I just had a quick google, Tesco, Co-op, Asda and Amazon.

I suppose you mean online but I don’t shop on line and I can’t find it in the shops.

It must be a regional thing as Morrison’s and Co-Op definitely don’t have it in my area. I have yet to explore Waitrose but I don’t hold out much hope as all our supermarkets are relatively small.

Waitrose have it.

Arborio rice is fine, though some swear by long slow cooked basmati. Cant stand the stuff personally, the smell makes me heave, and I was hit every day for not eating it when in hospital with scarlet fever for a month
aged 5, and spent many hours in the Bursar's office at school looking at a congealing smelly bowl, but could not get it down. Good luck to those who can enjoy it! smile

I've just remembered someone was asking about this a while back. They said they couldn't find it in the supermarket. Someone said it is with the ready-made rice puddings (Ambrosia), not with the other rice's.

Co op and Morrisons still stock pudding rice.

A risotto rice is very similar to the pudding rice because it is round-grained and will have a creamier consistency. (Arborio or carnaroli). But normal long-grain rice will also do at a pinch.

I blame Brexit

I have had the same problem and have resorted to using the ordinary long grain which is O K. My daughter had the same problem and found it advertised online as being at Asda but she could not find any.

Now that we are getting this lovely fresh milk from the farm DH would like a rice pudding. I cant find pudding rice anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find it or can anyone tell me what other rice can be used - recipe would help please.
