AOC: "I looked at this recipe and I needed basil, and I was going home and I get off the subway station and I go into the grocery store and there’s no basil, no fresh basil in the grocery store. So then I walked to another grocery store two blocks down, no fresh basil. I was very stubborn about making this recipe that evening, and I must’ve been — I must’ve walked around for an hour in our neighborhoods, visiting four or five grocery stores, and there was no basil, no fresh basil in any of them. And it just goes to show, it’s very — it’s very illustrative of the difficulties that we have in our communities in accessing fresh produce."

That hardscrabble lass really knows the struggles of the average Joe.

I’m in Upstate. None of our supermarkets have fresh basil. Grow your own. That’s what New Yorkers do when they want fresh.

Even where I live I cannot find fresh herbs.

Oh, the horror of this. This is so sad. No white person has ever had trouble finding fresh basil in the grocery store. This indignity is reserved for those of African-American descent!!

This week I was unable to find fresh dill to make my famous chicken soup for my dad.
Must be racism? I guess?

Did she try going to a garden department at a store? She could put a pot of basil on her windowsill. Or buy some grow lights to put over her pot and grow it indoors.
