The Last Word

"The 1966 film A Man for All Seasons is based on the life of Sir Thomas More, the 16th-century Lord Chancellor of England. At that time, in that place and throughout the civilized and uncivilized world, ordinary folk ate what they could find or forage as the seasons of the year followed one upon another. Only the very wealthy could summon forth exotic foods from distant lands."
