I like the way they're calling them "Limited Selection" and charging £2.99 a kilo

I think we get very used to our 'non perfect 'veg in grow your own. It's the getting the dodgy bits off to make things edible and checking for live things that takes the time.Sometimes not noticed till they float to the top of the pan( caterpillars) and unfortunately occasionally by the kids on their plates!

I do,have been known to cover black fly on sprouts with lots of gravy...no chance of being veggie in our house!

Anyone who has grown fruit or vegetables for more than a season will now that 'wonky', blemished produce is the norm.

It may be misshapen but its natural and its what Mother Nature intended.

I, as anyone of us, can go into a supermarket and see row upon row of regimented 'perfect' shaped fruit and vegetables. How have they done this? Either they've thrown away 90%! or Mother Nature has been 'manipulated' ...

The last time I bought some supermarket apples (more fool me) we only had one and threw the rest out. The blackbirds wouldn't touch them! which hardly inspires confidence.

If I refused to eat my ugly, deformed, strangely coloured home grown I just wouldn't eat! People come in all shapes, colours, and temprements so my motto is 'Accept All Refuse None'

There also seems to be confusion in the media about strangely shaped veg and manky produce. The first is fine and doesn't mean the second. However if it's off then it's not good for eating regardless of its appearance.

Quite right too. Scandalous to waste perfectly good food when so many in this country are struggling and so many in the world are starving.
And it is 'perfectly good food'. It cooks the same, tastes the same and the nutrient content is the same.
