The grapes of wrath

Just what the hell is it with the major supermarkets in this country?

I like to entertain myself by consuming large quantities of grapes.

But all of Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons - otherwise respectable supermarkets - sell disgusting sorry grapes that are small, watery and bitter.

The white grapes are always too bitter to enjoy and the red and black ones are always too lacking in any kind of substance, and also these supermarkets always have grapes with some kind of fine dusting of grot on them. They're not any cheaper, either.

Consistent sources of nice grapes include Waitrose, Marks & Spencer and, surprisingly, Asda. There, the grapes are always sweet and large.

Just why can the supermarkets I visit most not cough up proper quality grapes?

Asda has a nice offer on for 2 for £3, I have been enjoying them for the past week. I only like the red ones :D

When I saw the thread title, I feared it was going to be about piles.
