Foodies time to panic - Purple broccoli shortage

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink ... rtage.html

It is a middle-class nightmare as traumatic as when there was a fettuccine famine at Waitrose. Farmers have warned that there is a severe shortage of purple-sprouting broccoli, after the bitterly cold winter.

I'm not going to lose any sleep over this. Can't stand broccoli of any hue.

Blech.
