Another vegetable has been rationed by supermarkets after a cold snap in Europe led to a shortage.

Some UK supermarkets have run out of peppers entirely, and most major supermarkets have imposed limits on how many customers are allowed to buy.

Unseasonably cold weather in Spain slowed down the growing of peppers, leading to Morrisons limiting purchases to two per customer.
