Mis-shaped fruit and veg tastes exactly the same, it's a crime when farmers are forced to dump tonnes of the stuff

Deadly these in the wrong hands :laughing:

An avocado is an avocado irrespective of its shape, colour or belief. Bargain price. Heat added.

RELEASE THE VEGANS

Deadly these in the wrong hands :laughing:

I love avocados

Avocados, the fad of 2015.
Wonky veg, the fad of 2016.

Why put yourself through that when Aldi sells perfectly normal ones for 45p? Or if you buy the 4-pack ripe at home, it works out to even less!

RELEASE THE VEGANS

What shape are avocados supposed to be? Aren't they normally wonky?

Aren't they a fruit?

Next thing you know well be eating staight bananas!
what is this world coming to? is it the start of the Brexit effect? :stuck_out_tongue:

deals gone a bit pear shaped

Wonky avocado. Otherwise known as, an avocado.

Avacados are 45p @ Tesco, not sure where the £1.05 a piece comes from.

£1.65 IIRC

Fabulous deal

Tesco do frozen ones now too.

Or a good Fuerte (Avocado variety in this Morrisons deal)

free shvokado

Are these cheap because of their wonkyness?

49p non wonky medium sized Avocado's in Tesco's atm

Fad hag.

Actually I think VR is the fad of 2017.
I can just imagine walking around my virtual avacado before I buy it, then chucking the headset in a drawer until 2018.

Well the last 7 years have doubled the debt, I'm all for a bit of progression the Tories of the last 7 years have been a fraud to what Tories stand for, at least Labour have gone back to their roots! Copying SNP policies lol

Wait till Brexit, there will be a food shortage every week even though it will cost more lol couldn't make it up!

Avocados a fad? They're super healthy AND tasty for you. I'll have one of these sliced up with Salmon and eggs every day!

They are not dumped, the demand domestically in South Africa is huge, anything that is not considered suitable for export is processed and used for either fresh guacamole or frozen product which is then exported for processing, usual bull **** PR from the supermarkets trying to convince the public they are doing the farmers a favour.

What 's different between the good wonky avocados and the misshapen and superficially blemished one?

I agree Media rubbish convincing people that that all this mis shaped/blemished produce goes to waste. In reality it is used and always has been in many other products such as soup/ ready meals/ smoothies/ juices etc., where shape and size is not important to the manufacturer Even if it's just used for animal feed , that then goes onto produce the meats and animal products we require, so still a valid use from our perspective .
Some supermarket Wonky fruit/veg is as good if not better than the normal variety and I often buy it, price is not a factor in my decision as the supermarkets are charging almost as much for the Wonky varieties as for standard
To me the Wonky fruit/ veg is just the rebranded Class 2 fruit/veg they used to sell many years ago which then became their economy brands and now called Wonky . Nothing new just marketing .

Are these in season now, I know they come from abroad; When is the best time to get these when there's lots in the markets and also supermarkets ?

as usual from Morrisons :neutral_face:

I saw Wonky Avocados supporting Happy Mondays in the late 80's.

Morrison's fruit and veg is terrible. It all seems to have been frozen or stored incorrectly prior to sale.

Don't buy these they are the Devil's Avocates

Agreed, force is the wrong word choice. However the consumer are to blame - Majority shunned local stores/ markets for supermarkets. Putting the power in their hands. What we eat, where we buy it and traditional family meals where everybody pitches in should be what we return to. Naturally, Mobile phones and fidget spinners are allowed at the table, I'm not insane! :man:

Avocados are so good for you and the perfect lunch to go. I mash it up and spread inside a pitta bread.

Just wait until the middle of next week before using them or you will have a long wait at your local hospital or doctors surgery, should you slip with the knife.

Sounds like its an excuse to sell even smaller avocados than the baby avocados that they usually try to pass off as avocados to ppl who probably wouldnt have even been able to tell what one was 2 years ago ;/ I miss proper spanish avocados rather than these israili/chillean pebbles ;/

And yeah, morrisons fresh section has always been poor, they have no idea what temp to keep things at.

Avocado knife injuries in Chelsea and Westminster? Talk about a middle class hazard!

I'll be heading down there to buy some. Great to know they're not sourced from Israel too.

No way, those regular ones are dangerous enough. How are people going to cope cutting these at an angle

Probably because the Morrisons/Ocado home delivery partnership ?

Agree, but...
Factually most new homes in the last 30+ years are not built with dining rooms or space for such contraptions, it's all about TV dinners in house design. If the gov wanted to encourage eating well AND together from a mental aspect they would change the building regs to require a dining space of minimum proportions like a minimum bedroom measurement, the Dept of Health knows this as much as lower ceilings and less natural light with smaller windows is detrimental to mental health and outlook. But let's face facts easier to pass the buck to DWP, HMRC etc etc any other gov body to deal with outcomes out their budget (which they all fail to grasp comes out one budget - OUR tax).

Same as environmental impacts, we are building homes & businesses premises unsuitable and unsustainable en mass that are not improving people's lives and values.

Frankly why a retail parks should not provide co-op housing above retail premises for adult only households is a joke, we can't keep building out or poor design quality 'new' housing.

My apartment is new build 35 years ago, lounge is small (not as small as today's requirements) and I compensate by the fact I have a old wooden extendable table that sits lower than today's dining tables a few inches with my tv on one side with 3 chairs around the non walled sides, it also doubles as desk/PC, can extend if needed on the rare occasion.

I make the best of what I have got, which further to your other point we have a Tesco or a (expensive) greengrocer closer, there is no fruit and veg market anywhere close...Edinburgh is the closest, why local authorities don't convert some ground housing into shops in each 'housing estate' that farmers from within X a radius can sell direct to the public is beyond a joke - you could even have a notice board/twitter/Facebook where people share recipes based on stock for each 'farmers store'.

Successive U.K. Governments fail in general, leaving the EU won't help brits, the failures are within.

Heat added but in your post you use "Deformed". I think mis-shaped is better.
People are right a lot of fruit and veg grow mis-shaped but you are conditioned to believe that only the perfectly shaped fruit and veg are the best quality.

seems right for 39p wonky or not

Very clever how then they gear the app content to Postcode/delivery address. We only ever see content from Morrisons when using the app. No Ocado delivery in our area sadly. I gather from the confirmation via the app our delivery comes from a center in Gateshead - some distance to us - at least 25 miles. Nonetheless, never ever had a poor fresh produce item delivered.

I assume they choose areas between them and the logistics are buying power too? Certainly as ex retail project management to keep costs down that's how you would do it. Ocado takes better off area deliveries and Morrisons everywhere else ? Certainly Ocado won't be delivering to the worse areas or have stores nearby.

My nearest Waitrose (let alone Ocado) is Comely Bank Edinburgh, the Morrisons store checker does not even work lol https://groceries.morrisons.com/webshop/getStaticContent.do?siteId=612&dnr=y&site=desktop

There's nothing quite like "deformed avocados"

Can anyone give me a lift to Morrisons? I drive but I don't avocado.

I like Morrisons, but saw these last night - not good value for money, in my opinion. Much better value at Aldi/Lidl or local market. Also, they didn't look that 'wonky' to me......just poor value for the size of them.

is this still in store? if yes i will go to morrisons tomorrow

hi guys. i went to morrisons yesterday to look for these. to my disappointment, they were out of stock. left without option and did not want to go back without my avocados, i bought the normal loooking ones (four in a pack) priced at less than 1.70.
they were good and well cheap.
morrisons and tesco are now my two friendly go to shops for avocados.
