Just this 😆 To add: my DD eats this by the bucket load so she will be most upset!

Shit just got real.

It will be avocado shortage next. There will be riots in the aisles of M&S streets!

Squiff70 · 08/07/2022 13:50

Nobody will be able to afford to eat soon anyway so 🤷‍♀️

Emmelina · 08/07/2022 13:51

Super easy to make :)

Well there's going to be a shortage of chick peas too, so good luck with that.

AnneLovesGilbert · 08/07/2022 13:53

You don’t have to use chickpeas. Any white bean will do, I usually use butter beans.

Lottieskeeper · 08/07/2022 13:56

Adding 24 cans of chickpeas to shopping delivery in a blind panic 😉

I kid you not but chocolate chip brioche haven’t been available for months now. Not in Waitrose… not in M&S. my 6yo doesn’t believe me… his world is under threat…

Asda and Tesco don't either, I've tried so I feel your pain!

Good! My DS had his first allergic reaction to it (turned out he's allergic to sesame) I hope it disappears forever.

Aldi chocolate brioche (also at Lidl) is best

TerffLonDon · 08/07/2022 14:11

Reminded me of this….

I hope not. DC3 is on a strict medical diet but she is allowed (and adores) hummus.

As a PP said though we probably won't be able to afford it soon anyway.

takeitandleaveit · 08/07/2022 14:21

I haven't been able to find couscous anywhere. Been looking for about 10 days.

...ah, just looked up where a lot of durum wheat is grown. Russia.

Is this the start of the MC equivalent of the social media video where a DM tells an increasingly upset young DD that lockdown has led to the closure of McDonalds, KFC, Pizza Hut and so on. No hummous. No brioche. Eventually no sourdough. All the older adults who took part in the Poll Tax riots when students will bring out their Cambodia t-shirts...

I think so!

I read that as UK short of humans. Quite disappointed now. Also disappointed as DS is type 1 and hummus is one of the east low carb things he likes. Bummer.

Abra1d1 · 08/07/2022 14:29

Just when you think the year can’t be any worse.

If you can stoop to it, try other shops. No shortage of brioche in Asda or Aldi round here

PutinIsAWarCriminal · 08/07/2022 14:36

😱 nooooo - what about falafel!?

Probably been eaten by the transsexual eco-warrior remoaner illegal immigrants benefit cheats who are stealing hummus from Hardworking British Families
