    Now if I ended up with flowres in a veg box I'd be a little cross. Maybe I'm just miserable but if I ordered food I would want food!

    Happy Birthday Simba, hope you enjoy your day.
    Math - perhaps in your case it might be better to throw in the trolley at Tesco and say 'suprise me'.... at least then you might not get stuck at the coffee morning checkout :D

    If you don't have something nice to say don't bother saying anything at all.

    Is it usual to get flowers in a veg box :confused: . I have to say I'm with both MATH and angelatgraceland with this. I want the veg I like and know I plan meals round, and I also want food not flowers. Though I think I'd slightly prefer daffs to sprouts :eek: . I'm also a bit surprised that you don't get a typed up list of contents in the box cos we often get a 'what is this' thread.

    Having said all that I'm as curious as everyone to know what the items were and Happy Birthday to the OP:beer:

    Hello Alasdair,

    They're not like any vegetables I've ever seen. They look like daffodils. Ask the supplier for identification. If that is not possible, they should be put in a vase of water rather than eaten, because if they are daffodils, they are poisonous.

    Kind regards,

    Evelyn Wood.

    and happy birthday Simba
    Alasdair.
