On Thursday Bloomberg reported that the cost of a traditional English breakfast in Briton has grown to more than £35 ($43), in large part due to a shortage of fresh vegetables in supermarkets and a rapidly accelerating inflation.

According to Bloomberg’s monthly “Breakfast Index,” the cost of a traditional English breakfast was up 22% year over year in February. It was the second straight month the index rose more than 20%.

The index, measures the cost of standard packages of eggs, milk, sausage, bacon, bread, butter, tomatoes, mushrooms, tea, and coffee.

According to the latest figures, a loaf of bread and a dozen eggs in the UK increased in price by 33% year over year. Tomatoes were up 6.4% for the month as skyrocketing energy bills made it too expensive to grow vegetables in energy-intensive greenhouses. The shortage was so acute some supermarkets even began limiting the sales of specific products per person.

Helen Dickinson, the chief executive of the British Retail Consortium, said, “Households continued to be squeezed by inflation driven by food prices and household bills,” adding that as the pound has weakened, it has “made importing products such as vegetables from Europe more expensive.”

The latest data from the UK Office for National Statistics (ONS), shows that the prices for foods in supermarkets are growing at their fastest pace since 2005. In the process, many families and shoppers have been forced to downgrade from shopping in mid-market stores, to discount stores.

Meanwhile Britain is seeing the worst inflation is has seen in a generation. Consumer prices surged 10.4% last month, handily beating the 9.9% consensus forecast of economists, and up from the 10.1% prices rose in January.

All of that in continuing to place even more pressure on already cash-strapped households.
