tomatoes

[bethypoos]

Ok - so here's my scenario. In my quest to be healthy i'm thinking about buying more organic foods and cooking more instead of ready meals. Then i'm also interested in local/seasonal produce. Anyway...this was my dilemma in sainsburys.

 

They had vine ripened (non-organic) tomatoes half price that looked nice for 89p. There were also some teeny organic cherry tomatoes at 99p. But when i read the label the non-organic were from worcestershire (a few miles down the road) and the organic were from the canary islands. So, i bought the local ones. What would you have done?

 

By the way - they were lovely!!!

What would I have done?

 

Probably just called the police.

I would have bought the local ones.

Definitely the local ones.  I am a big fan of buying local produce and I love our new 'Sainsbury's Local' for that reason.

You should grow your own.  But remember horse's doodoos are the best fertilizer.

Not everyone has that option.

True, my Grandad used to wait for the Dreyman's horses and scoop it up.

I meant the growing your own option, but I suppose horse sh*t isn't as common as it was!

I would have gone for the local ones, especially if they looked the nicest.

 

And half price too? Definitely the local ones .

I would have gone for the local non-organic ones too. Organic is not always everything it's cracked up to be. Plus I definitely prefer to eat food with less air miles than I have!

There's some up my back lane right now.

[smurfboy]

That's more than I needed to know.

That's a good one

This inspires me for a new thread.
