Bottoms up

Remember the days when vegetables and fruit came in all shapes and sizes? And you just ate them regardless. And every now and again you would giggle over some weirdly shaped parsnip that looked like... well you know what I mean. And Cyril Fletcher would round up the best specimens on That's Life on a Saturday evening and we would marvel at the comedy in nature. How innocent it all was.

Of course that was before supermarket diktat said that fruit and vegetables had to be a certain size and shape and symmetry to make it onto their shelves. And tons of misshapen food went to waste. Now asymmetry is making a come back and supermarkets are trumpeting their economic credentials with their imperfectly tasty ranges. And not before time.

The blip is of my very own, home grown, conjoined tomatoes. Scrumptious.
