Parsley is a plant......right? (21)

But no, my chef wanted fresh parsley, they sell it at ASDA she says.

So I ask a colleague where I'll find the fresh parsley ( I have to admit that I wouldn't know fresh parsley if it came and hit me on the nose)

Anyway, she tells me its near the fruit and flowers and its in a small pot.

So off I go to Asdas, find the fruit, see the flowers and see plants....in pots. So I figure thats where I'll find parsley.

I'm rooting through the various plants with stupid names but can't find anything saying parsley. I see an ASDA woman with one of those big badges saying happy to help. So I call her over and ask her why I can't find any parsley. She looked at me, then looked at the plants. "Umm, your trying to find parsley here?" says she. Well I was told it was in a pot says I so yes, I'm looking here.

At that she lets out a bellowing laugh, everyone was then looking over!! Then in a very 'kindly' tone she says " Come with me dear, I'll show you where it is"

She leads me up the fruit aisle to the end and there was these bloody potted parsley things.

Feeling a bit of a div I mumbled my thanks and went to reach for one when she evidently thought I hadn't been humiliated enough and proceeded to show me flat parsley and fresh parsley in a packet. "Look" I says to her,"I just need parsley that will go with fish!!!"

She bellows another laugh, hands me a potted parsley and leads me to checkout. She evidently thought I was a 'care in the community' or something.

As I paid for my parsley she moved over to her colleagues and I could hear them laughing, I glanced over and recieved very pitying looks.

I got out of there as fast as I could and vowed never to go back!!

I can't cook, WHY would I ever know about fresh bloody parsley???
