Good for you CB, < I bought a 3 pound box of New Zealand golden kiwis at Costco today, in your honor. Only $4.99 for the box!> but I'm afraid the quality isn't what you get fresh off the vine. They pick them too soon so they can spend months in cool stores and transit and shops. You are only half alive. Same here. By the way, that US$5 per 3 pounds is NZ$9 per kilogram. They are only NZ$3 per kilogram here. The green variety is NZ$1 per kilogram [US20c per pound]. We are poor, but wealthy. Check out our online supermarket and prices here: woolworths.co.nz You can search "Kiwifruit" to go straight to the items. The green Hayward variety should be eaten by the dozen, but the enzymes can literally kill! When there's a surplus, they've been fed to cows and some really did die. Cows get bloat and the enzyme-filled kiwifruit apparently gave them a very bad bout of it. When fully ripened, you can eat as many as you like with no gastrointestinal tract irritation. It's a bit like pineapples, which dissolve your mouth if not fully-ripened before picking. It's the same with bananas and most other produce these days, from fish to fruit, eggs, meat and vegetables. It's all grown for show and weight. The flavour and nutrition is simply not there. One of my ideas for one of these days is to make fresh, properly grown, food. I don't mean organic [that's Greeny nonsense]. I mean better than that! Sure, it would have to move very quickly through supply chains to customers, but to get good quality, that's part of the game. It would cost more per kilogram too, because feeding animals and plants properly costs money. There are other possible costs such as airfreight and better packaging. Meanwhile, here are some Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer testimonials [these will be true]. You should buy one!http://www.dishdrawer.com/ We need the US$dollars to buy more CDMA equipment and MSFT software and Dell computers and Ford [Mazda] cars etc, most of which are Made in China, Taiwan, Korea etc. Tell Uncle Al to print some more to fund USS Enterprise government so US taxpayers can have a tax cut and use the savings to buy Kiwifruit and DishDrawers. Mq ========================================================== Customer Testimonials June 14, 2001 I got so much more than I bargained for! January 27, 2001 I would like to say that I am very impressed with your product. January 15, 2001 I loved my dish drawer before but now I want to continue to replace my appliances with your products. October 3, 2000 We've never had such spotless dishes. I can't imagine being more pleased with an appliance! And, it's good looking. September 28, 2000 "I chose one DishDrawer and, if one can fall in love with and appliance, I have." September 25, 2000 "I can't tell you how delighted I have been with my new double DishDrawer" August 25, 2000 "I have had my dish drawers almost a year now and just wanted to let you know how very much I like them." March 13, 1999 "This DishDrawer is unbelievable...I show [it to] everyone that walks in my house" February 19, 1999 "I am so thrilled with my new double DishDrawer" February 18, 1999 "I am really happy with the dishdrawers and how well and quiet they work" January 12, 1999 "Here's what one happy customer had to say about The DishDrawer" May 29, 1998 Philadelphia Inquirer "The DishDrawer" May 24, 1998 South West Florida Daily News "Trends can be a serious business" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June 14, 2001 Dear Sirs: I have never in my life written to a company about an appliance, unless it made me extremely unhappy. This is a first. Last year I purchased the Dishdrawer because I liked the styling and I was in the market for a stainless steel dishwasher. I got so much more than I bargained for! I have the double dishdrawer and I absolutely love it! I no longer have unwashed dishes because I can run it after each meal or simply when it is full. I get as much- if not more dishes and glasses into one dishdrawer than I am able to load in my old large unit. The funniest moment was when the installation was completed, the serviceman left and I ran it for the first time,I thought he forgot to connect something because you could not hear it running!!!! With my last "quiet" GE Dishwasher, I could not speak on the phone in my kitchen while it was running therefore the wash cycle had to be interrupted. I am now purchasing the new cooktop from your company solely on the satisfaction received from this wonderful DishDrawer. I am certain that I will be just as happy! I only wish you made a wall oven to go with it!!!! Thank you so much! Sincerely, C.V.
