Vegetables you can buy at the supermarket are absolutely atrocious. Every time I go home to my parents' and have home-grown tomatoes I cry.

Yup, the tomatoes available to me (UK) in supermarkets have zero flavour. I just buy them out of habit. They look great but they’re crap.

Waitrose sell some very nice tomatoes, albeit at very premium prices.

Sainsbury’s often stock UK-grown Thanet Earth tomatoes (look for “jubilee vine tomatoes” etc) which are some of the best I have found at normal prices, especially out of season.

Tesco tomatoes are almost universally bad.

About tomatoes: I think it's also because they're harvested before they're really ripe so they're harder and will handle transport better.
