Re: Fruit & Veg
It`s the triumph of economics over sense--many folk would not pay for quality and so good greengrocers went out of business. I could argue the same about fishmongers.Re: Fruit & Veg
Must agree in part. I never eat a tomato from the time the local ones disappear from the market until they're back; although the cherry tomatoes are passable in a salad. I remember as a child you would buy pears at the market and eat one at lunch ... it was ripe. Now as you say, they sit on the windowsill for a week and have started to rot from the inside. Same for peaches ... hard as a stone in the market. I do shop at Whole Foods which is an organic market; true it is pricy but better quality than the bigger chains, and as I'm only buying for one I can afford the luxury. Many can't.Re: Fruit & Veg

Re: Fruit & Veg
You can search for all the links you want but fresh fruit and veggies are SEASONAL,. . you're missing the point of the thread, . . farmers do not have a magic source of fresh produce at this time of year.
