Fruit and veg shortage

I invariably buy the frozen ones, there's no shortage of those. 2 big bags of mixed Veg in the freezer. Out of the bag into boiling water-jobs a gud un.

Wouldn't mind so much, but exactly how many people each spinach? We can grow lettuces in the winter over here, and we have the most temperate climate in the world, never too cold and never too hot.  We can grow most veg over here, but we were stopped farming by the EU, hence Maggie Thatcher fighting for us to get a "rebate".  There's land a plenty for growing in this country, but that would probably depend on where the Councils are going to grow the extra houses that's needed

Lots of lovely seasonal vegetables on our farmers market today.☺

Long live the shortage of vegetables!

With a bit of luck I will now get more Bangers and Mash, Pizzas, omelettes, pies and other tasty morsels.

Me too, love them

Did I miss something?  Rationing?  Is this recent?

OH was shopping on Tuesday, she never mentioned any shortages.

Our village veg shop had plenty of local and U.K. Seasonal greens, sprouts, cauliflower and root veg and even some very nice ( if dearer than normal) broccoli.

 You are out of luck there husky - most sprouts come from Lincolnshire not Brussells .  Long live seasonal British Veg. 

This is a 'non-story'.

It was on Jeremy Vine today and it was quite embarrassing.

First he interviewed a fruit & veg wholesaler, who said that there wasn't any shortage.

Then he interviewed a fruit &veg shop owner, who said that there wasn't any shortage.

He had a 'roving reporter' reporting from a supermarket......who said that the supermarket was piled high with every sort of veg.

It seems that some of the supermarkets are not prepared to pay a temporarily higher price (due to bad weather in a few parts of Europe) and therefore some are temporarily short on stock of a limited few veg types.

Nothing to see here folks......move along.......

Sorry Ian , just posted the OP as a bit of fun
