Shame on me for knowing only around half - this year's campaign to live better definitely includes eating food which has travelled less / costs less...

In my defence on the duck and sea bass, I have only been buying these for the last few years, and most of that time I have been buying frozen meat.

I am also struck that with the sole exception of asparagus, all those I knew, I have grown. Simply seeing the label change from 'uk' to 'spain' on the supermarket shelf obviously does not register with me.

Asparagus I knew because I was in Germany during Asparagus time three years ago.

I think it is perfectly normal not to know when such things as fish and duck are in season, although kudos to those who do know, especially if it is actually relevant to their lives/shopping habits.

I wouldn't know about the fish, since I don't ever ever eat sea bass (okay I did once in a restaurant, someone else said "try a bit", but other than that, not), and don't like most fish, and not too much even of the fish I do like ;) I also only buy duck about once a year.
