Why is it so bloody impossible to get a sweet-tasting pepper or tomato in this country? We just came back from Italy where peppers are 1 euro 39 a kilo. They may not look as pretty as the leathery and tasteless Dutch ones we are forced to endure in the UK, but they taste divine.
I can't imagine that Holland is an obvious pepper-growing country, so why do so many of the supermarkets rely on that horrible rubbish?
I cannot believe that everyone prefers pretty plastic-looking fruit and veg to stuff that actually tastes of what it's meant to taste of?
We get a veg and fruit box from Riverford, which is lovely, but just occasionally I need to buy other veg from the supermarket.
There were Italian peppers in the supermarkets in Naples last week, so I can only imagine that they are still in season there (it was 28c in the daytime in the first week in November), so can't believe that it is a supply problem either.
Opinions?
