I thought the leek looked fresh
Today's tea was going to be pork and leek stir-fry.
Well, that was until I saw the caterpillar, which had been hiding in the leek:
I did what everyone does in the circumstances:
- shrieked
- called the children for an impronto natural history lesson
- decided to add it to the pot for extra protein
- got out the camera
OK, maybe everyone doesn't do all of those - darn thing tried to make its' escape:
(I took it to the compost heap, along with the rest of the leek.)

That's one fresh leek!
At least you know it wasn't over-sprayed!
I have been growing broccoli this year. The first few flowers were fine, but then the bugs found them and I ended up with two on my cutting board one evening. Bleurgh.
Honestly -- I probably would have eaten the leek (after rinsing it again).
