RE: You Know You're from Suriname If.......? 🌴 Laughing with Stereotypes

Yeah, all that is too true. I don't think we could ever reopen our restaurant here because we would have to spend too much time farming the ingredients we need. We decided it would be more profitable to be farmers here than restaurateurs. The fruit and veg prices are so high here, but yet we see so much go to waste and rot at the market. I will never understand that.

Hey replace, that monster-sized gun with an assault rifle, and you have what would be a standard American Wal-Mart customer where I live.

A wallmart safari tour is definitely on my todo list for the US. :)

The food going to waste is part of the same business mentality problem. The concept of selling 2 of 20 watermelons for 50 each making 100 while throwing 18 away versus selling all 20 for 25 and making 500 is a hard one to understand for some. They would rather let it rot. There are some farmers who donate what they don't sell to childrens homes, but those are a handful.
