> Has canned fruit actually lost popularity?
Compared to Del Monte's heyday in the previous century? Absolutely.
A remarkable amount of fruit is available all year, or most of the year now. I cant imagine eating canned fruit by choice.
Another thing in short supply these days is actually being able to buy an actually good Apple pie or Peach pie. Oh well…
I shall try and see if I can get a Peach or an Apple pie. This weekend you know the old-fashioned pie that actually tastes good and is well made.
That’s another thing that’s in short supply along with actually getting any good baked goods unless you can go to a small Bakery somewhere if you can find one they usually cost a more but not that much more than what you could find in the supermarket times have been changing for the worst when comes to baked goods.
Del Monte in recent times was passed between four equity companies. One of those equity companies actually bought them twice. Del Monte was on the pathway to hell.
Hopefully some of those trees can be transplanted within a 50 mile radius of where they are. If I lived up in that area. I would seriously try to see if I could transplant a few.
A well-made, old-fashioned peach pie. With good vanilla ice cream on top. McConnell’s, Häagen-Dazs or the best you can find locally or maybe homemade.
I forgot it was even a thing.
