1860s Period Foods - Including Good Down Home Eatin'

[Dawn E Foster]

When I was doing merchandising for a large supermarket chain, many years ago, we did a study on whether a shopper's stated preferences for two pairs of items matched what they actually purchased.

The two pairs of items were dark vs. milk chocolate and iceberg vs. any other type of lettuce/salad green. This was to help our buyers, especially the newer ones, in determining how much stuff to order.

The results were interesting.

Interesting!

My "other" job is still grocery cashier - my first real job when I turned 17. (and I always buy dark chocolate and romaine or spinach)
