I can remember when I was first married that there were few fresh veg available in the shops during February and March anyway, though then there wasn't much  frozen available either, other than peas. You can rarely find frozen peas here...haricot verts by the tonne though. I'd agree about the brocolli and cauli and I don't find brussel sprouts very good either. I like frozen rasberries and it's the only way I can buy blueberries, strawberries don't work though.Buying as seasonally as possible does make  you appreciate things better when then come into season. The central part  of my local market  is local producers only and  shrinks dramatically over the winter months.This week, there was the first Spanish asparagus in the outside part of the  market. We're not really that far from Spain or even Morocco and some of the bigger stall holders seem to buy much of their produce from there and have big turnovers so it's usually reasonably fresh. There were a few bunches of local as well but at 7E (why won't the euro sign come out on here?) too expensive yet.edited there to their!</blockquote>
