An offer you can't refuse . . .
« on: 03 February 2017, 10:16:12 »

There seems to be a vegetable shortage. In public this is being blamed on the weather in Spain, the reality is that Greggs overordered it's normal supply of lettuce.

However, in my usual public spirited manner I am happy to exchange my rations of lettuce for portions of triple fried chips. Sausage rolls will also be considered but only good quality jumbo size !

I agree. Fruit and vegetables in the North of the country will never catch on. ::)


.......and a deep fried Mars bar does not count as one of your five-a-day. :)

I do normally for anything that goes wrong however having seen the snows and then floods at first hand here in Spain, I can vouch for the authenticity of the story.

Who eats lettuce in the middle of winter anyway  :-\

Hardly comfort food, which I reckon most people eat in the winter time  :)

I come home in the evening, wanting a nice steak pie or roast dinner or some meat grilled at this time of year....never want a ham salad!...that's summertime food!

Yes a couple of weeks ago it was being described as the courgette crisis :o now it's moved on to other veg type stuff.Supermarkets are rationing the amounts people can buy of broccoli and such.

I do eat veg, obviously, but I can't remember the last time I had courgette and I don't think I've ever had aubergine.
