We now get an immense variety of it, fresh stuff from all over the world. And it's better quality, more nutritious, non-rotten and nearly germ and parasite-free, fortified with vitamins and minerals, available all year fresh and frozen, and it's dirt cheap. 200 years ago I would have been living on mouldy potatoes and the occasional scrap of fish or mutton. Now I can have anything I want, any time I want it. If I do want potatoes (which I do) I can buy about a thousand pounds of them for an hour's work. John
