    Was hoping Lidl would do the shallots again in their veg offers but doesn't seem so this year. I'm already planning how I'm going to use all this wonderful veg!
    They are doing shallots, it's on their website.

    Thats brilliant. Thanks for the heads up Lindsay!

  • Veggie war?   I'd like my sprouts uncombative, please.   :)
    My children fight about the sprouts, they absolutely will not eat them 
    I think sprouts have a bad press but I don't know anyone who really likes them.  
    I like sprouts.   The issue with them is that they are often badly cooked (over-cooked).  
    The issue with them is side effects. If they came without a bloat factor I probably would eat them, its just not worth being doubled over in agony over a foodstuff that wreaks revenge on me.

    So much to read, so little time.

    It sounds like you should definitely avoid the sprouts.   For me, though, it's all sprout, no bloat.   

    I must be one of the few people who is disappointed when sprouts leave the shops each year.   Although that's also because frozen sprouts are dire.

    Potatoes, broccoli, swede, parsnips, carrots, red cabbage,

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    I noticed the co-op has priced theirs at 50p.  That is probably the "correct" price for these vegetables.  I think M&S is 65p.

    Following Morrison's announcement for 10p veg, Lidl's will be 9p from tomorrow as per their website.
    Both Lidl and Aldi declared they would not be beaten on price with these items, so maybe Aldi will do the same.

    Are any of them actually going to pay me to take their veg away?
