The European Commission says it wants to loosen the rules that prevent knobbly fruit and vegetables being sold alongside more shapely examples. |

I often wonder how they can be so picky about something like that, especially when you think that there are parts of the world where people are starving and wouldn't care about if the food was an unusual shape as long as they could get it. |

Cooking instructions sound like a good idea.I'm sure a lot of veg is overlooked because people do not know what to do with it. |

Now,who wouldn't know that? We have probably done more for the sales of salsify in the last ten minutes than all the advertizing that has ever been done for it before. |

I'm sure somebody must have tried it.They wouldn't keep growing it if nobody tried it. |

I love farm shops and farmers markets cos you do get differences in 'real' food. |
