Normally, I write about European eels. But the medieval English ate and traded conger eels too!
In 1470, a picard (a small ship) took a load of beans from Bridgewater, in Somerset, to Wexford, Ireland. The ship came back with a hold full of salmon, herring, & congers.

This is an important investigation and the context I’d add as a sociologist is how hard-to-use these programs already are for many—from years-long waiting lines for section 8 or housing, to lack of landlords willing to rent to Section 8 households, and ongoing loss of public housing units

A lot of people assume that Amsterdam has been biketopia since time immemorial but it actually was car hell for decades before the citizens became fed up with car fatalities and forced the government to rebuild everything around mass transit and bikes. It took time and will, but they did it.
