Tell me some things you buy in your weekly shop that I might not

[IHeartKingThistle]

Just thinking of all the thousands of things in the supermarket, and I end up chucking the same things in my online shop every week just out of habit. So there must be things other people chuck in that I never do! I promise to add some of them to my shop this week and try them!

Where's your celeriac remoulade from please?? Love it but cba to make it

Anchovies.

Equinox kombucha, Manilife peanut butter, Spice Tailor black dahl, frozen soffrito, Crosta and Mollica aubergine sauce, Belazu butter beans, Pepperdew bottled peppers, Ottolenghi sweet and smokey spice blend, Waitrose medjool dates

Seaweed crisps
Quail eggs
Vegan cheese (it's vile but DS has a dairy allergy)
Olive bread
Bamba peanut puffs

Lemons
Miso soup
Pumpkins seeds
Fresh Fish either sea bass, salmon or cod
Cottage cheese
Protein yogurt

Chovi Spanish allioli (garlic) sauce. So gorgeous. I like it with tortilla chips but also good with a crusty baguette.
Feta cheese (well a cheep Greek salad cheese equivalent for me if I’m honest) delicious on cream crackers with tapenade or green olives.

This is all terribly middle class!

Cabbage for homemade coleslaw
Red lentils for soups

Heck chicken sausage patties
Extra large Easy Peelers
skinny whip bars
Frozen peeled pearl onions
iced gems

Yep, agreed, but good thread this one...

And in the food context, middle class doesn't not necessary mean 'much more expensive' - just different stuff that you might get into and enjoy...

Like when I as introduced to hummus at uni in 1990.

I've been literally 97.3 per cent hummus since about 1998 - so grateful to my middle class friend Vikash from Nottingham for that.

What can I add here...? Dunno but I absolutely love nice black puddings and poached eggs for brunch.

And red berries/blackcurrant/cranberry fruit tea bags/infusions have taken me away from caffeine recently.

Don’t worry, I was just about to lower the tone

Prunes, tons of prunes! My bowel is still on strike 9 weeks post C-section so I need a little help.

By the way, NMJ, I but Sainsbury's own brand marmite (just as delish) to save money for sun-dried tomatoes or something poncey 😝

Fear not, no mockingbirds were squeezed in the making of this juice.

🙄😂

Oooh this is a good thread op.

I buy tins of unsweetened peanut butter from ocado. The fake one from aldi is too runny.
A lot of 5% beef mince
Half side of salmon
Avocados
Kefir quark
Fage Greek Yoghurt
Blueberries
Fish in olive oil

Can you get the pear flavour of Swedish Glace? Because that is the best flavour. I loved nicking my allergic-to-dairy brother's ice cream when it was the pear flavour Swedish Glace!

Sour cream and powdered dip to mix into it - love dipping carrot and cucumber sticks in it.
Raspberry kefir - DS loves it, even though he says its "spicy"
At this time of year - pasha, though perhaps you can't get that in the UK. Its delicious though but only sold in the Easter season.

Bonne Maman apricot compote to go on my porridge
Chavroux goat cheese to grill for salads
Chipotle chilli
Golden kiwi fruit

Everything here:

Not supermarket, not weekly - I tend to buy in bulk every two or three months. All the wholefoods you could possibly want - mostly actually grown in the UK. Plus recipes on the site for almost every item.

Honestly lifechanging.

Last week I bought a packet of Jam Mallows Biscuits

I have not had them years

I’m going back to the shop (slightly out of the way) to buy another pack or two

Frozen chopped onions every single week. Game changer.
Frozen carrots, onions and celery occasionally when I see them too.

They completely remove the boring, eye stinging job of chopping onions for 5 to 10 minutes before cooking anything tasty.

Waitrose double cream Brie

Barrys Irish Breakfast Tea
Party Rings
Duck eggs

I love that. Do you have a good recipe?

Double yolk eggs
