Seasonal food and vegetables in the fifties

I think bananas came from a land called Fyffes although, as I didn't much like them, I did not take much notice. Most vegetables were, I think, seasonal and we did not import symmetrically perfect beans from Kenya at odd times of year. Dates and figs cropped up every Christmas and usually remained uneaten. Broccoli was unheard of until the sixties when he made a Bond film. Lettuce was, I am sure, used mainly for the pet rabbits. We knew spuds, carrots, cabbage, peas and not a lot else. Tomatoes were grown by Mr. Martin next door.
