So although agreed last november it was only last wedensday july 1st that the new EU rules allowing ugly twisted or misshapen fruit and veg to once again be sold in shops came into force.
No longer will we be forced to have straight cuecumbers and apples all the same size.
who knows maybe the taste will start to improve as well? It cant get any worse everything is so bland its like eating baby food.
I like to buy from local farm or organic shops if I can they dont have the same silly restictions and you really can taste the difference.

Does this mean we can expect further concessions such as the number of varieties of peas that can be sold and lifting the restrictions on seed sales? That would be nice.

I hope so.. I think one of the reasons that fruit is so bad at the moment is the lack of variety within each type. Growers are sticking to the one type they know will be past by the EU censor. Hopefully this ruling will see a return to some of the more tasty but non conformist varieties..
