crumbling biscuits, I had no such
dismal hoards. So I was free to go
out looking for anything fit to eat
which might be on offer in the
shops where ration books and
coupons weren’t required. That
meant greengrocers, fishmongers,
and game and poultry dealers. Not
an extraordinary choice. It should
also be remembered that in those
days there were few exotic imports
such as now crowd the
greengrocery displays. Avocado
pears and southern vegetables
weren’t yet available in England.
Aubergines, peppers, courgettes
and fennel had hardly been heard
