The bloody fruit and veg stall has done for me yet again. Not content with forcing me to make Victoria Sponges and purchase double cream, it has now caused a bit of a moral dilemma.
The thing is they have such amazing offers, today's being on Pears. No prob, I hear you chorus, English Pears now in season. Well yes but the ones on offer are from China and wot with me being a bit of a 'Greenie' and being aware of air-miles and all that old tut I was facing a bit of a problem.
Five Chinese pears in a punnet 50p, similar amount of English 'Conference' Pears, £1.20.
Well, they didn't import the Pears especially for me.
I do need to keep up with my five a day.
I am on a very restricted budget.
They were ready for eating, not as hard as Iron.
They looked good with a little colour and bloom on the skin.
Yes good reader, I turned to the Chinese product, how could I not?
Dennypoos........who can let you know that Chinese Pears travel well.
