Stalk Breakers

[Gingermick]

Doing the shopping the other day I noticed a few broccoli stalks in with the rest. Some wretched sod must have broken them off to avoid paying a little more money for their fresh produce.:no:
Are there any other tricks that anyone uses to try and avoid spending a few bucks at the grocery store or hardware store? Come on 'fess up.

I call that theft, same as sampling grapes. I get that kind of weaseling all the time.

As a business owner I know how hard it is to make a dollar. Theives like that should have their right hands cut off, nothing extreme, just their right hands.

I always eat a grape before I buy,
If they're ok I buy,
if theyr'e substandard I don't buy

[Grunt]

I'm the same as Bob. Not quite as prickly tho.

Our local greengrocer has a sign on the broccoli saying "Anyone removing the stalks from the Broccoli will be charged piece price"

Went to buy a watermelon yesterday, but I didn't end up buying one as I was full as a goog after I finished the trial one.:o

My nickname at work is weasel and I must protest my innocence I have never sampled a grape in my life.:D

If they're worried about it, they should cut all the stalks off and charge more for it.

I actually knew someone who liked eating broccoli stalks, so if Con the Fruiterer had any smarts, he'd sell them too.

[Grunt]

If you peel broccoli stalks and slice them into bite sized bits they are great to eat. I add them to our stir fries.

Either that or I whip them up in the blender and feed them to the worms.

What if they are left handed?:)

[DavidG]

I cut the stalks into strips and cook them with the rest of the broccoli.
Still good vitamins and fibre.

I must fess up to being a sample taster
Bought some pink lady apples a while back, and they were sh%#.
probably been in the freezer,(you know the sort and taste I'm talking about here!), so now I try before I buy. If they don't like it, thats fine by me, I'll go else-where.
