Vince Green Posted May 7, 2021 Report Share Posted May 7, 2021 people used to buy their fresh fruit and veg daily from the local green grocer (when in season) and cook it that night. Now we do a weekly shop and expect it to last till the next week. We buy strawberries in February that have probably come from the other side of the world or have been grown under artificial lights in heated polytunnels and have no flavour. Pineapples from Costa Rica all year round and Aubergines from Asia etc Round London there are shops (Veenas is one) that proudly declare they source all their vegetables and fruit from India www.veenas.com I like Lidl's approach of selling mainly British produce but you can't expect it to have much of a shelf life. On the other hand its very cheap and it hasn't spent twelve hours in the air coming from India. support British Farmers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
