Is a root vegetable in or out this season?

Sadly there's an unforgivable trend sweeping the country. It's fashion at its worst and its kidnapped the innocent and unassuming, suburban fruit and vegetable aisle.

Don't get me wrong - I love my greens. But I just want to be able to eat them, without feeling like a fashion victim.

Last year's rocket sits there on the shelves knowing its time being 'in' is definitely over. Only the 'retro season' can bring it back to its former glory. And right beside the 'has been' rocket sits the flavour of the month, the 'in thing' - meet watercress. Even Jamie Oliver can't get enough.

What's a girl to do, when failing to keep up with the latest in shoes, she must now follow the seasonal trends of fruit and vegetables.
