A Harrogate woman was reduced to laughter when she discovered the cauliflower she had planned to cook for dinner was in fact the size of an egg.
Sarah Stead visited the Aldi store in Harrogate on Thursday to do her usual weekly shop but got a surprise when she started to prepare her meal that night.
When she began peeling away the numerous leaves she discovered the vegetable itself was in fact as small as an egg.
She said:
“It was in the offer section for 59p but still I didn’t expect to be this small! I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw it.”
She said it looked like a normal cauliflower in its packaging.
She added:
“I hope no one else has one in their house they’re yet to cook with. They’re going to get a shock.”
This was the cauliflower Ms Stead discovered when she got home.
Ms Stead had hoped to cook cauliflower cheese for dinner but had to change her plans.
She returned to the store next day and received a full refund. She added she found the situation more amusing than annoying and thought it was a funny story to tell.
Aldi had not responded to our request for comment by the time of publication.
