However wouldn’t it better if the food banks gave out fresh vegetables,
and if necessary lessons on how to prepare potatoes and other basic vegetables,
and pans to cook them in, rather than giving out tins?
While there are tins of peas or carrots, I don’t think I have seen tins
of cabbage, broccoli, brussels sprouts or cauliflower. For
less than £1 you can by a cabbage, cauliflower or a bag of carrots, or for £1,
five kilos of potatoes or many vegetables at a well-known freezer shop which
will feed a family for more days than a tin will. Roger
Whitaker, Yorks Post Letters.
