Anyway, the customer is always right!

Annie, I put the broccoli in one of the small plastic bags and as l walk away, l hold the broccoli against the edge of the trolley or handle and break its neck! Then, l subtlety, toss the stem back into the box. There’s always loads of stems in there, so l’m not the only one!
Make sure you choose a broccoli that’s not got a very fat stem.

Heat gently then simmer until the leeks and celery are cooked.Blend if you wish put I like to keep the veggies whole.

It's the Welsh. They're carrying them around in their top pockets to celebrate St. David's day.
