This is interesting, Paul Hudson is our local BBC weatherman and he has retweeted this and thinks its rather odd…What do you think?
its a strange one this , not sure who to believe now ,
in the mean time Therese Coffey says we should eat Turnip , I dont like Turnip
Environment Secretary Therese Coffey has suggested turnips could be a suitable alternative while other vegetables remain in short supply.
Some supermarkets have limited sales of cucumbers and tomatoes, following shortages partly caused by extreme weather in Spain and north Africa.
Ms Coffey told MPs British consumers should “cherish” home-grown produce.
But she added that people wanted “a year-round choice” and supermarkets were trying to meet that demand.
Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey accused the minister of a “let them eat turnips” strategy - a reference to 18th Century French queen Marie Antionette, who supposedly responded to a bread shortage by saying “let them eat cake”.

she is one turnip short of a roast
There’s no extreme weather reason for our fresh veg shortages. It’s just a lack of a decent government.

Most of the Lettuce on my Big Mac today ended upon the floor, and the dog ignored it. 
what is really nice and a recent discovery is the yumminess of grilled lettuce. I had it at a gatro pub and thought wow why have I never tried this before!
Uh!..

I bet Therese Coffey wished that drunken pic had never been taken! - even though it was over 7 years ago, it still gets resurrected by her critics whenever they want to have a dig at her.
How embarrassing!

I’m pretty sure she was making reference to seasonal vegetables and eating those instead of year round produce.
Not a bad idea actually and would help local farmers

Looking at Tesco for an online delivery the only tomatoes they have are ones I don’t like and I don’t fancy turnips on my salad !
Lots of empty shelves in the EU.
Went today. Barely any tomatoes. No pick your own salad. And deffo no turnips. Plenty of eggs though.
Why should we worry, I consider tomatoes as a luxury rather than part of my staple diet…
Salads are rubbish anyway…Not half as filling as a Pork Pie…
Agree Foxy, Melton Mowbray is as productive as ever (What Brexit
