FY> From: tipcat@wam.umd.edu (Frank Young) FY> I used to shop in the Fresh Fields on 123 in Fairfax Station and do FY> believe that their produce is the best in the area. Organic, maybe. Healthful or tasty, nope. On my last three trips there: on each trip, there was rotten (and I don't mean bleu, I mean green!) cheese in the cooler. A container of alfredo sauce which I purchased, based on an in-store taste, turned out to have nowhere /near/ the amount of grated parmesan cheese that the in-store sample had. Most of their dairy stuff is not open-dated, which I believe violates state law. And when I bought a fresh/organic turkey there at Thanksgiving, after /two days/ sitting in my own refrigerator at a temperature of about 42F, the inside of the bird was still frozen rock solid, suggesting fairly strongly that in fact it had not been given to me un-frozen. Not going back. There are tastier ways to spend a lot of money. (And their bread don't keep worth a damn, either.)
