You might not remember them but there used to be greengrocers - you might still find a stall at a local market.

I've never seen anyone selling skirret, rampion, asparagus peas, medlars, quince, mulberries and so on. Plenty of unusual things at the Asian supermarkets but there its hard to find out their English names!

But Mark, how many local greengrocers have you seen that stock the likes of achocha, ugli fruit, durian, mangosteen or even that thing veggie wanted a plant of.

Are wisitors really wise callers? We don't get those around here.
