Maybe you should check out the local supermarket -- we actually have olive oil and lemons on a regular basis here.

@ChipmunkErnie I know... it's the abundance though... Falling from the trees, relatives bringing you bags of lemons and bottles of oil.. when we cook and have no lemons, we usually take a walk at the neighbourhood and find some tree!

This isn't true for our few bigger cities though!

@SW-User Depends where you live in the US, I guess. Not sure how many olive trees are around, but my parents' house had a lemon tree in Florida.
