Not that I mind the testosterone ... actually it's quite life-giving...but the Ontario Food Terminal is far more than a bunch of guys selling produce. It's the largest fresh produce distribution centre in Canada. In 2009, the team there, led by a government appointed board and managed on a day to day basis by a mere 38 people, handled 960,958 TONS of fresh fruit and veggies. The OFT's cold storage facility @ 80,00 square feet is the largest on the continent.

When I first started scribbling (literally) about food in the early 1980s the only winter salads were ones made from cabbage and grated root veggies. We did warm potato salads studded with crisp bacon and stewed canned tomatoes with onion and a bit of sugar. But that was about it. I have nothing against cabbage or coleslaw but I do love my greens.
