Where are we all getting cornflour from now?

[Blainesmaries]

Now that tesco and asda are not stocking it, where are we all getting it from, sainsburys'?

I saw some in Home Bargains today.

🤣🤣🤣

B and M, Home Bargains.

Oh gosh now everyone will panic buy because they can't batter their squid or tofu!

waitrose have it - I bought some this week.

Not again. Excuse me, I'm about to shout.

TESCOS IS SELLING CORNFLOUR. IT'S JUST DISCONTINUED ITS OWN BRAND. IT STILL SELLS BROWN AND POULSON'S CORNFLOUR.

Thank you

I'm not completely up to date on these fast-moving things but shouldn't one be saying the 'market of colour' now? 🤔

Tesco has it here, but a branded one so it's £2.75

I don't even have any at home! For thickening sauces - this is after braising or roasting, yes? - I simply use French-style beurre maniée or floured butter. That's normal flour and butter mixed 1:1. Some people make a larger quantity, it keeps up to two weeks in little balls, but I just mix it fresh every time, just crush the butter in the flour with a fork. Dissolves without clumping and you just add however much you need.

In the old days people used to use flour and water for wall-paper paste.
Ironically it's coming full circle where one may have to use wall-paper paste (with anti-mould feature) for thickening gravy and stews.
Funny old world, isn't it?

Where all the white powders comes from.

I got it in Morrisons but had vaguely noticed that there doesn't seem to be so much of it. Coeliac here too so we use a lot of it.

I was in a Chinese supermarket in Soho at the weekend. They sold it in bags the size of normal flour bags. They had shelves full.
So if you have a Chinese supermarket, head there.

Tesco said they were withdrawing it due to low demand but have now changed their mind. Our zero waste shop stocks cornflour so that is where I am buying it. If not, Morrisons, Waitrose, Co op and even Amazon does it.

Bought some in lidl yesterday, I mostly use it for making viennese whirls, and bakewell blondies!

This was a jokey thread by the way....
It's made worse by people suddenly panic buying it, isn't it. it's a very rarely purchased product for most but suddenly it's out of stock everywhere (I have looked, clearly not everywhere).

It may be a jokey thread but it's not a joke for the coeliacs. DH could probably live without cornflour but he has to forego so much else already ...

Lidl had plenty today.

I've just checked websites for Tesco, Waitrose, Asda, Ocado, Morrisons, Sainsburys and ALL list cornflour.

Like others, Lidl is my dealer.

🤣Do they cut it together with less quality stuff?

Waitrose.

I bought a packet in Asda yesterday. I has to buy a jacket for work last Thursday and went to Tesco. Just went to usual shelf.

They had it in the sainsburys local store near my office yesterday!

Sainsburys yesterday
