"Cool-A-Coos were awesome, much better than the San Francisco version which is still available, the IT'S-IT. Coos were bigger and tastier and more pristine." - rizzo0904, on the sadly defunct ice cream novelty Cool-A-Coos

"Many people live in areas with no farmers' market and in fact, no supermarket—just bodegas and quickie marts. Fresh food (meat, not just produce) has a short shelf life and is difficult to stock if a store doesn't have a lot of turnover in those items. Some people also have no cooking facilities or equipment. And some people just plain don't know what to do with ingredients rather than ready-to-eat or grab-and-go foods. And the unfortunate truth is that, because of the food politics in this country, a pound of carrots is more expensive than a two-liter bottle of soda." - Ericka L

"Think about this one fruit that you can get three different flavor and texture stages from, and all its various cooking possibilities; combined with the plantain's general availability and low price. It's like a fruit miracle." - bushwickgirl, on plantains
