There's no herbs in Sainsbury's.

None at all??

The corner shop also seems to have run out of cracked black pepper and sea salt kettle chips, for at least 3 weeks now.

This is making WFH less pleasant.

I have, but not everyone thinks I'm wierd.

#2 Yes! Nothing! Twice. Once at about 3pm and a different day about 7pm. A whole row of empty boxes.

Hmm, covid or brexit do you think?

It turned out to be a No Dill Brexit.

Over Christmas just gone: marzipan

During first lockdown: Branston Pickle

Very good Popstar, groans all round over here.

It reads like I walked you into that but I swear I didn't.

All the soft fruit seems to be Moroccan, not Spanish.

And cherry tomatoes, I'm noticing.

There was a definite shortage of leeks last October. Most of my weekly exercise was in pursuit of leeks for a while.

Essential for Singapore noodles.

#13: Leeks are supposed to be in season, but they are right sad specimens in my greengrocer.

Pancetta. Across multiple different supermarkets.

Here in the EU the cat litter situation has been glitchy for well over a year. There was some last week for the first time since mid December - fortunately I had stocked up. I hope the fact that it reappeared means they've now sorted the supply line.

You can get Quixo stockpots in Aldi, and they often have the Knorr ones too. Stockports as I call them.

Leeks are now ok again, but yes, pancetta is hard to come by.

Ouch Elderberry, having two cats, that sounds grim. Amazon prime delivers them here, luckily, so I stock up on the big bags of catsan as the cats are fussy bastards.
