don't worry if we end up with the same trade deals as canada,
we'll be importing most of our food too.

Have you ever tried to do one of those "eat local" food and veg boxes? Most food here is imported.

Anyway, I miss the produce sections of grocery stores in Canada. And obviously you can get amazing food in the UK (well, London). It's much more expensive though.

expensive yes,
i did eat well in canada (was 22 years ago), but it was all home produce veg from an italian family (orginally from calabria) in sault st marie, ontario... even grew their own garlic, not sure where the meat came from though.

it reminded me of my own family in puglia, where my uncles side of family shared their produce, from wine, tomatoes, lemons, all with modest farms and no doubt imported seasonal labour

the only food we ever shared in London was apples from our tree, heavy cropper produced +200 each autumn.
