There's many a youngster who doesn't know that crisps and chips are potato products or that milk comes from cows!

Wife works at local Tescos. She was gobsmacked when a 14 yr old walking in and asked where the hard boiled eggs were kept. She wanted one for school cookery class the next day. I kid you not.
