To think that veg that has 'gone a bit soft' is the POINT of stews?

We are properly skint at the moment so though the children are getting their 5 a day served to them even if they don't always eat it we are upkeeping the age-old British tradition of making a stew/roast and involving as many veggies as we can. DH is making the stew today and has refused to add a handful of cherry tomatoes that 'are a little bit soft' and one or two of which the skin has separated a bit. I think this is absurd! They are fine to go in a stew if not go in a salad. He is now complaining about a couple of courgettes I found in the fridge, probably a week old because they too are 'a bit soft'

Surely all of this adds to our veg for the day and should be used up!

I thought the point of stews was to use up all those bits n pieces you had lying around? If we were having a roast I would have cut it all up and roasted it too!

Please tell me he is BU and I am right!

Anyway, I technically didn't ask if I was being unreasonable, I asked if he was Grin
