• Stuff I grow on the allotment without the industrial benefit(?) of chemical inputs / artifical light / controlled temps tends to be smaller but tastier than owt from the supermarket. Ditto for the organic veg box from a local market gardener.

    Yes, however these were your ordinary everyday bag of industrial British carrots, which we’ve very often bought before, and from the size and heft of them they could be used to fend off a mugger. It was just odd that nearly all of the produce aisle was noticeably smaller produce.

  • Pire speculation here from me: It might be the case that there's less chemical input available due to brexit = smaller produce from the industrial scale growers.
