Better fruit n veg please

Fruit and vegetables in the UK don't taste as good as they should.  In fact unless you buy organic, tomatoes in my opinion taste like fish.  I don't mean that I have never acquired a taste for fruit and vegetables, but I have grown up with organic vegetables and travelled enough to know the flavour that we should enjoy!

In the UK we have a reputation of eating absolutely anything. This is exploited in the supermarkets by providing inferior foods that our European neighbours wouldn't dream of consuming.  Even if you are opting for healthier foods they are half as good as the products available on the Continent.  I have it on good authority from Continental friends that even the better quality nuts sold here are often quite stale. 

The French Market came to town yesterday and the peaches I purchased there were half to triple the size of the peaches usually available, and so full of flavour!  So why, if they can be bought over for one day, aren't we enjoying this produce on a day-to-day basis?  Is it that the British just aren't fussy enough, or too passive so we live up to the reputation of eating anything.  It's little wonder that many in the UK don't acquire a taste for fruit and vegetables since what's currently provided in supermarkets doesn't represent the best in the taste.
