Almonds, pistachios, pecans and cranberries are commonly imported from the US. In most European countries you can find alternatives. (i.postimg.cc)

To put "(future EU member)" on Canada but nothing on Turkey, who despite negotiations currently being frozen still are a member of both the EUCU and the CoE, is definitely a choice. I'm not a fan of Erdogan and personally do not think that Turkey, nor Canada for that matter, should ever become EU members. However, given the point of the group does it seem pointless to make political statements that are completely off topic. Turkey is closer, not just geographically, to the EU than what Canada is; whether we like it or not.

It is all about the Armenian genocide

I doubt the European Georgia is the one producing pecans. I can only speak for the state of Georgia, but pecans are a huge industry there. So I'd be willing to bet product of georgia = USA

Yes, Mexico and South Africa are the two biggest growers of pecans after the US. Georgia isn't even on the list.

Czech Republic has also quite a big production of almonds.

Irish cranberries are also a thing. They were pretty popular in the 90's.

Wait have I missed something when has Canada becoming an EU member? Or is this a meme I'm not aware of ๐Ÿ˜ž?
