A few years ago I was looking for leeks at Publix. (I had potato-leek
soup in mind.) They usually have a really nice selection of fresh
veggies. The young man restocking the fresh vegetables had no idea what
leeks were. In a perfect world he'd have known. Alas, it's not a
perfect world. The guy checked with the produce manager who confirmed,
nope, no leeks.

I finished my shopping there and then went to Food Lion. They had some
nice beautiful leeks. And yes, I made the soup.
