      The quality of potatoes feel like it’s dropped quite a bit this year.

      On top of that, corn’s been pretty expensive lately too due to the US redirecting so much of it into biofuel.

      On the other hand, mushrooms, vegetables, and fruits have been reasonably cheap, though a lot of the fruit haven’t tasted very good.

          Where do you even get those? I can never find them in Montreal.

          Years ago they had some at NoFrills in Toronto, but when I brought one home, it was just another seedless shit. I’ve complained the next day and asked them to open one up in front of me from the seeded bin and sure enough it was seedless as well.
