This is a general, but non-politics, account covering everything from computer programming to supermarket meal deals; any politics will be taken up by @JdeBP.

The question is: Are they actually dead at that point? What constitutes death for a plant? It's not lack of brain activity.
Warning: Go too far down this road and you realize that the #potatoes that will happily begin growing shoots if you leave them in the sack for too long are alive and screaming when you drop them into boiling water.

After all, part of the point of #cooking is to kill otherwise still-alive organisms before eating.

Most days feature music on #vinyl. Many include a visit to the #gym. Enjoyed growing fruit and veg in the garden and, until January 2024, on the #allotment. Have now created an allotment in my new garden. A senior news editor with an interest in #photography. #nowplaying #growyourown #gardening #music #London

Michigan potatoes can now be shipped to South Korea after nearly 20-year effort. Which is good, I guess, but they're probably stale by now
