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?

We got some in asda this week - totally agree it's disappeared recently

Don’t know where it’s gone, BUT… my mum did once find a fingernail in a tub. It really put her off the stuff! Perhaps she managed to tell sufficient numbers of people to cause a drop in UK wide demand.

Weirdly I don't think I've eaten this since the 80s!

We can't blame you then !

There is a you tuber i love from the US. She comes to the UK for 4 weeks a year and loves taramasalata. I think she ate it all.

This sounds the most likely.

I had noticed the exact same thing. I hadn't realised it was a "thing" though, just thought it was Sainsbury's inept ordering!

Oh no.

I did M&S, Tesco's and Sains.

The shelves were bare.

I wonder where Taramasalata HQ is and what is going on 🤔

Hummus has muscled in on its territory and banished it?

Oh yes maybe.

About 7 varieties of this all over the shelves.

But I really had a taramasalata itch ☹️

I really like tarama. If you have a Turkish/middle eastern corner shop they nearly always have it there.
Or if your really desperate could you order some from a local greek restaurant?
Hope you find some!

Vile stuff, so not me!

Morrisons and Lidl stock it local to us.

Not me 😉
