Congratulations to Paul Krugman on winning this year's Nobel Prize in Economics.

In celebration, I thought I would post a short essay Krugman wrote about food in England.  He uses a little economic theory to try to explain why the food in England was so bad until recently:

For someone who remembers the old days, the food is the most

startling thing about modern England. English food used to be

deservedly famous for its awfulness--greasy fish and chips,

gelatinous pork pies, and dishwater coffee. Now it is not only easy

to do much better, but traditionally terrible English meals have even

become hard to find. What happened?

Here's the whole thing.
