Wonky veg

The only time I won't buy wonky is if they look impossible to peel or cut up - but since I prefer leaving the skin on most things if possible - I am happy - even more so if they are sold cheaper than the "uniform" variety! 

Wonky veg - nothing to do with food? what have I been eating all these years!

Asda have started selling boxes of wonky veg, they are selling really well apparently. 

Perhaps that's because they have relised that people these days like a bargain, and as they are now selling then a good bit cheaper than the "perfect" ones customers will buy them.

Thankfully attitudes seem to be changing, I read that Lidl and Aldi are on the offensive in 'Middle England' now!

I grow my own; wonky with taste.

So we all end up buying 'wonky veg', what happens to the straight ones, will they be ploughed back into the land?

Nah, they get turned into Tesco Croissants.

Having worked in the Food industry for over 40 years and have dealt with all the major supermarket chains throughout the Uk at Head Office level, I blame the Food Technologists that visit Production Units and are very forceful in demanding their requirements, fall in line or you will no longer be a supplier to our Business is their normal tack, if you don't there is another Supplier out there who wants your business, there is no loyalty despite what you here or see on the TV, believe me, I know

..and who is pulling the strings of those food technologists? The directive will come from above, my son has been one of those you mention and he had very strict targets and was given 'missions' to achieve whilst in so called business discussions!  One reason he got out was because of the unfair pressure from above placed on both him and the 'grass roots' producers.
