I've heard this several times lately.  It seems that people would
*really* appreciate this.  Is there any reason why it hasn't been
organised in the past?  I can imagine that refrigeration might be
difficult for merchants, so that's definitely an issue for those who
might sell meat or dairy products, but it shouldn't limit most other
types of food being sold.

I'd like to be able to buy bread, dry goods (grains and flour and so
on), spices, vegetables, meat (up to and including whole carcasses of
various animals, and charcuterie), dairy, baked goods such as pies and
pastries, comfits and sweetmeats, wines... oh hell, *everything*.  But
I'd settle for bread, basic dairy, vegetables and preserved meats.

Yours,

Katherine
