Lettuce $10 not bad...... then you turn it over and wonder what eat 3/4 of this lettuce and why it only have 4 leaf?

forget pimento is 4 for $5
cucumber $6
ocro $1 for 1
eddoes $12
cabbage $10
sweet pepper $16
bodi $12 a bundle
pumpkin $5
saim $15

pak choi $12

every thing cannot be scarce, freight drop by almost a half so fertilizer and such has to come down soon. other wise divali and christmas will be stress.

Depending on what it is, pepper is a absolute must.

Curry and doubles without pepper does taste like it missing something important

Ketchup on pizza should be a sin. Worse yet mustard etc too. Madness

The absolute worst sauce is garlic sauce. That thing overwhelms the taste of whatever you put it on and it's only garlic sauce you tasting, nothing else.

thats because they put too much garlic, raw garlic overpowers and can have a bitter taste
the better garlic sauces are made with just a touch of garlic and slightly sweet
a good garlic sauce is basically a flavoured mayo

If by smooth, you're implying flat, then I agree.
