Ugliest Vegetable Contest
Published by Expired Foods on 10.12.2005 at 10:31 AM.
Britain's National Trust has launched a campaign to find the country's ugliest vegetable.
Gardeners were encouraged to submit anything from two legged carrots to corkscrew runner beans, which often taste great but are rejected because of their looks.
The trust, which looks after many of Britain's historic gardens, says it hopes the campaign counters a trend among retailers for stocking perfect looking fruit and veg, regardless of its taste.
Entrants have nearly a year to produce something ugly.
Winners will be announced during British Food Fortnight in September next year.
