Today I eyeballed a nice curried parsnip soup recipe. Alas, all the supermarkets and fruit and veg shops were closed by the time I got to the shops.
So I bought some from a local convenience store that has a fairly decent fruit and veg section. (usually, I'd never buy fruit or veg from a convenience store but I was really keen to try the recipe)
They came in a cling-wrapped plastic pack, when I opened them they were quite slimy, and there was a fair amount of smelly water within. They seem ok otherwise, albeit some are a little soft and right now they are sitting in a saucepan covered by very salted cold water as I didn't want to hastily throw them out. But I don't know, smelly water and slime (which to me signifies bacteria) ain't very appetising, even if the salted water removes the slime.
Would you use them?
