Spotted and purchased at Detwilers Farm Market today Savoy Cabbage It's been edged off most supermarket shelves. Perhaps I'll roast some to eat with chicken, or maybe I'll make some "Healing Cabbage Soup". https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/82923/healing-cabbage-soup/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Buying Savoy cabbage caused me to remember an English delicacy  called Saveloy. It's a mostly regionally made and eaten sausage. I do not believe that our mother ever bought saveloy, and I know that I have never eaten it. .  Originally, it was made with pork brains, but nowadays it is prepared with a combination of  beef, pork,  spices, and rusk . People often compare its flavor with red pudding or frankfurters. Saveloy must be cooked  before serving, and it is  usually boiled, grilled, or fried in batter. For the best experience,  it is recommended to ...

Let us pause in life's pleasures and count its many tears While we all sup sorrow with the poor There's a song that will linger forever in our ears Oh Hard times come again no more Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered around my cabin door Oh hard times come again no more While we seek mirth and beauty and music bright and gay There are frail forms fainting at the door Though their voices are silent, their pleading looks will say Oh hard times come again no more Tis the song, the sigh of the weary Hard times, hard times, come again no more Many days you have lingered around my cabin door Oh hard times come again no more Tis a sigh that is wafted across the troubled wave Tis a wail that is heard upon the shore Tis a dirge that is murmured around the lowly grave Oh hard times come again no more https://youtu.be/RZgOKLFuDOU

All well and good, but where do you buy it? I've been to Whole Foods, Fresh Market, Earth Origins, Trader Joe's and Publix, but there's not been a sighting  of "Healthy" in any aisle: not in produce, meat, fish, deli, dairy, soups, pasta,  nor in canned vegetables and meats. I've had some odd looks when I've asked staff members: "Do you stock Healthy ?", or "Is Healthy animal, vegetable or mineral?" So I have given up.  Since I cannot find the food named Healthy I have chosen to eat foods which my Bariatric Doctor believes lead to a healthy and  well balanced diet.  I am trying to eat health ily  Hence my lunch today:  6oz lean pork loin; brocolli, white asparagus, and half a baked Acorn Squash , this latter out of view so that I could include a bit of dog in the photo'.

Has America Come To This?    NO  we have always been like this .   Please see the article below this picture. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Olvera Street is a Los Angeles icon—a thriving Mexican market filled with colorful souvenirs, restaurants and remnants of the oldest buildings in Los Angeles.
