I am growing Romas now, instead of slicers. Last year, I kept waiting and waiting for my yellow tomatoes to ripen, when it finally dawned on me that they were yellow tomatoes. Delicious, just not what I bought. #TomatoGate

#TomatoGate update: bought more tomatoes on the way home this evening; Spanish, this time.

Supervalu didn't have any peppers though.

Anyone else fed up of this yet? Because I am. #BrexitShortages #Tomatogate

At the risk of starting an international "incident," I'm *not* going to show you the tomatoes on our kitchen counter — currently from Mexico and Canada (thanks NAFTA) and the weirdly weird state of Florida (where Ron DeSantis has not found a reason to ban the wonder fruit yet — ketchup from fruit?? Don't tell him; he'll consider it a woke re-classification and... )

The empty supermarket shelves aren’t just a blip. They’re a symptom of a dysfunctional system
