  1. In chapter 5 of my never-published memoir Everything I Needed to Know, I Learned From Showtunes:

    "At any vegetable market from Borneo to Nome/ You mustn't squeeze the melon till you get the melon home"

  6. Funny! But really? I can't pick up the fruit and see if it's ripe to my liking? I just have to take it as is? Is that typical for farmer's markets? I don't really get to shop at any...

  8. Rivki: The fruit in the picture are boxed, and sold "as-is." Many stands, however, have piles of loose produce, which you may handle, squeeze, sniff, thump, etc. to your heart's content.
