On the mosquito appeared exotic - Chilean sweet cherry. And while Uzbek and Ukrainian varieties have not yet started, there are no competition in the market, which allows the only seller to establish its own fair price - 220 rubles per kilogram. To try a pair (literally) berries, I had to pay 5 rubles.
There is still no cherry season in the country, no strawberries, no blueberries, but some sellers are already expanding their range. Thus, on the covered platform of the Komarovsky market, you can purchase a kilogram of Chilean cherries for 220 rubles, blueberries - for 120 rubles, and strawberries from Greece - for 45 rubles (on the street cheaper - 25 rubles).
- There is no demand for a cherry, she stands for beauty, attracts customers. The taste like our, ordinary, - tells the seller. When asked why so expensive, it is responsible that delivery by plane from South America, that's the price is so high.
Granny is suitable, ten seconds studies price tags and says somewhere in the space: "At all squeezed with so prices."
Attention to the cherry also turned a little girl, she also asked mom to buy her to try, but the woman refused. Well, in a couple of minutes two clients, the sweet cherry was set up, however, only we were bothering to buy.
In my head, summer days are immediately remembered, when 5 rubles could be purchased by the shelter of Uzbek cherries, but today it is two berries. By the way, while the seller chose me the berries, and got rotten. On the scales of the hostess 24 grams - 5 rubles 28 kopecks, I make a discount. And carefully pack the purchase in the bag, all the same thing is valuable.
Already in the office on the kitchen scales, re-weigh the berries - 28 grams, and this is saving to a whole ruble. The bones and tails weighed 3 grams - 66 kopecks, more expensive "Rollton", which, unlike bone, you can still form a feeling of hunger.
The flesh of the berries is solid, according to the consistency reminds modern persimmon. The juiciness could not be fixed, the aftertaste lasts for 15 seconds. The taste itself is like an ordinary sweet cherry: not sour, not sweet, in general, definitely not the applicant for the title of "Cherry of the Year".
