Satsuma watch

[Wjdbxb]

WHERE ARE THE SATSUMAS?? I’ve been looking for a couple of weeks ans they usually appear at the end of October, but there are none to be found in Aldi, Waitrose or Co-op. I remember there not being any around last year either so suspect that this is all down to bloody Brexit. And, no, tangerines or clementines or “easy peelers” are not an acceptable substitute.

Has anyone spotted any? They are my favourite fruit and I look forward to them all year.

Thank you for calling out this travesty. Market is a good thought. Heading to Aldi tomorrow but I am not confident.

What's wrong with those continentals? Why don't they like satsumas?

This is genuinely giving me panicky feelings.

I’m very excited - my ocado order is due in two hours and my confirmation email says that I’ve got no missing items - I think my satsumas are finally coming!

My satsumas have arrived and they are wonderful!

Proper satsumas in Tesco. I've no idea how they're labelled on line but they have satsuma on the bag tag.

That gorgeous Christmassy aroma 🍊

PS taste wise, they're a mixed bag literally....

None in my tesco…just the bastard “easy” peelers making promises they can’t keep 🙄

I bought some lovely large ones at Sainsbury's today. I got 2 bags.

Round trip of an hour to visit Morrisons on the satsuma search. Waste of time. They didn't even have an empty bit of shelf where they should be. Nothing but easy peelers. I even read the tiny labels on the actual fruit to see if they were in the wrong bags, but no.

None in Lidl or Aldi. I was hoping for one of those big “grocer’s boxes” but only yucky clemmsterpeelers in those. Urgh!

I found a bag of satsumas in a Tesco branch on Sauchiehall Street yesterday (Glasgow). Very surprised. Decent fruit too.

I prefer tangerines

Bringing this back again because ‘‘tis the season. Has anyone seen any yet?

Found some in Asda but they were quite sour.

I’ve not seen any yet. Tesco and Lidl here are still awash with the “easy peelers” that are anything but with their tight skins. I want a baggy skinned satsuma!

Yes regular in Sainsbury’s now

Yes, our local small Sainsbury's has had them for a couple of weeks and today I got two nets from Ocado. Happy times are here again!

Only Sainsbury’s here, and they’ve gone dry and or brown quickly. Disappointing 🙁

Sainsbury here too but quality patchy, as if they found the ones they were supposed to sell last year in some big warehouse and just bung them out on the shelves.

Got some from Tesco last year but they tasted of nothing. I used to love them in the past.

I am pleased to report I FOUND SOME. In M&S. Masquerading as “easy peelers” and sold individually for 35p, but they were definitely satsumas (5 decades+ of experience) ie with the nice loose (not too loose) coat and bright orange colour. I bought five to be on the safe side, and ate them all in one go.

Had some from Sainsburys last week and they were good, looked a bit scrappy, but the fragrance when I opened one was fabulous and they tasted great. Didn't get to find out whether they kept well as they were gone in a couple of days.

I'm disappointed. I thought some rival company to Apple had invented a smart watch and were calling it a satsuma watch!

We have them at the greengrocers

We had them delivered yesterday but not enough sold out at tesco this morning!
