I've not been able to buy any this year so far, in two separate supermarkets. (I wasn't just going for edam, I hasten to add!)

@garlictwist also can't find mini marshmallows, since well before Christmas. Tried every supermarket nearby (London) but no Aldi or Morrisons locally. Tesco saying they are out of stock online. Really wanted them as a hot chocolate mid afternoon home schooling treat.☹

I want to know what's happened to mini marshmallows - my only vice. There haven't been any in the shops for a few weeks and I've tried everywhere.

M&S have them (where I am), with the baking ingredients.

I needed two bags for the kids Christmas and eventually found them in Morrisons if that helps.

Edam is the devil's cheese. Plastic muck

Bought some Edam from Asda for Christmas, haven't opened it yet.

Bought some delicious Red Leicester that is almost gone; and some really bland and flavourless Cheshire too.

@Oldraver

We buy Edamski, sliced cheese from the Polish section of the fridge

It probably bears no relation to proper Edam

This reminds me of my self-catering holiday in Krakow; brilliant Carrefour supermarkets on every corner but the only cheese they stocked was Gouda Shock

I had some about November time. Think I got it from a large Asda?

This, a thousand times this. Ended up buying a bag of massive USA style ones and chopping them up for hot chocolate

Morrisons always seem to have it

It's been so long since I've bought Edam cheese I'd forgotten it existed. I love Edam cheese. And no, the sliced stuff is definitely not the same.

I have tried for weeks to get hold of Chamomile tea. None in Lidl, Sainsbury's or co op. I went into a Bargain Booze last night thinking no way would they stock it but lo and behold I managed to get a box.
No parmesan in Lidl either.

We had loads in the Midlands we have a shortage of borsin over Christmas

Mini marshmellos were found in b&m bargains

Anyone else fed up with only being able to buy certain types of cheese pre-sliced. Edam and Gouda for example but also Lidl used to do a big block of Emmental for about £2.50 but now you can only buy the slices.

Our Morrisons had a Christmas excess of brie and it was being sold at half price yesterday. Which illustrates the ridiculousness of use by dates, because it's not even ready yet, but is apparently out of date.

I can’t find Brie anywhere. My local sainsburys in NI have replaced a lot of their products with spar brand because of brexit

Mum and I spent ages looking for Edam just before Christmas ended up asking the lovely lady filling up the yoghurt section. She walked across the aisle and pointed to a box full Blush. It was lined up on the shelf in one of the resealable bags, you couldn't see the red wax and it looked just like the chedder!
