A single onion, still in its net bag for three. Two medium-sized tomatoes. An orange. Tamar Saphra was surprised to find these ingredients — all fresh, all within their sell-by date — left in a Sainsbury’s bag on the back of her canal boat, moored in Limehouse.
Still, she cooked the tomatoes and onion into a curry and ate the orange, assuming they had been left by neighbours going away.
