I've been trying. Had to give up cos I couldn't spare the time for the garden (full time work + study, not happening). I did get a decent store of potatoes earlier in the year, and fortunately I'm not trying to feed myself totally, just grow a bit. I certainly wouldn't claim it's easy though.
I've had people swear to me that both parsnips and swedes are better after frost. I'd have tested this out myself if my parsnips hadn't been dug up by cats :-(
My point wasn't that the gap doesn't exist, more that some of the more traditional things to eat around this time are no longer eaten, because we import more food and store more food.
