customs must be full of fun guys

the thing is, nobody in Switzerland knows what shiitake is, there is no demand

Grow your own at that point tbh

so if you want fresh (not dried) shiitake, you need to go to the super-fancy Japanese shop

also mushrooms are dont grow just everywhere

and are major fucking pain in the ass to grow artificialy

they do, the edible ones don't

tbh I've been to shroom farms here

Maybe delecite psychedelics

it looks easy enough

dry shiitake is much much cheaper because you can get them from the Chinese shops

But shittake is literally pine logs with holes in then

on the other hand, rice here is cheaper than in any Asian country

they grow shiitake on fucking rotting pine logs

neat stuff

there is no country in Asia with cheaper rice than Switzerland

So this is the power of the mountain jew

I still need to try the more meme rare mushrooms

1 kg of jasmine rice = 0.65 $
1kg of round rice = 0.90 $

.....

how the fuck

They all kind of taste the same.

that's cheaper than malaysian rice

yeah I don't know how that's possible

thats around same here (if you buy them in 20-50kg bags :P

I know the round rice comes from a fully automated rice farm in Italy

probly all the way to 0.5euros per kg

Probably some obscure trade agreement.

so there's 0 farmer cost

but the jasmine rice is actually imported from Thailand

and it somehow costs more on Thai websites than in the local shop in Switzerland

is automated rice farming the future?

my only theory at this point is that we get the lowest-tier rice because people here don't care

probly 2nd tier or so rice

what does not meet the restaurant criteria

they usualy sell those dirt cheap

makes sense from that standpoint

kinda tastes the same though...

But the fully-automated rice farm in Italy is pretty cool
