In Poland May is the first month when stuff begins to grow for good - and it is a month of asparagus, followed by strawberries in June, cherries and kurka mushrooms in July and August, and then forest mushrooms especially boletus in early autumn.

What are the foodstuffs that are available seasonally where you live?

There's very few foods that are stocked seasonally in supermarkets, or at least I don't notice them.  There are a couple of exceptions though.  We're at the end of the rhubarb season and it's the start of the asparagus season (:w00t:)

There's a succession of stuff in Austria, e.g. Burlap, Asparagus (now), Chanterelles, pumpkin, chestnuts,  Sturm, . . . and more.

seriously though:

we had different types of cabbage and radicchio during winter
in late march the asparagus, a couple weeks ago strawberries and fresh salad, right now zucchini are ripe for eating,  in ten days cherries will be ready and in a couple to three weeks it will be time for peas, beans, artichokes. Then july will come and the triumph of aubergines, tomato, green beans, and peaches and apricots. august will be the time of figs and plums and grapes.

The advent and progression of spring means one thing here: crabs are on their way.

Japan is absolutely crazy for seasonal stuff. Books have been written on the subject. I think.

You don't get it, do you? All my threads have one overriding theme, whether they are discussing wine, seasonal vegetables, work hours or politics. :P

I know. He is my hero. Being rich and hanging out with young boyfriends - that's ideal.

Anyway the theme to my threads is: I'm sophisticated and better than you. :P

Meh, you live in Poland.  "Sophisticated and better" just means you're the only one in your village with a color TV and indoor plumbing.
