My sweet potato, coconut and chickpea curry turned out a lot muddier than I'd envisaged thanks to Trump's trade war with the world.
My decision to boycott US goods as an anti-Trump protest is a largely performative affair, as I don't generally buy anything imported from there, tariffs or not. However, today I got to flex my economic muscles when I realised that the sweet potatoes at my local shop were from USA! Next to them were Brazilian ⬇️

Bookwomble ... purple sweet potatoes: 3x the price 😳, but given that fascist Bolsonaro was ousted by the Brazilian electorate in favour of left wing Lula, I was able to safely buy Marxist ingredients!
Socialist Vegetables of the World Unite! 🚩🍠🚩 Taking down Trump one sweet potato at a time ✊😂

CBee And now you MUST start a group called “Socialist Vegetables of the World.” I‘d join! I‘m sure you know most American Littens are anti-Dump (I call him this plus the insane Cheeto), so your act of protest is much appreciated ✊🏻 3mo
Bookwomble @Karisa Thank you 🙏 It was very tasty, if I say so myself ☺️ 3mo
Bookwomble @jhod 💖 3mo
Bookwomble @CBee It's no surprise to me that a community devoted to reading is anti the book-banning bargain-basement Marmalade Mussolini 😊 3mo
Chrissyreadit @CBee I totally want to join Socialist Vegetables of the World and 100% am glad our Canadian friends are boycotting the products here. 3mo
Bookwomble @Chrissyreadit You are certainly welcome to attend the inauguration for Socialist Vegetables of the World, however you and any interested Canadians will have to make it across to Britain, as I'm holding the ceremony in my back garden 😄🇬🇧 3mo
Chrissyreadit @Bookwomble HA! so glad you are also boycotting - I completely mistook your country- I‘m getting used to cheering on the Canadians and need to expand my cheering to across the pond 🎉😘 3mo
Bookwomble @Chrissyreadit Sadly, many of our politicians and much of the press are still sucking up to Trump, but I think the contempt he and JDV show every other country, vocally including Britain, is starting to make all but the most die-hard conservatives begin to see that MAGA ideology recognises no friends. It's good to know that there is an American resistance 😊 3mo
kspenmoll @Bookwomble 😂😂😂 3mo
CBee @Bookwomble okay, you win. That‘s the best name ever 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 3mo
CBee @Chrissyreadit me too! Now to figure out what socialist vegetable I would be 🤔 😂 3mo
CarolynM Good for you, I feel similarly about checking the origins of my purchases at the moment (I‘ve been buying some extra Canadian maple syrup & Danish cheese for a while). Keep the Red (Vegetable) Flag flying! 3mo
Bookwomble @CBee I can't take credit; I came across the Marmalade Mussolini label in the Socialist Standard magazine 😄 3mo
Bookwomble @CarolynM @cbee @Chrissyreadit If we're picking socialist vegetable mascots, then I'd be a cabbage for sure! A Red Cabbage, naturally 😄 3mo
Chrissyreadit 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 3mo
