I've never 'got'

It is cheaper to buy tomatoes and blend them than to buy pasata. Old student habits die hard.

Lucifer, mushrooms are horrible too.
And artichokes, leeks, asparagus, celery, turnip, parsnip, sweet potato, cucumber, marrow, courgette, gherkin, swedes, okra, baby sweetcorn, most beans, rhubarb, oranges, all berries, currants, grapes, sultanas, raisins, dates, apricots, and yorkshire pudding.
All absolutely foul. Apart from strawberries. I just can't stand the texture of those, but the flavour is nice.

Let me guess, you ain't no vegan?
