      the price isn’t the issue, it’s the delicate dedication it took to produce that crown melon. I am not so sure Australia comprehends the amount of dedication that it takes to produce one of these melons.
      This isn’t a typical melon like watermelons or pumpkins, this was hand breed, hand raised, hand nurtured, environment controlled, etc… This top of the top fruit.
      A Greece equivalence, it’s as if Persephone herself gifts you a sacred pomegranate, or if Xi Jiping hands you an immortality peach.
      It is that grave of a “considerate gesture” she made.

        I didn’t imply the price was an issue, I’m just converting to a currency most readers would understand better.

        If the Japanese spent less time growing one fruit, they might still have an empire. So there’s that.

          Now this is an uncouth comment, not dark.
