Getting back on seasonal eating is an effort in strange delusional anachronism. Ignore the tomatoes in aisle 3 please, they are not in season, and they taste like shit, just pretend they do not exist.
For thousands of years we have eaten seasonal foods with little or no difficulty. If I were born 100 years ago I could tell you when you would be able to eat any number of fruits, legumes, tubers, and meats, without a second thought. In modern times we live in ignorance of the pathways of agriculture. We also have the stupid habit of eating foods when they are out of season, an odd habit, as they taste hideous by comparison.
Onward, enough ranting...here are some seasonal veggies for january and february:
Brussels sprouts
Chicory
Grapefruit
Greens (cooking)
Leeks
Oranges
Parsnips
Pears
Shallots
Sweet Potatoes
Tangelos
Tangerines
Turnips
Winter Squash
