NGL, if they showed up out front, pulled some young asparagus out and grilled it up almondene, I'd buy it rn.
I also didn't eat breakfast this am, so i might be biased.

How should they serve that, out of curiosity? Skewered like a kebab? Rolled up in waxed paper?
FWIW in this case it seems likely they would have just peeled open a room-temp tin and stuck a spoon in it or something ðŸ˜

Exact same thought. There's some places where this food truck would do pretty well

I've wondered more than once if a roving farmstand truck would work.

Like fresh vegetables? That's interesting. They'd probably have to be ones that people are usually down to just eat raw

There are places that have done delivery frozen and delivery meats over the years, but what if you just filled up a truck around tomato or jalaeno harvest and hawked it driving through thriving high density communities.
There's a local farm near me that imports all the other local farms stuff and sells it in a small grocery store.

There's plenty of uncivilized places in the world where fruit and vegetable stands set up shop daily where God intended there to be a 2013 Honda Odyssey parked forever.

Yeah. The closest I think Larson ever got to "I hate my wife" was the gorilla telling her husband, "Another human hair? You've been hanging out with that Jane Goodall tramp again!"

In Germany, this could be a success

This would probably make asparagus more appealing to kids, since they get to learn cool new words too

I started eating asparagus more as a kid when l learned it made your pee smell weird. I especially liked any leftovers the next morning before school.

I'd also like to take this moment to say, if someone figured out how to make taco truck work like icecream trucks, drive around selling tacos in random neighborhoods, i think they'd be wildly popular too
