Muddy potatoes sold in Tesco for first time since 1970s - and you won't pay for the dirtA new scheme will see unwashed white potatoes sold across more than 260 Tesco supermarkets for the next six monthsByDominic Penna7 March 2021 • 5:00pmMuddy potatoes are to be sold in Tesco for the first time since the 1970s, but scales will be adjusted so that you only pay for spuds and not mud.A new trial will see unwashed white potatoes sold across 262 Tesco supermarkets throughout the next six months.The scheme, which could eventually be rolled out to all of the chain's 2,650 shops, is being run alongside Lincolnshire-based potato suppliers Branston.Sales of unwashed potatoes in supermarkets and grocery stores was common practice until the 1970s, as leaving the soil on would block out light and result in a longer shelf life.Tesco and Branston say that the shelf lives of the potatoes used in the scheme so far have more than doubled, with an increase from five days to 11 days....

Plant-based foods offer rich harvestYou've heard of peak oil. How far are we from peak oat milk? Plant-based foods are booming as environmentally conscious consumers lap up alternatives considered better for their own health and that of the planet.UK sales of plant-based foods exceeded £1bn last year for the first time, with 13m consumers buying meat-free alternatives and dairy substitutes. Investors, too, seem to be falling over themselves for a slice of the action.Sweden's Oatly, backed by US private equity giant Blackstone and Oprah Winfrey, is gearing up for a float – the best example of the trend.A carton of Oatly brand oat milk CREDIT: Gabby Jones/BloombergBritain's Unilever is racing to catch up with a global plant-based meat market that it claims is growing at a compound annual growth rate of 15.8pc and set to reach $35bn by 2027.Companies have realised that for mainstream consumers, the term 'vegan' is a turn-off while 'plant-based' conjures up alluring images of fields of ripening wheat and vegetables. Plant-based meat is undoubtedly a growth market, but are valuations getting too frothy? It's possible, but with this much momentum behind it, this seems to be an investment trend that could run and run.... Robin Pagnamenta... Daily Telegraph

Thomas Gordon5 Mar 2021 9:56AMThe High Street has never been static.   It evolves.  100 years ago it had Blacksmith shops, in the 1970's i remember haberdasheries and records shops, and 20 years ago every high street had a Blockbuster Video.I will be sorry to see them go, but the large department store format is also disappearing into history and no amount of government help will stop that...
