This month I shall be wearing odd socks on Mondays and Thursday in a call for legislation against the compulsory purchase of unwanted broccoli stalks.
The status chasing broccoli, once feared in 32 nations and worshipped like a god in only one, has suddenly become a firm favourite and is often nestled deep within the average British weekly shop. The humble cauliflower has fallen to one side, as has the cabbage.
Is this a coincidence or has this popularity contest between the brassica's more to do with bulky inedible organic waste? For instead of neatly trimming the broccoli stalk close to the godly crown, our supermarkets decide to leave this elongated handle and then charge us for the privilege. Why do us shoppers have to pay extra for this so called organic handle.
Come, join in me in the revolution and don your odd socks.
