This, it turned out, was not an easy task. Farmers in Southern California, it seems, can grow anything. Still, appetizers weren't hard: Marcona almonds from Spain that were so much softer, sweeter and nuttier than any I can get here; Greek olives; Brie from France; smoked salmon from Scotland.

Even for the organization that created 22 pages of specs for a "trap, mouse," and 16 pages for a "whistle, plastic," the recipe for "fruitcake, canned," represents a point, high...
