plenty of nuts around,but tommys in short supply

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

Thank you im off to shops to bulk buy flour and tomato sauce, ill leave the nuts until next week. Xxxx

Aepgirl. I couldnt agree more.

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.

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!!

I’m not bothered about ketchup, but the grandchildren like it. Better get a new bottle then for the store cupboard.

Have a daily dose of nuts. Some good news at last. Thanks.

HP sauce for me.

Well I for one am worried. My ASD son has ketchup on everything and he will struggle if we can’t get it.

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.

Oddly enough, I can’t buy Twinings tea in my area. Tried Morrison’s and Tesco. Strange for such a well known brand to disappear from the shelves.

Anyone else Twinings-less?

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!?

if you;re short of nuts/flour/anything I've got a lot of fir cones available............

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.

"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. :-)

Lemongrove, sorry about the FF sandwich thing. They are so good though.

Marilii. HP sauce is the one you need. Available from most supermarkets. Lovely spicy/fruity flavour and great with grilled breakfasts or sausage sandwiches!

I agree Terribull, and that woman in charge reneged on her promises.

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!

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 love ketchup! What on earth will I put on my bread when I have a fish finger sandwich?

Tartare sauce. ?

Oh yes LightAmber I like that too!
