Where have the ginger nuts ?

Lidl had them, last time I looked. They are quite nice ones, too.

They haven't had them them at our local Morrisons or Sainsbury's for a while. Next time I go anywhere near a Tesco i'll have a look there. At the moment I'm having a love affair with plain digestives!

This is all the OH keeps going on about Every trip to the shops, he's like a bloodhound, trying to track a packet down!

Followed by the inevitable moaning when he can't find any......

angharad56 you don't know how happy your post has made me

Wonder if he'd like a go at one of the recipes??

The factory is in Carlisle and was flooded. My husband is working there to get it reopened, so hopefully they'll be back in the shops soon!

greyduster I tried googling "McVities ginger nuts" and got a whole list of results from supermarkets who sell them - so they must be around somewhere.

I used to love McVities ginger nuts but can't seem to find them now. The Aldi and Lidl ones are a bit wishy washy in the ginger department. Agree with JackyB - easy to make your own and much nicer.

No ginger biscuits in our co op including their own make.
They said same about flood.
So looks like quite a lot ginger biscuits made In same factory.

Ringtons Ginger biscuits are the yummiest ever. Nothing nicer than dipping a ginger nut in tea and sucking all the gingery loveliness through the biscuit.

They used to do a range of flavoured salad creams I loved the lemon and black pepper for a change from Mayo but they don't do them anymore .

Ginger nuts are dead easy to make. I have a recipe in my GH cookery book. I'll look it out when I get home if you like, if no one's posted one before I get in from work this evening.

Lots of things I have liked have disappeared off the shelves. I think they do it on purpose. (No point in going into details, as mostt of them are German, but I think it's the same over there)

That's life- you don't know what you've got till its gone!

Aldi do a very nice korma sauce (only used when in a hurry) the ones with the littlepot of spices under the lid. There are other flavours in the range but korma is hard to find so we stock pile.
I wouldn't know about the ginger biscuit situation in this area, cos they're nasty !!

In case you get desperate.

I was told that the factory of the main supplier of ginger nuts has been flooded.
A few years back I had difficulty finding Lighter than Light mayo, so now stockpile when I see some.

Don't panic! But we could be doomed!!

Title - Gone !
