That's what they're called. That's what they're advertised as. That's

grapes in that if you drop one on the floor it bounces under the
table like a grape. But they're not grapes because grapes taste like
grapes and these have no taste. They're just little balls of water.
Green ones just a tad better than the red, but nothing like a
California grown seedless Thompson. I'm glad they talked the Chilean
farmers into growing foodstuffs instead of coca plants, but lordy
lordy their stuff can't touch American grown. Peaches are pretty on
the outside but grainy and tasteless on the inside. No competition
for Georgia. Same with plums, pears, and cherries. Can't wait til
spring gets here.


I've been buying excellent Chilean grapes for years and just like
American grown grapes, sometimes you get a bunch that isn't primo
tasting.



Some Chilean wine isn't too bad........ so they must be using all their
good grapes for that :-)
