I like my chocolate liqueur imported from Italy (Meletti is the brand).
Most bananas sold in the USA (including those sold in Florida supermarkets) are grown in Guatemala, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Columbia, and Honduras.
EVEN THOUGH Florida is one of the top 2 banana growers in the USA.
Florida does not value "home grown" at all; even during the season, orange prices are no better here than they are back home in New England and even though tomato plants can thrive for most of the year, most of the tomatoes you get at the supermarket are from somewhere other than Florida.
For all the talk of "Made in America" there are just way too many people who make a lot of noise - but don't walk the talk.

Most of Florida oranges comes from California due to orange tree plague last 20 years.
