Last week-end I went for a trip in Sicily. Beside enjoining a beautiful country side, I also found a lot of farmers selling cherries along the road. The prices were between 1.5 Euro/kilo to 3.5 E/kilo ( top quality ). I actually came back to Malta with 4 kg of cherries in my carry-on baggage..
Yesterday I went to local fruit store and a nearby supermarket, the cherries are 8 or 9 Euro/kilo... a luxury ; maybe they should sell these fruits by piece...
So if you want to eat a lot of ( affordable ) cherries , sometimes it's cheaper to fly to Sicily...
btw, local figs are 5-6 E/kilo????
