| I know nothing about tomatoes, but I thought market stall holders bought their stock from Covent Garden Market at 3 a.m. Looking for more about this on Google, I found this interesting article about how supermarket tomatoes are grown. I agree supermarket buyers know less than nothing about what they're buying. I keep getting cherries from Turkey labelled Napoleon. I was brought up in Kent. Naps are white cherries, not black. I've just bought some oranges labelled Seville. They're big and light orange, not small and reddish. They're not Seville oranges. I wonder if supermarkets choose their food buyers on the basis of looks rather than taste, too. |
