<Tell MQ that this is the way to make money: "serving up what i used to eat, but at 3x the price">

ElM, you don't need to tell me that. For years I have had that on my "to do" list. Specific foods that spring to mind are:

eggs
nectarines
fish
walnuts
tomatoes [potentate variety as grown by my uncle Harry decades ago, with high potassium treatment].
apples

The quality of food these days is abysmal.

However, I am making so much money from selling cyberspace that my "to do" list will have to wait. Plus I'm too busy ranting here.

PS: I have found a good supplier of walnuts and they are over three times the price of the rancid, oxidized, unpleasant substance they sell at supermarkets which they call "walnuts". They are very delicious. Brazil nuts are also tough to find in good quality. Occasionally I can find them. One would think that Brazil could produce good quality Brazil nuts. I will buy a lot. I would buy good quality bananas too, which aren't harvested about a month too soon.

I'd eat thousands of them, as I used to do, before they discovered "modern" ways of forcing them to mature. Now, they are pathetic, waxy, tasteless things which are not worth eating. Occasionally they mistakenly get some which are okay. Very rare.
