Grapefruits to me is strongly connected with my father. He LOVES them and eats them as some would eat candy.
Grapefruit season here in Sweden is rather long, since we import them from all over the world. It starts in November and ends in May. However, I think you can buy them throughout the entire year. But since it's April, we're at the end of the real grapefruit season and the stores are selling them for CHEAP. I bought this darling on Monday for 5 kr. Normally they go for 9.90 at my store (okay, I'm officially a nerd for remembering our standard price for grapefruits...)
As I looked at the sticker to see where it came from (while eating it) it hit me that DAMN, this little grapefruit has travelled all the way from the sunshine state: Florida, USA. Imagine being a little grapefruit growing happily on a branch in the sun and then one day be thrown into a container with thousands of others. That's gotta be horrible. And then being shipped to all kinds of places and end up in a fruit corner somewhere. Poor grapefruit. (If a grapefruit has thoughts and feelings, that is..)
I guess it's a good thing I liberated it from its pains and ate it, right?
