^ I agree, Trillian. There's a difference between a 'blemish' and a bruise/rotting spot. I'm quite happy to take fruit and veg that isn't 'perfect', providing the quality of the edible bits are good... and if I plan to use the fruit/veg very soon, I'll even take stuff that I know is on its way out - if it'll get eaten before it's gone yuck, it's fine by me. I don't expect fresh produce to be 'perfect', but I do expect it to be of reasonable freshness and quality... Would I seem silly if I confess that I actually enjoy digging through crates of fruit and veg looking for odd shapes and 'unique'-looking food? I think it's funny to find a tomato that has a big knobble on one side, kwim? I'm only eating it, not presenting it in an art gallery, so I don't worry much about what it looks like provided it's safe to eat
