Anyone watch Hugh's war On Waste, feel strongly about what the supermarkets are doing. Defo worth a watch and if you feel the same then you can sign the petition https://wastenotuk.com/ Nothing wrong with a wonky carrot or parsnip etc
I hate waste and think individuals are as bad as supermarkets, people who are besoted with use and sell by dates drive me mad but I can't stand that Hugh lar-de-dar Dick Whittington so don't watch his pregram thanks
Whenever I see him on TV I can't help but look at his nostrils. Rather like Queen Loana drawn to the Mysterious Flame.
There's obviously nothing wrong with wonky veg and the supermarkets are largely responsible for these things being standardised over the years, but now they have been, it's very difficult to change them back. When Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall stops someone in the street and says 'would you buy this wonky carrot' everyone says yes, but in reality, when actually faced with the option of buying what they refer to as 'ugly veg', most don't actually buy them. That said, the supermarket guidelines on what constitutes 'ugly veg' were utterly ridiculous and should be radically reviewed immediately, it was heartbreaking seeing those parsnip farmers in the first show that had to shut down (and disgraceful that they were effectively threatened by Morrisons for appearing in the show).
The 2 corporate twerps from Morrisons at the end of the show did the company no good at all !! What Plonkers !
When you choose loose apples in a supermarket, which ones do you put in your placcy bag? The nearest six? The six roundest or least bruised ones? Or some other way of choosing?
But of course. In the Lester Piggott position a few tugs on their underarm hair drove em into a frenzy.
The standardisation of root vegetable shapology should be stopped forthwith and indeed, reversed purely for comedic reasons. No other argument needed. please log in to view this image please log in to view this image please log in to view this image The death of the carrot that looks like a knob. That is the real problem here. #ukipgetyourprioritiesright
Steady on, Ern, or you'll be in this territory: "A woman for duty / A boy for pleasure / But a melon for ecstasy."

GTF. Melon my arse. That is, cucumber isn't a melon, that's just crazy talk. I thought it was a herb in any case? Or was that the banana? I hate straight veg, give me bent ones every time.
