Didn't want to post this,but as some one has posted that flour could be in short supply,heard on the radio that Tomato sauce could be in short supply. To compensate though there will be plenty of nuts around.
Kraft have ruined Cadbury's chocolate haven't they Callistemon, and Terribull. I don't buy it. They've ruined the Roses, cream eggs, well, everything. I used to love gnawing on a big bar of the proper chunky chocolate.
I have to confess to a new weakness, nuts eaten straight from the freezer! I had a bag in there left over from certain end of year celebrations, and got out a handful thinking I would defrost them for lunch, but tried nibbling one straight away, and they are wonderful, so crunchy!
Tomato ketchup you can have my allocation, can't abide the stuff!
Marilii. HP sauce is the one you need. Available from most supermarkets. Lovely spicy/fruity flavour and great with grilled breakfasts or sausage sandwiches!
"Brown sauce" sounds interesting but I've never heard of brown sauce and therefore am not sure what it is. Is it a gravy or is it something different? Spaghetti sauce has become too salty for my tastes - and blood pressure - so another type of sauce to put on spaghetti, noodles, rice would be great to know about and make in place of tomato sauce. :-)
Absolutely loathe nuts with a passion so it doesn't bother me at all. I very rarely use ketchup or brown sauce either, phew. I just hope that fresh fruit and veg is still available, plus dairy which I don't think I could live without.
There are certainly plenty of nuts in my area Esspee There you are! The other day you asked about my whereabouts; answer Melbourne, but you never said where you were! So where are all these nuts!? OoRoo
Talking of hazel nuts I enjoy the dark chocolate with hazel nuts sold in Aldi . They are the closest thing to the original Bourneville dark chocolate with roasted almonds that has n't been made for years, since before Cadburys was taken over.
I noticed a flourishing hazelnut tree on a walk with the dog - will have to try to remember Where I saw it and see if they are ready for picking. If there is a tomato sauce shortage, then my family will suffer greatly!!
The tomato sauce story came from Wetherspoon pubs running out during the Eat out to Help out scheme. So they had to buy up bottles in there 100s but I didn’t get that there’s a long term shortage, just a blip in the shops.
Thank you Neil, I didn't know that! I have been getting them previously, but not today. Never mind I'll survive without them
Probably not much chocolate these days Callistemon if you are referring to that particular brand, they're a bit mean with most of their products these days. Sadly we shouldn't have let Kraft get their hands on the nation's favourite chocolate, well mine at least even if didn't have the requisite percentage of cocoa solids to justify been called chocolate in the first place, anyway it's been going downhill ever since
All this talk about a shortage of this or that, or a price hike for something else, just makes the hoarders rush to buy every last packet of the item, and deprive others.
