[El Gordo]

Call me ignorant, but I had to look this one up. I'd have thought it was a film too .

Not ignorance in the usual sense, just a cultural difference. Even within Europe there's a lot of variety in availability of fruit and veg.

[Climbs on soapbox...]

The Brits are constantly criticised for their food but we have more variety here than anywhere I've been. Countries with more recognisable cuisines and wine industries are pitifully chauvinistic. In Siciy, it's almost impossible to buy a bottle of wine not made on the island (with the exception of Champagne). And although eating out was a pleasure, there was little variety from one place to the next. It's good to get home for a full range of fruit and veg again -- and the possibility of a curry.
