…well almost!
Yesterday, the EU finally had the sense to scrap MOST of the utterly stupid and pointless regulations it decided we must live by regarding the size and shape of our fruit and veg.
I’m talking about rules like:
Class I cucumbers must “be reasonably well shaped and practically straight (maximum height of the arc: 10 mm per 10 cm of the length of cucumber)”. Class II “slightly crooked cucumbers may have a maximum height of the arc of 20 mm per 10 cm of length of the cucumber”.
Will they not taste as good or be less nutritious if they’re bent at a right angle? No!
More info can be found here.
Right, I’m off to eat a wonky homegrown carrot – just like I have been for years.
