Yeah, the price was indeed ridiculous; a watermelon that size would set
me back maybe $1 (here). Some olive oil, a couple of spoons of dried
spices and a few sprigs of rosemary are not worth $74, imho. Even taking
into account the 'process' they use.

They're not catering for vegans/vegetarians - they're just ripping people
off.
