Close but not the same...a sibling to FF, at best.

And, yeah, it should be promoted as something close, not the same.

It wouldn't surprise me though, that somewhere, FF still exists and is being grown, just as Grandpa's Best or something like that, because it's been grown by one family and saved all this time, but nobody knew what it was.
