I see.  I forget sometimes how very lucky we are to be here.  It can
actually be quite hard to figure out seasonal cooking where I live, as
you can buy pretty much anything at anytime. If you really want peaches
or blueberries in the middle of winter, you can have 'em, fresh and
glorious. Just more expensive, especially for stone fruit.  But often,
just as cheap...
Canberra imports most of its food from around the country or overseas,
and if it is out of season in Australia, it just comes in from another
country.
