Pasta
If you eat pasta regularly it might be an idea to by an extra packet - I noticed in a couple of supermarkets I went in this morning that people seem to be buying a lot of all the different types of pasta and there isn't a lot left on the shelves, I don't buy it but thought I'd mention it. Rice, which I eat a lot of seems to be starting to suffer the same problem and it's gone up in price as well.

It goes back to the wheat and fertiliser shortages I mentioned on the Ukraine thread.
Shortages are starting to kick off riots already - https://english.alarabiya.net/News/worl ... kraine-war
It is going to be an unsettled year ahead, I think.

We make all of our bread so slowly stocking up on flour.niemeyjt wrote: ↑Thu Mar 10, 2022 11:47 am It goes back to the wheat and fertiliser shortages I mentioned on the Ukraine thread.

Whilst not recommended I find bread flour makes half decent pasta so that'll also do if we can't buy the 'real' stuff.

oh dear I fit into the spud category (and bread) - I eat very very little rice or pasta only if I really have to Give me a sandwich or a bag of chips any day and I'm as happy as Larry (not the cat!)

I prefer spuds, but not in a bag I have to fill in the supermarket (I only buy single large veg there so just stick the sticker on) but the little covered in mud and full of holes mishapen ones I get from the Saturday market. A quick scrub with a brush under the cold tap and sliced into the steamer. Lovely.
Don't always know what colour they are till I scrub them, sometimes red, sometimes white. Excitement and flavour in one ugly bundle.

On a brighter note...caulis were .99c in Lidl this week. Made oodles of cauli rice to go in the freezer with the home-made curries. Virtuous or what?

Aaargh! The dreaded Agata, favourite variety of all the supermarkets round here. What were known in UK as 'pig potatoes' because that's all they are fit for....
