The watermelons in the Bucovina, certainly were tasty, but the watermelons
in Transilvania and in Israel were better. Also; Bucovina watermelons did
not look like the ones in the photograph. They were uniformly green and
quite round.
As I remember it, the best fruit in the Bucovina were the apricots and the
cherries, the wild strawberries and the " Ribisl".
The walnuts, mushrooms Smetana and cream-yellow butter wrapped in a rhubarb
leaf were "Taam Gan Eden".
