Please don't call it "Porto"... I'm a BENFICA guy so associate my name to Porto is a little bit offensive to me.
P.S.: for the distracted ones reading this please be aware that "Porto and Benfica" are the two major Portuguese football teams (Soccer for the Americans), being Porto the team from Oporto City and Benfica from Lisbon.... same as Real Madrid and Barcelona for Spain.
SLB...SLB...GLORIOSO SLB...GLORIOSO SLB
CARREGA BENFICA!
My Apology for offending all the Porto Rican and Portugese Fruit Fanatics of footbal persuasion, I am bad!😂 Miguel how about Miguel Blonde Europa Araca Boi! 👩❤️💋👩 When I think of Portugal the first thing that pop in my mind is Port Wine🍷🍾 and I thought Porto sound like a Neutral name for origin of the cultivar you have selected; I am glad you point out the correction or we end upon replacing tomatoes with Araca boi as hooliganis projectiles at these soccer matches over colorful disagreement. Yes in America we have our sport religion too and its just sacrereligious to unmentioned a few things but we used guns to settle the matters at tailgating parties.
This hiccup remind me of producing an earlier version line of Pakistani Low Latex Jack that is sold to the South Asian Market in New York and New Jersey about 25 years ago. I call up the Pakistani/bangladesh buyers told them I have the Pakistani Jack they ask me to grow and they buy mine by the containers. I call up the South Indian buyers and they try a container and call back its a hot seller. They ask me its so good what variety, so I said Pakistani; no reorder came. This was a time when you had conflicts between India vs Pakistan and the Civil war in Siri Lanka rage on seem endless or something like the fog of history I can not recall!
So I call up my College Buddy Dharma(who gave me the original business contacts) in New York by than a prominent International lawyer and his Wife Sohini a Goan Indian CFO of a Biotechnology company in New Jersey. They had a lot of death threats and of resistance from both Siri Lanka Tamil Tiger Side of the Family Versus Indian side when they got married here in America; being Native American I was the Neutral best man and told the wedding parties that the Old world problems stay behind in the old world. Dharma gave me free legal counsel for free; S. Asian Community in America has not integrated fully so they told me what we damm American is Good at; change the name! And Sohini his wife is some high Brahman caste chic and she counsel me to name it High Class consciousness.
The hardworking Jew in New York were Highly respected and often imitated by the S. Indians whom work for them and came to Associated Boca Raton as Were Rich Jews go to retired and President of the United States Come to Beg! Ok I call up the Indian Buyers and told them I got ten containers of Boca Snob jack better than what they sample ( same thing under new management--name change) and very popular with the Jewish Folks down here (I gave samples of it to all my Jewish friends and neighbors and they love it especially all the Rabbi and Lawyers, its 95% in my hood and I am the Token Redneck Choctaw Indian Mixed trail here) sold! I sold five containers to the S. Indian at triple the prices and I call up my Pakistani/Bangladash buyers and told them the Indian is buying this Jewish Jack grown in Boca Raton ( at one time this whole city of Boca Raton was the Largest Mangoes and Pineapple Plantation) and double the price for the Pakistani buyers Loyalty; they won a fixed five years forward contract. My Indian buyers what the market will bear!
All I can say is the Fruit War in New York/New Jersey between these two new immigrants over a name with their old world rivalries in America saved my ass, rather than a financial loss I keep buying land back that the White Man stole from us when Columbus arrived in the new world in Northern West Palm Beach or is it the Bahama or Dominica I forgot, please excuse this old fart!
Sohini is a genius for naming it Boca Snob Jack, back than the fruit was not as red orange thick crispier flesh and nor practically no latex as the several different line generations developed now grown in Boca Raton (actually West Palm) and several other counties in S. Florida.
I recall many years ago when I work for Morgan Stanley, I recalled people were demonstrating and boycotting french food, wine and demontrating at burger king, Mcdonald boycotting French Fries Everytime the French DeGaul-Mitterand stick their fingers Up our ass, the USA. Its stupidity, like Emanual Rahm; never miss an opportunity to profit on a crisis. I short the restaurant stocks and than write cover letters on my options and retired early from that stressful Walkstreet Money Management job after seven biblical years of trading horses.
So Yes Miguel no offending fruit name for this political correct site; now how will I profit, maybe I buy up all the port wine in Portugal! 🍷🍻🍾 Or buy arm stocks and Get The US To invade Portugal and seperate these warring soccer city states; nah I just watch you guys slug it out on ESPN over a bottle of Porto Vino!😜
