CB I could recall the Italian specialist who went to Brazil and said the Parma Ham there would never be like real Italian Parma Ham.

The guys asked why? he said the difference are the apple trees that surrounds the valley where we produce our Parma ham. The wind blows the trees aroma when they blossom.

The Brazilians planted a hell lot of apples around the place and I can tell you our Prosciutto Crudo is real good.

But why there were apples there, you may ask:

The Pied Noir, who are French who lived in the Algeria -after France lost their colony Algeria- went to Brazil. There everyone told them they could never plant apple trees. It wouldn't work. Our were all imported from Argentina. When small boy, I could eat an apple only when I was sick and could eat anything, so expensive they were.

The pied noir persevered. Today we export apples to all over the world and they are dirty cheap. And I wouldn't trade a Brazilian Fuji or Gala apple for the ones tasting like Styrofoam I used to eat when sick. Try a Fuji and a Gala apple, you'll love them!!

How about wine? California wine. Chilean wine Australian wine? There is no one with a monopoly in making some stuff. It can be all reproduced.

One day we will get a Porsche made in China.

But, CB, one thing I won't trade: My Rolex GMT Master for a copy I find here in the streets of BKK.
