Fruit on my porridge this morning

Neat Alpen for me, I try to keep Brekkie none Bourgeois. :icon_wink:

I got all the fruit and salad and veg we needed for our weekly shop in Tesco yesterday. Only shortage was tomatoes but they donā€™t have much flavour this time of year anyway. Aldi was the same, No shortages at all.

A good article Boot and thanks.
Thatā€™s about it in a nutshell, but donā€™t all kinds of supply work in this way?
We are suffering high prices for energy and petrol/diesel at the moment, but Farage on GB News a few weeks back mentioned that tankers containing imported diesel were being deliberately anchored off shore to restrict the flow and hike up the prices.
We only received 3% of our gas supplies from Russia, but now the shortage is blamed on the war in Ukraineā€¦Well somebody has to pay for all the help we are sending thereā€¦Could it be the extra revenue we are paying on energy?
In the early days of the EU we had butter mountains going waste, and now they pay farmers not to grow things.
And all the trouble in the Netherlands has got to be one major reason for fresh fruit and veg shortagesā€¦And the seizure of farming land makes this all manufactured by the governments or the WEF with their Agenda 30ā€¦ Beware the eides of March!
Well alright, itā€™s not the eides yet, but its closeā€¦15th I thinkā€¦

Dutch Farmers
.

Its not just Bill gates though is it butterscotchā€¦He is only one piece of a global jigsaw puzzle laid out by the WEFā€¦How many other members of the WEF have also purchased farmland?
Obviously they are not going to admit to their cunning planā€¦

This is interesting, Paul Hudson is our local BBC weatherman and he has retweeted this and thinks its rather oddā€¦What do you think?

Weather

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 ā€œcherishā€ home-grown produce.

But she added that people wanted ā€œa year-round choiceā€ and supermarkets were trying to meet that demand.

Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey accused the minister of a ā€œlet them eat turnipsā€ strategy - a reference to 18th Century French queen Marie Antionette, who supposedly responded to a bread shortage by saying ā€œlet them eat cakeā€.

she is one turnip short of a roast

Thereā€™s no extreme weather reason for our fresh veg shortages. Itā€™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. :laughing:

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!

Iā€™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
