“Grocery stores are true marvels of markets. Roast chickens don’t fly into your mouth, but they are roasting on a rotating spit in the deli section. Typical grocery stores carry thousands of items that make the land of Cockaigne look meagre. The centuries old myth and poem about Cockaigne depicts a mythical place that far exceeds the sweet joys of paradise.” (07/23/25)
