Fruit and veg shortage

I know, Husky. But the story is getting a lot of serious (undeserved) coverage at the moment.

I'm with you huskydog , they are the devil's food .If I never see one again ,it will be too soon .😁

There's always a shortage of Sprouts in our house.

The last time they were brought into the house (in error) I used them in catapults to fire at the Squirrels to keep them away from the bird food. The cheeky blighters threw them back.

...........and preferably on your own too.......... 

The reason that the supermarkets are rationing certain vegetables is because many commercial companies (  Resturants and Corner shops to name but two)   instead of going through their wholesaler were buying in bulk from the Supermarkets and then selling the stuff on. 

Supermarkets have put a stop to this by rationing, which favours their own  customers.  And quite right too.

Does anyone remember the shortages of basic food stuff, eg, sugar, coffee, etc, back in the 70s?  People were only allowed a 2lb bag of sugar, and you had to be a regular at that particular supermarket, no shopping around to get more; also the prices went up, but funnily enough, when the "shortages" were over, the prices never came down.  Personally, even though I was only a teenager back then and I helped my dad with the shopping each week, I knew then it was just a scam.  Seems to me its making a come back again

No  scams  in  my  towns  shops  , Tombar  !  ( I asked    )

What  do  they look & taste  like  !

And  how  do  you  cook  them  ??

No shortage of veg today in Asda, loads of tomatoes, lettuce and broccoli, which is a good thing as I'm trying to lose weight 

We've had a 2 pound bag of sugar in our cupboard for at least 10 years.

It's running a bit low.........has the rationing ended yet? 

Yes Ian, and you can take your black out curtains down
