Anyone got an alternative to Bisto gravy granules available in the supermarkets here, Super U sometimes have it, but not that often, and I suspect it is now on the forbidden list to bring out from the UK.

I don't how much you pay in Super U but you can get Bisto on Amazon.fr I guess it's quite expensive? I have the same problem with Birds Custard - can't get it in the supermarket so it's a luxury Amazon purchase.

I know it was less than 3€ in super U, probably why they have run out.

That's exactly right I hate to be ripped off, why the Corner shop is really the last resort.
