richmond, if you get a chance it's pretty cool out there, a far cry from No. 3 Rd....yep..the numbers do go pretty high....
Post up your favourite places to buy local fruit.....
Bonus: How crazy is Sue Choy about blueberries?
Like koo-koo for cocoa puffs crazy.
Last year she went out there and made the mistake of asking for 'the big box'. Â Next thing you know the nice Indian man, was cramming a pallet of blueberries into her Honda Civic. Â The typical Vancouverite "I don't want to offend the guy" attitude plus her love for blueberries left us eating them solid for a year. Â You should have heard our conversation later that day...
"Let me get this straight..you have no more room in your car, why? Â Tell me you didn't spend more than $50.....OK....$100??...you gotta be kidding me....$150?? Â How much does that buy?'
$160.00 she spent....I swear...she ate two boxes like the ones in the pic above by the handful, even then we could barely cram the rest in our freezer. Â After that....blueberries in my oatmeal every day....blueberry pancakes, blueberry crisp, blueberry cobbler, blueberry smoothies....this year I supervised....
