To ask where all the Taramasalata has gone?

Just that.

Not a single supermarket near me has any, Tescos said out for 3 weeks in every branch for 50 miles and no expected in date.

Really fancied some for lunch 🤨

Who had eaten it all?

It's now back in the shops! Very strange it did disappear from most supermarkets... Crisis?

PonyPatter44 · 30/11/2024 12:25

I feel that I need to report back on the taramasalata situation. There is LOADS of the stuff in Sainsbury's, both the fake pink own-brand and the Odysea slightly posher version. Bought the Odysea, will report back on the taste.

Garlic aeoli too here. For about 3 months it was cauliflower cheese!

EmotionalSupportPotato · 28/11/2024 23:00

Loads in mini tesco

You have me wondering if tarama is keto now op.....?

mynervesarejangling · 28/11/2024 20:35

Industrial action at Bakkavor, a large supplier of the fish roe dip, has caused a “short disruption” to the supply and availability of taramasalata at supermarkets across the country. Employees at Bakkavor's Spalding site in the Midlands launched strike action about six weeks ago over pay.😉

I had a breakthrough on this last week, found some in my local larger Sainsbury’s! It was Odysea brand, rather than supermarket own brand, which still seems to be out of stock.

Plenty in Waitrose.

Morrisons and Lidl stock it local to us.

Do they still have it though, as in the last few weeks?

I believe the shortage is due to a strike the major production site.

I love the stuff, yes the fake pink coloured sludge from UK supermarkets. Now I’m going to have to get some tomorrow! Usually it’s the warm weather that gets me buying it, so maybe it’s more of a seasonal thing?

EvilsElsasPetSnowman · 26/11/2024 17:29

In the bin where it belongs

I came on here this morning to ask this question as I love Tarama and haven't been able to get it for ages. A strike! But now resolved..... Christmas is saved!

AndBreatheeeee · 26/11/2024 17:13

M&S or Waitrose?

TinaT77 · 26/11/2024 16:29

Went down a rabbit whole on this 😂 need to stock up on other dips as apparently the strike will cause all sorts of issues over Christmas. Trying to find out if the manufacturer is also who makes hummus and tsatsiki, if it is I’ll contact the employer myself! 😂

Auburngal · 26/11/2024 14:01

oh that stuff we sold at my previous job. No one bloody bought it. Even on the UB date, reduced it to 1p and still wasn’t bought. We joked about it when someone found it on their delivery as worked out who would be reducing it.

Even if we gave customers a quid to take the stuff away. Still said no.

I have nightmares of this when I was 6, went to Corfu. At hotel buffet, I got some of as thought it was strawberry mousse. Took a big spoon. The horror! DF was pissing himself

Papyrophile · 26/11/2024 13:53

The best taramasalata comes from the fishmonger in our local ocean-side city. It's made by a French chef who used to own the best restaurant in the same city. It is not comparable to the slop in tubs in the UK supermarkets.

It’s a Taramasalata Tragedy!

The UK manufacturers had a strike, which I think is now resolved! Hoorah.

SpecduckularlyQuackers · 26/11/2024 11:33

I used to love taramasalata but the last couple of times it's made me feel really nauseous. I wonder if the recipe that the supermarket suppliers use has changed, or if I'm just Getting Old.

PonyPatter44 · 26/11/2024 11:28

I love taramasalata, and yes, it is getting hard to find. The waitrose smoked salmon version is amazing.
