A good laugh here from my friend @LorenzLuthi, which reminds me of an episode from my youth. ππΏ

Once, a ship from socialist Vietnam docked in my hometown in Sakhalin, bringing tons of bananas! For whatever reason, these bananas could not clear customs, so they did not actually appear on the empty shelves. They started going bad, and were dumped in boxes right in the port.
The port was a high-security facility but unbeknownst to the authorities there was a hole in the fence. So along with other kids I went on a banana-hunting expedition. We scoured through rotting boxes, making away with whole sacks of slimy but still perfectly eatable bananas.
That was the first time I ever had bananas. But, yes, @LorenzLuthi, I never knew of kiwis.
