    Well my veg always has blemishes and is not always pretty but tastes far and above anything from supermarket's. My MiL will only buy organically grown veg because she says she can taste the chemicals in mass produced.

      I don't buy veg very often but if I do I chose the stuff that looks fresh and tasty which is not the supposedly perfect stuff that is grown for uniformity and transport.

      Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

      Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

        I've read about "Ugly" "Wonky" veg being offered for sale so often - as if its something original. Why don't the shoppers and supermarkets accept that ugly veg is really rather beautiful and the norm. I'm a placard waving Ugly Veg supporter - and proud of it

            Veg is veg really. Doesn't matter what it looks like as it all cooks the same. Wouldn't buy it if it was bruised or bashed as it probably wouldn't keep well.
            Until the big supermarkets took over and we all shopped at local shops I don't think people were bothered what their fruit or veg looked like.

              Anyone who has grown their own fruit and vegetables will know that Nature is rarely uniform.
              In terms of shape, fruit and veg do turn out 'wonky', for want of a better word, and with (harmless) blemishes and imperfections.

              You go to any supermarket and you'll find rows and rows of fruit and vegetables uniform in size and shape, and blemish free.
              To achieve that result, either monumental amounts of perfectly good food has been wasted or some genetic tinkering has been going on.

              And whilst our little insect friends may not always be appreciated on here, if fruit and vegetables have suffered a bit of 'nibbling', it is a comforting reassurance that the grower has not gone thermo-nuclear with the Roundup.

              So give me the wonky, nibbled fruit and veg any day. I know it's wholesome, healthy and what Nature intended
              Pain is still pain, suffering is still suffering, regardless of whoever, or whatever, is the victim.
              Everything is worthy of kindness.
