When I was kid (in the 80s, in Hungary), we ate according to the season. More vegetable in the spring, more fruits in the summer, vegetables, beans, fruits in the autumn and mostly meats and apples, (oranges, bananas - when they were on sale) in the winter.

Now you can buy everything every time, but even the meat is less tasty. Personally, I'd still rather buy food according to the season.
