Brian, why can’t you just fry your cabbage with some onion in a little oil and the sausage? I’ll bet that would be good.

Ah! I just saw your comment. Basically the same thing I said. Fried cabbage is awesome, too.

There are a few songs from the 40’s time that talk about how great bananas are. I wonder if importing them was new around that time.

Yea, that sounds good. A chef I worked for would saute cabbage in butter for St. Patrick’s Day. Whatever he did is was remarkable.

I don't think so. Do you know of US banana farms? The ones from the store are from S. America.

No, I know of none, but I’ve never thought about it to research it. Bananas are tropical, so there it is.

‘39, wow. Didn't know they were around then. There must have been a few stations around NYC. I doubt there were signals outside of that area.A 5" tv kit was roughly $1,300 today.

I was surprised too. Probably still pretty experimental back then?

I could be wrong, but it seems people in the 30’s, 40’s, maybe 50’s were excited about bananas.

Wow!
The first regularly scheduled television service in the United States began on July 2, 1928, fifteen months before the United Kingdom. The Federal Radio Commission authorized C. F. Jenkins to broadcast from experimental station W3XK in Wheaton Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. For at least the first eighteen months, 48-line silhouette images from motion picture film were broadcast, although beginning in the summer of 1929 he occasionally broadcast in halftones.[84][85]

Since the USA seems to be quickly becoming a “banana republic”, maybe we can grow our own.

We need to start learning. Most places might require a greenhouse though.
